"Beer?"
"Loo?"
"Wifi?"
Written with an extra character which indicates tone. English has the meaningless 'do' but even that can be done away with should you so choose.

There are some interesting comparisons to be made but comparing highly formalised english as though it's the only way to speak it is not how they should be made.
