GRAMMAR LESSON - complex sentences and questions

if there is more than one verb or object, you double the verb li li and e e respectively, even if there is no li li: mi moku li sona. mi moku li sona. = I eat and I know. jan li toki e toki pona li kama sona e ona. jan li toki e toki+pona li kama-sona e ona. = a person speaks toki pona and is learning (coming to know) it.
there are two ways to make a yes-or-no question
1. take the part you are questioning and double it, separated by the word ala ala: sina moku ala moku? sina moku ala moku? = are you eating?
2. take a normal statement and append “anu seme?” “anu seme?” (or just “, anu?” “, anu?” in casual speech, like they do in German with “, oder?”): sina moku anu seme? sina moku anu seme? = are you eating?
to answer any y/n question, you respond with the thing that was questioned for yes, or the thing that was questioned followed by ala ala (or simply with ala ala) for no: sina moku ala moku? // moku. sina moku ala moku? // moku. = are you eating? // yes.
to make an open-ended question, replace the part that you don’t know or want answered with seme seme: sina tawa seme? // mi tawa esun. sina tawa(seme)? // mi tawa(esun). == where are you going? // I’m going to the store.
Tto say you like something, say [ijo] li pona tawa mi. [ijo] li pona tawa(mi).

sina tawa esun anu tomo soma? sina tawa(esun) anu tomo+sona? = Are you going to the store or school?
ijo ni li tawa ona ala. ijo+ni li tawa(ona) ala. = This thing is not for them.
mi esun e tomo e ijo li kama sona e seme? mi esun e tomo e ijo li kama-sona e seme? = I buy a house and a thing and learn what?

I like this restaurant (food building). =

My house is bad. =

What is The Entity? =
