"Bony azantys issa?"

Translation: Is that one a knight?

[serena44699]

I think I’m missing the difference between Bony and Kony. Can someone help?

[-Bluebird-]

Bony is for people. Kony is for other objects. It’s like the difference between “it” and “he/she.”

His armor is so badly made that it's too hard to tell.

How can you tell it's "Is that one a knight"? I put "That is a knight?" and it was marked wrong. Should it be correct?

[MadLatinist]

Hmm, did you report the sentence? Most likely we just didn't think to include that translation (I don't think we generally thought to include uninverted questions). Ultimately the decision is dedalvs's.

[OliverBens1]

I think I did. I guess with sentences like these it just makes sense to use the right translation. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

I think that both should technically be correct without the context that previous sentences would have most likely provided.

In English, "Is that one a knight?" is in the proper sentence structure for an interrogative sentence.

"That is a knight?" seems more colloquial in context and functions more like an exclamatory sentence, where an interrogative sentence is spoken with added emphasis.

i.e., [?] + (emphasis) => [?!]
