OVERVIEW:
========

RULE:
====
The Hebrew word >KI< primarily means >BECAUSE<. A famous
midrash says >KI< has 4 meanings.

However we who speak English must use caution.
I have counted at least 6 English translations.
By completing this unit the reader will become proficient
in how >KI< is used and will be able to apply these
translations to new verses.

TODAYS UNIT
===========
In todays unit we show that >KI< can simply indicate
a >QUESTION<. To indicate a question we use the
form >HCI<.
