* Question particles (''ha2im'' pronounced ''him'', ''ha-'' in more formal contexts) are usually retained. Questions don't have a different intonation from declarative sentences. Question marks are not usually used. Yes-no questions are usually answered by repeating the verb in the affirmative/negative. Present-tense copular questions (which have no verb), e.g. ''haim šomėr axixa ata?'' 'Are you your brother's keeper?' can be answered in the following ways (This is also true of sentences with a present tense verb):

** ''šomėr axi'' '(Yes, I am) my brother's keeper.' or ''lo šomėr axi'' '(No, I am) not my brother's keeper.'

** ''hin(e)ni'' '~~Indeed~~, I am.' or ''ėnéni/ėni'' 'I am not.'

** ''hin(e)ni'' 'Yes, I am.' or ''ėnéni/ėni'' 'I am not.'

** ''hėn'' 'indeed' or ''lo'' 'no' (the least common)

* It also prefers some coincidentally Gaelic-sounding words, e.g. אַךְ ''ach'' 'but' and שָׂשׂ ''sas'' 'happy' (sounding like Judeo-Gaelic ''ach'' 'but' and ''sostă'' 'satisfied') instead of the synonyms אֲבָל ''aval'' and שָׂמֵחַ ''samėax''. כה ''ko'' is as common as כל כך ''kol káx'' for 'so (ADJ)'.
