omo_to_dun: @ topic

That is not true. In English, for example, one may say, "Joshua gave the book to Tom," as a statement and also ask "Joshua gave the book to Tom?" as a way of confirming an assumption.

The difference is always in the tone of the sentence.
if i say "did joshua gave the book to tom?" am i correct?

This could be applicable to some languages, not only Pidgin. It all depends on the tone...

I think kslib deserves an award for having the highest number of likes per comment on nairaland this year or am I wrong? Or is it possible for a user to like a post more than once? I've not seen up to 106 likes per comment so far.

cr8v: Don't agree, its almost in all languages I know. In colloquial English, if you ask, "Mum at Home?" The answer could be "Mum, at home". It depends on where you paused and the physical gesture that accompanied your response

true.

the same can be said about patois. tongue

question: him dey ya? (is he here?)

answer: him dey ya. (he's here)
