I'm curious to see everyone's answers to the following questions: 1. Does your language(s) distinguish between active ("X breaks Y"), middle ("X breaks (apart)"), and passive ("X is broken (by Y)")? 2. If the answer to #1 was "yes," what method(s) does your language(s) use to make some/all of the above distinctions? 3. What method(s) does your language(s) use to distinguish between basic nouns and verbs of the same root (i.e. "a hit" vs. "he hits")? - Rob
