Questions in Eittlandic are formed by inverting the syntactic subject
|
Questions in Eittlandic are formed by inverting the syntactic subject
|
||||||
with its verb in a normal sentence. For example, the sentence /han komr
|
with its verb in a normal sentence. For example, the sentence /hann
|
||||||
í dag með faðin hans/ (/he’s coming today with his father/) becomes a
|
komr í dag með faðin hans/ (/he’s coming today with his father/) becomes
|
||||||
question when inverting /han/ and /komr/.
|
a question when inverting /hann/ and /komr/. This is generally regarded as
|
||||||
|
a formal way of forming questions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A more formal way of creating a question is by suffixing /-vit/ at the
|
||||||
|
end of a verb without any change to the word order of the sentence. If
|
||||||
|
there is any declension at the end of the verb, /-vit/ will bear it
|
||||||
|
instead of the stem of the verb itself. It is somewhat similar to
|
||||||
|
asking a question in English by simply raising the sentence’s tone.

The verbs /ver(a)/ and /hav(a)/ both cannot use this construction.
|
||||||
|
Instead, Eittlandic speakers may instead simply add /vit/ as a
|
||||||
|
standalone word at the end of the question.
