Common Mistakes

You cannot use 'kaj' for people. Always use 'kdo' for humans.

Wrong: Kaj je to oseba?
Correct: Kdo je to?

Objects are not people; therefore, you must use 'kaj' instead of 'kdo'.

Wrong: Kdo je to miza?
Correct: Kaj je to?

You missed the verb 'je'. Questions in Slovenian usually need a verb.

Wrong: To kje?
Correct: Kaj je to?
