When we want to ask the question, who are you writing to?’ we use cò (who, which) + thuige (gu + e), the masculine singular form.
Cò thuige a tha thu a’ sgrìobhadh?
To whom are you writing?
We can use cò (who, which) with other prepositions as well. You’re already very familiar with Cò às a tha thu? Cò is always followed directly by the prepositional pronoun (third person masculine form).
Cò ris a tha thu a’ bhruidhinn?
