Asking Who

Level 1

Cé asks who, as in Cé thusa? and Cé atá anseo? The rest of the question depends on whether it identifies someone or asks about a clause.

How It Works

Cé asks who, as in Cé thusa? and Cé atá anseo? The rest of the question depends on whether it identifies someone or asks about a clause.

Cé can ask for identity or for the person involved in an action. Cé thusa? is an identification question; Cé atá anseo? contains a relative clause with atá. Choose the rest of the question by its intended relationship rather than inserting cé before any statement unchanged.
