In this lesson, we will explore the topic of wh-questions in the Fijian language. Wh-questions are an essential part of communication as they allow us to gather information and seek clarification. By learning how to form and use wh-questions, you will be able to engage in meaningful conversations and expand your language skills. Throughout this lesson, we will provide clear explanations, numerous examples, and engaging practice exercises to ensure your understanding and mastery of this topic.
=== Introduction to Wh-Questions ===
 
Wh-questions in Fijian, much like in English, allow you to gather more information about a subject. For example, if you want to know about someone's name, you would ask "Who?" If you're curious about an event, you might ask "What happened?"
 
In Fijian, these questions are not only crucial for conversation but also help you learn the language's structure and vocabulary. Let’s take a closer look at how to construct these questions.


== Introduction to Wh-Questions ==
=== Structure of Wh-Questions ===


Wh-questions are questions that begin with a wh-word, such as "who", "what", "where", "when", "why", or "how". These questions are used to request specific information about a person, thing, place, time, reason, or manner. Wh-questions require more than a simple yes or no answer, and they often elicit more detailed responses.
In Fijian, the structure of wh-questions generally follows this pattern:


Forming wh-questions in Fijian involves a few key elements. First, we need to use the appropriate wh-word at the beginning of the question. Then, we need to ensure that the sentence structure is correct by placing the wh-word in the appropriate position. Finally, we need to use the appropriate verb form to match the question being asked.
* '''Wh-Word + Subject + Verb + Object?'''


Throughout this lesson, we will examine each wh-word individually and provide examples of how to form wh-questions using different subjects, verbs, and objects. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of how to form and use wh-questions in Fijian.
Here are the wh-words we will focus on:


== Wh-Questions with "Who" ==
* '''Who''': '''O cei'''


Let's start by exploring how to form wh-questions using the wh-word "who". In Fijian, "who" is translated as "ko cei". To form a wh-question with "who", we follow this structure:
* '''What''': '''O ce'''


Wh-word ("ko cei") + Verb + Subject
* '''Where''': '''O cei?'''


Here are some examples:
* '''When''': '''O a?'''
 
* '''Why''': '''Na cava?'''
 
* '''How''': '''O cei na i?'''
 
=== Examples of Wh-Questions in Fijian ===
 
Let’s explore some examples to illustrate how these questions are formed in Fijian.


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Fijian !! Pronunciation !! English
! Fijian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ko cei na gone? || Ko they na gone? || Who is the child?
 
| O cei na yaca? || /o ˈcei na ˈjaːŋa/ || Who is your name?
 
|-
|-
| Ko cei na turaga? || Ko they na turanga? || Who is the chief?
 
| O ce na ka? || /o ˈθe na ˈka/ || What is that?
 
|-
|-
| Ko cei na kai Suva? || Ko they na kai Suva? || Who is from Suva?
|}


In these examples, we can see that the wh-word "ko cei" is placed at the beginning of the question, followed by the verb and subject. This structure allows us to ask specific questions about a person's identity, occupation, or place of origin.
| O cei na vale? || /o ˈcei na ˈvale/ || Where is the house?


== Wh-Questions with "What" ==
|-


Next, let's explore how to form wh-questions using the wh-word "what". In Fijian, "what" is translated as "ca". To form a wh-question with "what", we follow this structure:
| O a na gauna? || /o ˈa na ˈgau̯na/ || When is the time?


Wh-word ("ca") + Verb + Subject
|-


Here are some examples:
| Na cava na vuna? || /na ˈθava na ˈvuna/ || Why is the reason?


{| class="wikitable"
! Fijian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ca na nomu yaca? || Tha na nomu yatha? || What is your name?
 
| O cei na i? || /o ˈcei na ˈi/ || How is it?
 
|-
|-
| Ca na nodra kena? || Tha na nodra kena? || What is their job?
 
| O cei na turaga? || /o ˈcei na ˈtuɾaŋa/ || Who is the chief?
 
|-
|-
| Ca na nomu veitau ni sautu? || Tha na nomu veitau ni sautu? || What is your favorite color?
|}


In these examples, we can see that the wh-word "ca" is placed at the beginning of the question, followed by the verb and subject. This structure allows us to ask specific questions about a person's name, occupation, or preferences.
| O ce na ka ni kana? || /o ˈθe na ˈka ni ˈkana/ || What is the food?


== Wh-Questions with "Where" ==
|-


Now, let's learn how to form wh-questions using the wh-word "where". In Fijian, "where" is translated as "e dau vei?" or "e dau sa?" To form a wh-question with "where", we follow this structure:
| O cei na i vakataki? || /o ˈcei na ˈi vɑˈkɑtaki/ || Where is the example?


