    .I feel like this analogy doesn’t entirely work because you always know where the question starts, as that’s where the sentence startS.

    Not always. For example (translated):

    And you, ¿how are you?

      You could write that as “And you? How are you?” so both parts of that sentence are still a question.

      However there are other examples where you’re right: “,That’s not going to happen, ¿or is it?”

        I feel like the first example in your comment implies a different intonation than it’s equivalent in PooloverNathan’s comment. Also I feel the need to admit that I first read ¿)Nathan’s(? username as “Pool-over” as in “pull over”…
