maj. However, if one of the meanings given by the {-wI'} is "thing which does/is", then why not translate {ghelwI'} as "thing which asks"/"thing which is asking" i.e. a question ? qunnoq On Sep 5, 2017 15:48, "André Müller" <esperantist@gmail.com> wrote:
No. I would understand it as a person who is asking. I would also use it if I was talking about e.g. someone who asks a question after a conference talk.
But I've always been struggling a bit when in need for a word meaning 'question'. The best I could come up with is: {mu'tlhegh ghellu'bogh}, lit. 'sentence that someone asks'. Note that the plural of that would be {mu'tlheghmey lughellu'bogh} (though you could leave out the {-mey}). ;)
It's better to find another expression, perhaps only involving the verb {ghel} 'to ask'.

Would you accept the word {ghelwI'} for "question" ?
