In this part, as usual, we will construct a question and answer. Usually, questions can be answered with the replacement to "сех", or a repeat of the verb in yes-no questions. This time, however, we will answer the question in a full sentence so you know how normal sentences are strung together as well as questions.

The initial question is "To where are the men going?" and the answer will be "The men are going to Finland".

Question:
1. Question marker
2a. To where - Oblique
2b. Go - Verb
2c. The men - Agent
3. It will look like this:
тес исет сехе зос еу щиста хос
[tes 'i:set 'se:þe zos eu 'śi:sta þos]
*q to what.obl go *pct man.agt *sg
Where are the men going?

Question: "Where do you come from?" (asking a group of about 30 people)
1. Question marker

*q from what.obl come you.agt *lg
