"Adube vu iras?" ilu questionis. "Me iras a Paris." me respondis.

"Hastez!" klamis la portisto. "La treno departos sen vu."
On devas vendar la bilieti plu rapide! Me volus komprarjurnalo. Ube esas lajurnal-vendeyo? Ho no! Me perdabis mea monetuyo (purse)!

Relative Pronouns
Singular
la yunino QUA amoras me - the girl THAT (or WHO) loves me la hundo QUA atakis me - the dog THAT (or WHICH) attacked me Plural
la yunini QUI amoras me - the girls THAT (or WHO) love me la hundi QUI atakis me - the dogs THAT (or WHICH) attacked me
Note
Don't let the fact that there is more than one possibility in English confuse you. WHO and WHICH can both be replaced by THAT.
Take care not to confuse the relative pronouns with the interrogative pronouns. In questions QUO is used for WHAT
(things), and QUA and QUI for WHO (people). In statements, QUA and QUI are used for both WHO, WHICH, and THAT, may refer to people or things.
3. As the examples show, when THAT is one person or object then QUA is used, but when it is more than one then QUI must be used.
As with the interrogative pronouns, if the THAT is having the action done to it by someone or something in the second part of the sentence then an -N ending is added:
Singular
la yunino QUAN me amoras - the girl THAT (or WHOM) I love la hundo QUAN me atakis - the dog THAT (or WHICH) I attacked Plural
la yunini QUIN me amoras - the girls THAT (or WHOM) I love la hundi QUIN me atakis - the dogs THAT (or WHICH) I attacked In these sentences above, "I" is doing the action to "that".)
Note
In English it is very often possible to omit WHOM/THAT/WHICH: The girl (that) I love. "Quan" and "quin" must never be omitted in Ido.- La yunino QUAN me amoras....
There is also a conjunction "ke" which means "that". This is used for independent clauses, when the action in the first verb does not directly affect anyone or anything in the second part of the sentence: He says that he is ill - Ilu dicas "ke" ilu esas/es malada.
