Meaning

A question word asking at what time something happens or happened, usually placed at the end of the question.

Good to know

Put it after the verb: uzoza ryari? (when will you come?). Do not confuse it with ryari meaning 'it was', the past of -ri for a noun like ijambo: ryari rikomeye.

Examples

  • Uzogaruka ryari i Bujumbura?When will you come back to Bujumbura?
  • Ubugeni bwanyu buzoba ryari?When will your wedding be?
  • Wamubonye ryari ubwa nyuma?When did you see him for the last time?
