You cannot use 'ke' (who) for location. 'Kothay' is the correct word for place.

Wrong: কে তুমি বাড়ি?
正确: তোমার বাড়ি কোথায়?

Using 'why' when you mean to ask a yes/no question. 'Ki' is used to turn a statement into a question.

Wrong: তুমি কেন ভালো?
正确: তুমি কি ভালো?

Ensure the subject is included before the question word for clarity.
