Well, my EXCLAMATION sentence type marker (!) does more than just indicate being aggravated. It can be used to indicate surprise, as in enari ro otu eke tu erika e name of you also is erika ! "Your name is erika too!" This counts as a different sentence-type from statement, because you're not stating information, you're expressing surprise at discovering information. It is also likely the marker that would be used in incomplete sentences, like yati e yes ! "yes" which probably don't count as statements because they're not full sentences. I'm still figuring this out, though, so it may change. Estel ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
