								<title>Lesson 006 - Question Words</title>
								<itunes:subtitle>Today we&apos;re going to be learning some Shona question words and phrases. Ani, Chinyi, Kupi, Riinhi, Sei, Sei.  Who, What, Where, When, Why, How</itunes:subtitle>
								<itunes:summary><![CDATA[ 
    Today we&#8217;re going to be learning some Shona question words and phrases.
There are many ways of saying certain things in Shona; therefore you may hear multiple versions of the same words during your language-learning journey.  The good news is, once you know at least one way of saying something, you can use it to communicate to most Shona speakers.  This is the case with some of the question words and phrases we will learn today.  Let&#8217;s begin! 
Ani?  - Who 
Ndiani?  - Who is it? 
Ndiani anoda chikafu?  - Who wants some food? 
Chinyi? - What.  This is more commonly abbreviated “Chii?” - What 
Hune chinyi muBag mako?  - What do you have in your bag? 
Chii chiri mupoto?  - What&#8217;s in the pot? 
Kupi? - Where 
Mota irikupi? - Where is the car? 
Amai vaenda kupi?  - Where did mom go? 
Riinhi? - When 
Tichaenda riinhi?  - When will we go? 
Masvika riinhi?  - When did you arrive? 
Sei? - Why 
Sei urikudzidza Shona?  - Why are you learning Shona? 
Sei watora zvinhi zvangu?  - Why did you take my things? 
Sei? - How 
Notice that the questions &#8220;why&#8221; and &#8220;how&#8221; are both “sei” in Shona.  Its easy to determine which is being used, based on the context of the sentence and the position of the word “sei” in relation to the subject of the sentence.  Notice in the following examples that when the word &#8220;sei&#8221; is before the subject the question is &#8220;why.&#8221;  When &#8220;sei&#8221; comes after the subject, the question is &#8220;how?&#8221; 
Hwauya sei?  - How did you come? 
Sei wauya? - Why did you come? 
Mandiona Sei?  - How did you find me? 
Sei mandiona?  - Why did you find me? 
Tinofamba sei?  - How to we walk? 
Sei tafamba?  - Why did we walk? 
Below is a telephone conversation between 2 people. 
Person A - Hello? - Hello? 
Person B - Masikati Maswera sei? - Good afternoon, How have you spent the day? 
Person A – Ndaswera. Ndiani ari kutaura? - I&#8217;ve spent the day well.  Who is speaking? 
Person B - Ndi Rufaro - Its Rufaro 
Person A - Chii chendinga kuitire Rufaro - What can I do for you Rufaro? 
Person B - Ndiri kutsvaga imba yenyu. Irikupi? - I am looking for your house.  Where is it? 
Person A - Imba yedu iri pana Samora Machel Avenue.  Ko, sei urikuda kuuya kuno? - Our house is on Samora Machel Avenue.  Why do you want to come here? 
Person B - Nekuti ndine nzara - Because I&#8217;m hungry. 
Person A - Hucha svika riinhi? - When will you arrive? 
Person B - Ndicha svika na 5. Sei mabvunza? I will arrive at 5.  Why did you ask? 
Person A - Nekuti ndicha bika.  Because I&#8217;m going to cook. ]]></itunes:summary>
