| All | Ksia |
| None | Sia |
Be careful here. "
Ksia" and "
Sia" sound very similar, especially when said quickly. It's quite possible you'll hear (or need to use) "
Ksiasiaka?", which is a word used to ask if someone just said "
Ksia" or "
Sia". It's perfectly fine to interupt someone midsentence with this - they'll just answer and then continue with whatever they were saying. The answer to "
Ksiasiaka?" is either "
Ksia" (for "all") or "
Siaka" (for "none").
