ki(“who”) +‎-é(non-attributive possessive suffix)

• IPA^(key): [ˈkijeː]
• Hyphenation:kié
• Rhymes:-jeː

kié?

1. (interrogative)whose?

• Kié is only used predicatively (as a pronoun form), as opposed to being a determinant (in adjectival position). For the latter, seekinek [plural:kiknek]a/az …-a/-e/-ja/-je/-i/-ai/-ei/-jai/-jei?.
• Kié is only used in questions. For the relative pronoun, seeakié.
• Kié can only refer to human beings (and occasionally certain pets). Referring to objects (and the other animals), the normal way to ask is usingmi +-nek as a determiner, e.g.Ezminek a teteje? (‘What does this lid belong to?’, instead of a theoreticalmié).
• Kié can only refer to the possession of one single person. If the possession of several people is meant,kiké can be used, e.g.Kiké ez az iskola? – A helyi gyerekeké (‘To what people does this school belong? – To the local children.’). However, it is often rephrased with a determiner:Ezkiknek az iskolája?
• Strictly speaking,kié could only refer to one single possession, its plural equivalent beingkiéi. However, the latter may be perceived as overly pedantic even by renowned writers. One can usekié even in the plural sense, or opt forkiék instead,^[1] or one can rephase it with a determiner (see above), e.g.Ezekkinek a ruhái? (instead ofKiék/kiéi/kié ezek a ruhák?) for ‘Who do these garments belong to?’ or ‘Whose garments are these?’
