#72: Where were the children?

Kei hea? I hea?
Where? — kei hea?
Questions follow a pattern where the question word is replaced by the answer. Ko wai asks who, he aha asks what, and kei hea asks where. The answer keeps the same structure: kei for present location and i for past location. Possessives or place names can specify the location.
