Interrogatives

Interrogative pronouns are usually placed before the verb. The pronoun ག་རེ་ means both “what” and “which,” and corresponds to the literary forms ཅི་ and གང་ (it is in fact derived from the latter). The interrogative pronouns ག་རེ་ “what” and སུ་ “who” may be doubled (ག་རེ་ག་རེ་, སུ་སུ་) to elicit an enumeration in the reply or to mean “what types of…?” or “what kinds of…?”
