1. Who is translated as "men".
         Some Tigre speaking people pronounce "men" as "mn".
         But both "men" and "mn" are equally correct, and equally used.
	 But, for the sake of consistency we will use "men".

Examples  15.1:
         men tu abuka ?/abuka men tu?   Who is your father?
         ela men beleya?                Who said this ?
         leseladi men habeka ta?  	Who gave you the money?
         leseladi mn habeki ta?  	Who gave you (f) the money?

             [ Remember le is the definite article "the"]

       2.  men is not gender specific.

Examples  15.2:

        men tu abuka?           	Who is your father ?
        men ta emka?            	Who is your mother ?
        ela men wedeya?         	Who did this(f) ?
        eli men wedeyu?         	Who did this(m) ?
        ri'is nay iritriya men tu?      Who is the president of Eritrea?
        men asa'leka?           	Who told you ?
        ela ende twede men re'eka?    	Who saw you while (you) this?
