Writing a Diary 13 (Did you?)

You don’t very often ask yourself questions in a diary – unless you are very introspective – but others will ask you questions in conversation. So here are some of our previous sentences and phrases converted into suitable questions. We will use the more formal form (which can be used for singular or plural), rather than the familiar form:
Did you ?  is a wrüssa whei ?
(Some people say wressa whei or wrüga whei)
Rag Pask a wrüssa whei debry oyow
Did you eat eggs for Easter?
Rag Pask a wrüssa whei kemeres oyow.        
Did you get eggs for Easter?
Rag Pask a wrüssa whei receva oyow.           
Did you receive eggs for Easter?
Rag Pask a wrüssa whei degemeres oyow. 
Did you receive eggs for Easter?
Rag Pask a wrüssa whei fanja oyow.
Did you receive eggs for Easter?
A wrüssa whei perna oyow moy?    
Did you buy more eggs?
A wrüssa whei desky neb tra?
Did you learn anything?
A wrüssa whei spendya neb tra?
Did you spend anything?

In conversation we often leave out the verbal particle <a> at the beginning.
Here are some more interrogative verb examples (without the particle)

Did you go?
Wrüssa whei moas?
Did you come?
Wrüssa whei doas?
Did you stay?
Wrüssa whei gòrtos?
Did you give?
Wrüssa whei rei?
