Is this a full sentence: ¿Domó?

I'm wondering if this is a full sentence... ¿Domó? Domé. Does it mean "Is it tamed?", "Yes I tamed it". My FSI course seems to think that it's a complete sentence.

¿Dominó? It is said when someone wins at Dominoes.
It could also mean dominate. Does he dominate...
She dominated the situation. --- Ella dominó la situación.
El domó el caballo -- He tamed the horse. ¿Lo domó? --- Did he tame it?

No it's pretty clear that he is saying "¿Domó? Domé" "¿Dobló? Doblé" etc and indicating that they are full sentences. - jeezzle, Nov 9, 2009
I guess what I'm asking is can "¿Cantó?" by itself mean "Did he sing?" - jeezzle, Nov 9, 2009
It is clear, yes. - 0068e2f4, Nov 9, 2009
It conveys a message, an idea, I guess they are full sentences then. - 0068e2f4, Nov 9, 2009

¿Domó? as you've put it is a question and I believe "domó" would translate as "I tame" so it doesn't sound like a sentence to me but I could be wrong.

Domo is "I tame". Domó is "He/She/Usted tamed" - jeezzle, Nov 9, 2009
That darn accent gets me in trouble every time. - Yeser007, Nov 9, 2009

I don't think ¿Domó? by itself could be understood. Unlike, ¿Corrió?, ¿Dominó?, ¿Comió?, that can be used independently. I cannot think of any situation when ¿Domó? can be used.

What about if you wanted to know if a dog was tame, you couldn't say ¿Domó? - jeezzle, Nov 9, 2009
I'm thinking maybe it might be that domar is a (only) a transitive verb and needs an object. Where as correr and comer can be intransitive, and make sense without objects. - Valerie, Nov 9, 2009
That's what I mean. i think domar is an exception. ?Lo domé? ?Lo domó? are the only alternatives I can think of. - 0068e2f4, Nov 9, 2009
