      Not really. In my language subject and verb get switched around in a question. So you immediately know it’s a question when you start reading the sentence.

          Maybe

          • I do like cats
          • Do I like cats?

          but taken to the extreme?

          I know you already got it but a few others came to my mind:

          Finnish, which not a tonal language:

          • Sinä pidät kahvista. (“You like coffee.”)
          • Pidätkö kahvista? (“You like coffee?”)

          Japanese:

          • Anata wa kōhī ga sukidesu. (“You like coffee.”)
          • Kōhī wa sukidesu ka? (“You like coffee?”)

          I think you’ll find the pattern of question words/suffixes in nearly every language that is not explicitly tonal.

            Yeah that’s initially why I thought there was no difference to Spanish. But the difference is Spanish actually doesn’t have an option where you switch subject and verb. Didn’t know that :)

              Oh. Very good point. I did not know that either.
