Abstract
Some interrogative subject and object complement clauses are not treated as subordinate in Estonian interaction. They are interactionally profiled, as participants answer them as questions. Grammatically, they behave like independent clauses, displaying inversion and the turn-final question particle vä/ve. The main clauses considered in the chapter, ütle/öelge 'say!', räägi 'talk/tell!', ei tea 'not know', and uvitav 'interesting', instead function as (epistemic) particles projecting and designing questions in a sequentially and interpersonally sensitive way.
