Pronoun Interrogative
=====================
Summary
-------
The interrogative pronoun shows that a sentence is a question.
Article
-------
Interrogative means "having the force of a question", so an
interrogative pronoun is a word that signals that someone is asking a
question. Two of the most common ones (מִי and מָה) are identical to the
:ref:`pronoun_indefinite`,
in which case the context has to make clear which one it is.
Form
----
Interrogative pronouns do not change their form based on number, gender,
or person. Their vowels can change a little bit based on with which
sound the next word begins.
Asking for a person (מִי)
