minus-squarenickwitha_k (he/him)@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoI know you already got it but a few others came to my mind: Finnish, which not a tonal language: Sinä pidät kahvista. (“You like coffee.”) Pidätkö kahvista? (“You like coffee?”) Japanese: Anata wa kōhī ga sukidesu. (“You like coffee.”) Kōhī wa sukidesu ka? (“You like coffee?”) I think you’ll find the pattern of question words/suffixes in nearly every language that is not explicitly tonal.
