کیست

kist

Le savais-tu ?

This is a direct descendant of the Old Persian 'kah-astiya' and the Avestan 'ka-asti', both meaning 'who is'.

Modèles grammaticaux

کیست is a combination of 'کی' (ki - who) and 'است' (ast - is). It is used as a question pronoun to ask about the identity of a person. کیست is typically used in formal or written Persian. In spoken Persian, 'کیه؟' (kiye?) is more common. When asking 'who is he/she/it?', 'او کیست؟' (o kist?) is used. 'او' can refer to a male, female, or an object (though less common with 'ki' which is for people). It is invariable, meaning it does not change based on gender or number.
