"a" meaning "to be" we don't have past tense or future tense yet by the way

The prefix P0-
If placed on a word, it makes the word past-tense.
The prefix Fu-
If placed on the word, it makes the word future-tense.
Ex:
Mi podano dank vimi.
I wanted to thank you.

I think the subject should come before the verb as a rule, to avoid more of those nasty exceptions.
So "woh vimi a?" even if it seems off in translation.

then Thank you is vimi dank...

No, that's "you thank."
The correct phrase is mi dank vimi.
In English, the "I" is implied.

I guess, but james already said thank you is dank vimi, maybe there should be an exception?

No! No exceptions! Just like rule 34!

Well, no exceptions would make life a hell of alot easier in forming this language!
Also, nice ideas with the past and future tences through using a pre-fix. It's both rewarding and satisfying to see the language beginning to come together now, although we are along way off completition it's nice to see simple sentances being strung together.
