That, plus... /Soj QaQ/ is the phrase "good food", while /QaQ Soj/ is the
sentence "The food is good."
/'ey Soj qar'a'?/ "The food is good, right?" This sounds like perhaps the
speaker already thinks the food is delicious and is asking if the other
agrees.
/'ey'a' Soj?/ "Is the food good?" This sounds like the speaker hasn't
tasted the food yet and is asking the other for his opinion before
attempting it himself.
