Interrogative Particles: nōnne & num Questions in Latin Interrogative Particles: nōnne & num

Interrogative Particles Review: How does Latin express questions which expect a yes/no answer? By adding the enclitic –ne to the end of the first word of the sentence Latin has specific ways to ask questions that expect either a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ answer

Interrogative Particles 1: nōnne Questions expecting a ‘YES’ answer: Add nōnne to the beginning of the sentence nōnne = nōn + ne E.G.: Nōnne puella pulchra est? Isn’t the girl beautful? The girl is beautiful, isn’t she? Nōnne Germānōs ferōs gladiīs pugnābātis? Weren’t y’all fighting the savage Germans with swords? Y’all were fighting the savage Germans with swords, weren’t you?

Interrogative Particles 2: num Questions expecting a ‘NO’ answer: Add num to the beginning of the sentence num technically has no translation; it just indicates that the sentence is expecting a ‘no’ response E.G.: Num puella pulchra est? (Surely) the girl isn’t beautiful, is she? Num Germānōs ferōs gladiīs pugnābātis? (Surely) y’all weren’t fighting the savage Germans with swords, were you?

Answering Yes/No Questions Latin has no words for “yes” and “no” To answer a question in the affirmative (i.e. “yes”), restate the question as a sentence. Nōnne puella pulchra est? Puella pulchra est. To answer a question in the negative (i.e. “no”), restate the question as a sentence and negate the verb with nōn Num puella pulchra est? Puella pulchra nōn est.
