This lesson is part of the Beginner Chamorro learning path.

“What?” is one of the quickest ways we gather information—What are you doing? What did you buy? What are you going to make? In this lesson, we’ll start learning Chamorro patterns for asking “what” questions with the word håfa (“what”). You’ll practice clear sentence patterns for using the question word “what” and how these patterns shift when talking about past, present and future actions. As always, this post includes Chamorro sentence drills, English translations and Chamorro audio narrations by Jay Che’le to support your learning. Happy studying!
