how much is zenkapo

zenkapo = how much (adverb, interrogative) (some things Google found for "zenkapo": a very rare term; user names; "Zenk APO" can refer to someone named Zenk at a APO (Army Post Office) address)

Word derivation for "how much" :
Basque = zenbat, Finnish = kuinka paljon (or paljonko)
Miresua = zenkapo

This is the word asking what is the cost/price, what quantity. For quantity, it's used with uncountable nouns.

how many is zenkota

zenkota = how many (adverb, interrogative) (some things Google found for "zenkota": a rare term; user names; Zen Kota can refer to Maruti Zen hatchback compact SUV cars for sale in the city of Kota in India; similar Zen Kot is a health cafe in Brussels (Bruxelles), Belgium)

Word derivation for "how many" :
Basque = zenbat, Finnish = kuinka monta (or montako)
Miresua = zenkota

There are countable and uncountable nouns in both Finnish and Basque. In English, how many is used with countable nouns, while how much is used with uncountable nouns. Finnish has different terms for how many and how much, but Basque uses the same word. That figures. For Miresua, guess I'll make another word for how much.

how is mino

mino = how (adverb, interrogative) (some things Google found for "mino": a very common term; a last name; Flip video Mino tapeless camcorders; an unusual usually masculine first name; Mino Salon in Los Angeles; a genus of myna birds; Amazon warriors of the former kingdom of Dahomey in west Africa; name of places, an old province, and former districts in Japan; name of places in Chile, New Zealand, South Korea, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines)

Word derivation for "how" :
Basque = nola, Finnish = miten
Miresua = mino

This is the word for how, in what manner, in what state. Not how many or how much.

There's another word for how in Finnish, kuinka. It appears to be a more formal term. It'll be used for making the word for how many.

who is kor

kor = who (pronoun, interrogative) (some things Google found for "kor": a very common term; KOR Water personal hydration products; a last name; name of a Klingon character in the Star Trek universe; in the Magic: the Gathering card game a fantasy race of humanoids; Kor Hotel Group; an ancient Hebrew and unit of capacity; a fictitious African lost city in H. Rider Haggard's classic novel She; means wax in Cornish; means choir in Danish; means age in Hungarian; means ember in Turkish; name of places in Nigeria, Chad, Iran, Laos, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea and Turkey)

Word derivation for "who" :
Basque = nor, Finnish = kuka
Miresua = kor

I'll define this word as who, see if it sticks. If I run into any grammar concerns later, I can always change it.

By the way, I added in the derivation for the previous word, whence. I simply forgot to put it in.

whence (where from) is nosti (revisited)

nosti = whence (where from) (interrogative, adverb) (some things Google found for "nosti": an uncommon term; a last name; means "raised, elevated" in Finnish; similar nostri means "us, our people" in Latin; in Russian (transliterated) "real'nosti" means reality)

Word derivation for "whence (from where)" :
Basque = nondik, Finnish = mistä
Miresua = nosti

My previous word for whence was nontä. This is another change for grammatical reasons.

The Basque word appears to be ablative case, and the Finnish word is elative case. Both are grammatical cases meaning motion from something. I don't think Basque has elative case.

Tentatively I'll make -sti the elative case (out of, from) ending in Miresua.

The Miresua word for whither (where to), norne, will remain unchanged, at least for now.

where is nonäs (revisited)

nonäs = where (interrogative, adverb) (some things Google found for "nonas": an uncommon term; a misspelling of Nona's where Nona is a feminine first name; a unusual last name; in Latin accusative feminine plural of ninth)

Word derivation for "where (static)" :
Basque = non, Finnish = missä
Miresua = nonäs

My previous word for where was nosä, which unfortunately tended to make me think of nose. But I'm changing it mainly for grammatical reasons.

The Basque and the Finnish words are both in what's termed inessive case, a locative grammatical case with the basic meaning of "in". Usage is, for example: "in where" is the girl? As opposed to "to where" (whither) or "from where" (whence).

Guess this makes my inessive case suffix in Miresua -näs.

when is moin

moin = when (interrogative, adverb) (some things Google found for "moin": a very common term; a last name; a uncommon masculine first name that can be Muslim; Moin is an Iranian singer; MoinMoin is a wiki engine; a Frisian and Low German greeting meaning hello; Moin Hardware sells table slides; Moin is a serpent in Norse mythology; name of places in Costa Rica and Macedonia; Moin Kili is a place in Pakistan; Moin Searlas is a place in Donegal, Ireland)

Word derivation for "when" :
Basque = noiz, Finnish = milloin
Miresua = moin

Hey, it's a word that isn't for a food! Unlike my Miresua conlang posts for the past month or so.

what is zemi

zemi = what (interrogative, pronoun) (some things Google found for "zemi": a very common term; Zemi or Cemi are small idols of various local deities once worshipped by the Caribbean Taino peoples; Zemi Restaurant for Asian Fusion food in NYC; Hen Zemi (or Hen Semi) (aka Abnormal Physiology Seminar) is a Japanese comedy manga and anime; in Japan a zemi is a seminar course of around ten university students for studying and researching a topic; abura zemi is the Japanese cicada; a rare last name; Zemi Beach is located on the Caribbean island of Anguilla)

Word derivation for "what" :
Basque = zer, Finnish = mikä or mitä
Miresua = zemi

What! I had no word for what? What can I say?

This word is from the paragraph that I'm working on. Saying that I'm translating this paragraph would be a bit of an overstatement. It's a bit of challenge.

whither (where to) is norne

norne = whither (where to) (adverb) (some things Google found for "norne": an uncommon term; an oil field located in the Norwegian Sea; a Norwegian merchant ship sunk with casualties by a torpedo in 1940; a last name which can be from the Orkney Islands of Scotland; a rare feminine first name)

Word derivation for "whither" (where to) :
Basque = nora, Finnish = minne
Miresua = norne

I know that whither is an archaic English word, one that people don't use nowadays, but it best explains the meaning of this Miresua word. Whither can ask the question of where to or to what place.
