Well, there seems to be a bit of repetition here, and this won't be
very exciting as Géarthnuns doesn't mark verbs for person, but here
goes:

>Is this a window?
Chü hengeks la sü chívaks hönöi?
>Yes. This is a window.
Shau, chü hengeks la sü chîvaks nöi.
>Is that a table?
Chau helkers la sau kfashars hönöi?
>No. That is not a table. That is a bed.
Glé, vau helkems la fau kfashams nöi. Chí helkels la sí víls nöi. (This was a typo/mistake in Tutorial #1, please correct)
>who?
cheths
>this/that person
chau íalörs henger/hereçker/helker
>Who is it?
Che hereçkeths la cheths hönöi?
>It is John.

Cha hlekens la Katheríns nöi.
>Is he John?
Cha helkens la Íöhans hönöi?
