Questions

Satu Kitan does not have a dedicated grammer for questions. To form a question, replace the item you want to ask about with "ha (ha) / what" or "ho (ho) / which".
Also, use "?" at the end of a question instead of ".".

= What do you learn?

If what you want to ask about is expressed as a verb, such as an action or state, replace the verb with "hosos(Hosos) / what do; how" You can attach suffixes to it like a regular verb.
