Question Words: hol, hová, kinek, kivel

Hungarian question words carry the same case ending as the answer, so the answer tells you which one to use. The question word stands right before the verb.

• hol? where (Szegeden), hová/hova? where to (Görögországba), honnan? where from (a boltból)
• ki? / mi? who / what as the subject, kit? / mit? as the object (-t)
• kinek? to whom (-nak/-nek), kivel? / mivel? with whom / with what (-val/-vel), kiről? / miről? about whom / about what (-ról/-ről)
• mikor? when, meddig? until when (-ig), mióta? since when (óta)
• hány? how many + noun, hányan? how many people (answer: öten), mennyi? how much
• miért? why, milyen? what kind, melyik? which one

Use ki for people and mi for things: Kivel beszéltél? (Who did you talk to?)
