N4

②(Interrogative)か

Where/when/who/what...

About

The か particle can be combined with the words だれ, なに, どこ, いつ, and なぜ to express "who/what/where/when/why".

This is different from the Elementary grammar point ①(interrogative)か, which was used to express "someone/something/somewhere/sometime/for some reason". Since both of these meanings (e.g. "someone" and "who") are possible, the context of the sentence will inform the meaning of (interrogative)か.

Sometimes, か will become separated from the interrogative it attaches to, but it retains its meaning.

  • b

    Combine か with だれなに・どこ・いつ・なぜ to express "who/what/where/when/why"

    Sometimes other information in a sentence will come between か and the question word it attaches to
