GRAMMAR LESSON - complex sentences and questions

if there is more than one verb or object, you double the verb li 󱤧 and e 󱤉 respectively, even if there is no li 󱤧: mi moku li sona. 󱤴󱤶󱤧󱥡󱦜 = I eat and I know. 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
- take the part you are questioning and double it, separated by the word ala 󱤂: sina moku ala moku? 󱥞󱦚󱤶󱦛󱤂󱦗󱤶󱦘? = are you eating?
- take a normal statement and append “anu seme?” “󱤇󱥙?” (or just “, anu?” “，󱤇?” in casual speech, like they do in German with “, oder?”): sina moku anu seme? 󱥞󱤶󱤇󱥙? = are you eating?
to answer any yes-or-no question, you respond with the thing that was questioned for yes, or the thing that was questioned followed by ala 󱤂 (or simply with 󱤂 ala) for no: 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. 󱥞󱥩󱦗󱥙󱦘?　//　󱤴󱥩󱦗󱤋󱦘󱦜 == where are you going? // I’m going to the store.
to say you like something, say [ijo] li pona tawa mi. [󱤌]󱤧󱥔󱥩󱦗󱤴󱦘󱦜

sina tawa esun anu tomo soma? 󱥞󱥩󱦗󱤋󱤇󱥭‍󱥡󱦘? = Are you going to the store or school?
ijo ni li tawa ona ala. 󱤌‍󱥁󱤧󱥩󱦗󱥆󱦛󱤂󱦜 = This thing is not for them.
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? =
