Joys gives us some questions and answers on daily habits.
We know from the last section that questions such as Dè (what) ciamar (how), cò (who) cuin (who), and cia mheud (how many) use a special form of the future instead of bidh: bhios.
Dè bhios …?
What do ….. ?
Ciamar a bhios …?
How do ….?
Cò bhios … ?
Who does ….?
Cuin a bhios …. ?
When do …?
Cia mheud a bhios …?
How many do …?
Bhios is one of the instances you use tu instead of thu.
Ciamar a bhios tu …?
When do you….? / How will you… ?
Cò bhios tu… ?
Who do you ….? / Who will you… ?
Cuin a bhios tu …. ?
When do you…? / When will you… ?
As we’ve seen with the present and past tenses, tha and bha, Càit takes the direct Yes / No question after it: càit a bheil…, càit an robh…, so in the future: càit am bi.
Càit am bi …?
Where do … / Where will be …?
