Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Master the basics of asking questions in Persian by placing question words naturally within your sentence structure.
- Use 'Ki' (کی) for people: 'Ki amad?' (Who came?)
- Use 'Chi' (چی) for objects/things: 'Chi khordi?' (What did you eat?)
- Use 'Koja' (کجا) for locations: 'Koja miri?' (Where are you going?)
Overview
Ki（谁）、Chi/Che（什么）、Kojā（哪里）、Key（什么时候）和 Cherā（为什么）。How This Grammar Works
To *chi* kharidi?（你*什么*买了？）。不需要像英语那样把疑问词提到前面。
Formation Pattern
Ali be sinemā miravad.（Ali 去电影院。）
be sinemā。
Ali *kojā* miravad?（Ali *哪里* 去？）
Ali *KOJĀ* mire?

Key
Kojā
Chi / Che
Cherā
When To Use It
- 发短信：
Kojāyi?（你在哪？）是经典用法。 - 社交媒体： 看到奇怪的帖子？评论
In chiye??（这是什么??）。 - 八卦：
Ki goft?（谁说的？） - 双面间谍：
Cherā意思是“为什么”，但如果有人问你否定问题如“你没吃吗？”，回答Cherā!意思是“不，我吃了！”。
Common Mistakes
Ki vs. Key 陷阱：Ki 是“谁”。Key 是“什么时候”。Ki= 谁Key= 什么时候
Kojā to hasti?。要说 To kojā hasti? 或者干脆说 Kojāyi?。Contrast With Similar Patterns
是/否问题：
只需在句末提高语调（To miyāy? - 你来吗？）。
Che vs. Chi：
Chi 通常替代名词：In chiye?（这是什么？）Che 通常作形容词：Che rangi?（什么颜色？）Quick FAQ
Kojā miri?（去哪？）比 To kojā miri? 自然得多。3. Question Word Usage

发音陷阱：Ki 还是 Key？
Ki 听起来像 Key，但意思是‘谁’。而波斯语的 Key 读音像英文的 Day，意思是‘什么时候’。记错的话，你可能会问出 Key unjāst?（那个人是什么时候？）这种怪话。神奇的 Cherā
Cherā!。它能把否定变成肯定的‘不，我喜欢！’。这在日常对话中非常地道。口语缩写更地道
Kojā ast 变成 Kojāst，Chi ast 变成 Chiye。听起来更像当地人，而不是新闻播报员。Smart Tips
Always check if you need the 'ra' marker.
Keep the question word close to the verb.
Use 'az' for origin.
Use 'che' instead of 'chi'.
