A question marker. Used always at the end of the sentence.
It means "too, also, either". Pay particular attention to the position of this adverb. It is located right after the subject, not at the end of the sentence. - DIFFERENCES WITH CHINESE
The short form of possessive pronouns, saying "I mother" instead of "my mother" is not used in MediaGlyphicMeasure words are not present in MG
There is no special negative particle to be used just for negating the verb "to have". The normal one is used.
