I was quite confused by the examples for Solresol > Will you go to the countryside this year? - Fadoremi? > Will you go to the theatre tonight? - Soldoremi? I was very intrigued at how much meaning could be packed into such a short word, given only seven phonemes. Finally I found a dictionary and found that those words just mean "countryside" and "theater" respectively. |

These sentences were examples from the language creator's original book [1], and his initial idea was to use nouns as a way to ask a question, and then add a personal pronoun for an affirmative statement:
> Will you go to the theatre tonight? - Soldoremi? > I will go to the theatre tonight. - Soldoremi dore.
As far as I know, later it was changed by the followers and the Solresol grammar [2] tries to move away from this approach, e.g
> Dore fasifa ladofa fami ladosol (I want to read this book [3])
instead of
> Ladosol dore.
