More about Kiye

Kiye means who is it. It is ki (who) plus the ending -ye (is), built the same way as Chiye (what is it). Say it at the door, Kiye?, or point at a photo and say In kiye? The answers are the family lines Babam-e and Mamanam-e. It is taught in Module 4, lesson 2, in the lesson called Who is this?, together with In. The shape is the same as chi-ye, so if you have the question word for what, you already know most of this one.
