What: Pe, Petra
You will notice there are two ways of saying "what" in Breton: pe and petra.
They're all translated as "what" or "which" in English, but are they are put together with different words.
- Pe only goes with a noun:
- Pe gador ? Which/What chair?
- Petra' only goes with verbs:
- Petra emaoc'h o'ch ober ? What are you doing?
- Some questions
- Petra eo hemañ ? What is this?
- Petra eo hennezh ? What is that?
- Pe anv oc'h ? What is your name? (lit. What name are you?)
- Pe hini ? Which one?
