Re: [Ladekwa] Lesson 3

I would say that it's not a yes/no question, but a yes/or question. The question is if there are _a lot of_ people in that building. So "a lot of" has the "ne".

I think it must be


Sya fawma se jwakomo gekune to zawtwa byefa jasi?
At least, is my sentence
correct?

The way yes/no questions are asked is with "tayne".  Why would you put "-ne" on "geku"?