Wh-word ("e dau vei?" or "e dau sa?") + Verb + Subject
|-


Here are some examples:
| O a na vakacaca? || /o ˈa na ˈvakaca/ || When is it bright?


{| class="wikitable"
! Fijian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| E dau vei na koro? || E dau vei na koro? || Where is the village?
 
| Na cava na vuli? || /na ˈθava na ˈvuli/ || Why is the study?
 
|-
|-
| E dau sa na veikau? || E dau sa na veikau? || Where is the forest?
 
| O cei na nona i? || /o ˈcei na ˈnona ˈi/ || How is his/her (the person)?
 
|-
|-
| E dau vei na nodratou sautu? || E dau vei na nodratou sautu? || Where are their favorite colors?
|}


In these examples, we can see that the wh-word "e dau vei?" or "e dau sa?" is placed at the beginning of the question, followed by the verb and subject. This structure allows us to ask specific questions about the location of a place or the whereabouts of something or someone.
| O cei na gone? || /o ˈcei na ˈgone/ || Who is the child?


== Wh-Questions with "When" ==
|-


Moving on, let's explore how to form wh-questions using the wh-word "when". In Fijian, "when" is translated as "ni sa qai?" or "ni sa qai sara?" To form a wh-question with "when", we follow this structure:
| O ce na ka ni sa? || /o ˈθe na ˈka ni sa/ || What is that of?


Wh-word ("ni sa qai?" or "ni sa qai sara?") + Verb + Subject
|-


Here are some examples:
| O cei na vanua? || /o ˈcei na ˈvanua/ || Where is the land?


{| class="wikitable"
! Fijian !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ni sa qai na lako mai? || Ni sa qai na lako mai? || When did you come?
 
| O a na koro? || /o ˈa na ˈkoro/ || When is the village?
 
|-
|-
| Ni sa qai sara na veikoro? || Ni sa qai sara na veikoro? || When will the villages arrive?
 
| Na cava na veika? || /na ˈθava na ˈveika/ || Why is the thing?
 
|-
|-

| O cei na i yaca? || /o ˈcei na ˈi jaːŋa/ || How is the name?
 
|}
|}


In these examples, we can see that the wh-word "ni sa qai?" or "ni sa qai sara?" is placed at the beginning of the question, followed by the verb and subject. This structure allows us to ask specific questions about the timing or occurrence of an event or action.

* Where are you from?


== Wh-Questions with "How" ==

Lastly, let's explore how to form wh-questions using the wh-word "how". In Fijian, "how" is translated as "e dau vakarokoroko?" or "e dau vakarokorokotaki?" To form a wh-question with "how", we follow this structure:
* Why do you study Fijian?


Wh-word ("e dau vakarokoroko?" or "e dau vakarokorokotaki?") + Verb + Subject

|}


In these examples, we can see that the wh-word "e dau vakarokoroko?" or "e dau vakarokorokotaki?" is placed at the beginning of the question, followed by the verb and subject. This structure allows us to ask specific questions about the manner or method of doing something.
2. O cei na nomu vanua?


== Cultural Insights ==
3. O a na imatai?


In Fijian culture, asking questions is an important part of social interaction. It shows interest, curiosity, and a desire to engage with others. When asking wh-questions, it is essential to be respectful and considerate of the person you are speaking to. Fijians value politeness and may prefer indirect or subtle questioning styles. It is also common to use nonverbal cues, such as facial expressions and body language, to communicate questions.
4. Na cava o vuli Fijian?


Additionally, the usage and understanding of wh-questions may vary across different regions of Fiji. Local dialects and cultural practices can influence the preferred question forms and expressions. For example, in some regions, the wh-word "ko cei" may be replaced with "ko cei sa?" or "ko cei me?" to ask "who". Similarly, the wh-word "ca" can be replaced with "ca sa?" or "ca me?" to ask "what". These variations add richness to the language and highlight the diversity of the Fijian culture.
5. O cei na nomu qasenivuli?

Introduction to Wh-Questions[edit | edit source]

Wh-questions in Fijian, much like in English, allow you to gather more information about a subject. For example, if you want to know about someone's name, you would ask "Who?" If you're curious about an event, you might ask "What happened?"

In Fijian, these questions are not only crucial for conversation but also help you learn the language's structure and vocabulary. Let’s take a closer look at how to construct these questions.

Structure of Wh-Questions[edit | edit source]

Here are the wh-words we will focus on:

  • Who: O cei
  • What: O ce
  • Where: O cei?
  • When: O a?
  • Why: Na cava?
