“How many?” or “How much?” is \{ °kyi-hau°?}/ (幾化). Thus \{ °kyi-hau° nyung le?}/ (幾化人來) means “How many men came?” \{ °Kyi-hau° °s}/ (幾化水) means “How much water?”
\{ °Kyi}/ is often used without the \{ hau°}/. In such cases it is followed by the classifier of the noun. Thus “How many men came?” might be \{ °kyi kuh nyung le?}/ (幾個人來). “How many horses have you?” \{ noong° °yeu °kyi tsak °mo?}/ (儂有幾隻馬).
“Where?” is \{ °‘a-°li}/ (那裏). Thus “Where are you going?” is \{ noong° tau° °‘a- °li chi°?}/ (儂到那裏去). “Where are you?” is \{ noong° la°-°‘a-°li?}/ (濃拉那裏).
\{ Sa°}/ meaning “what” with \{ di°-faung}/ meaning “place” also expresses “Where?” Thus \{ sa° di°-faung?}/ (啥地方). We also have \{ sa° dzang-hau°?}/ (啥塲化) meaning “What place?” or “Where?” but this refers to a more circumscribed area than \{ di°- faung}/. We also have \{ sa° °‘oo-daung°}/ (啥戸蕩) used much in the same way as \{ sa° dzang-hau°}/.
