<p>This is a question regarding "indirect questions" and whether you
can use question-as-object format for things like this.
Personally, I like it, but I'm distinctly in the minority here.
People tend to rephrase, though not clear how easy it is to
rephrase when the question is a truth-value so you can't say
"yIngu'".</p>

are expressed by suffixes.</div>
