Reading faces and voices, sentence 2

Signals can be mixed up: people cry when they are very happy, and some people hide their feelings, so the kind thing is to ask: «Are you okay?»

Who acts: people, kind thing, you · What happens: mix up, cry, be, hide · To what, where: Signals, feelings · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R7-rel-agree ×2, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
