Kisa/sa
what
When “what” is functioning as a subject pronoun you add ki.
Kisa ki nan machin nan? What is in the car?
Kisa ki fè ou kontan? What makes you happy?
Kisa ki pase? What is happening?
When “what” functions largely as an interrogative you simply use kisa.
Kisa ou panse? What do you think?
Kisa ou ka fè? What can you do?
Often kisa is shortened to “sa” and kisa ki is shortened to “sa k”. So you may hear…..
Kisa ou vle? OR sa ou vle? What do you want?
Kisa ki genyen OR sa k genyen? What is going on?
