чӣ

чӣ: what

Ин чӣ маъно дорад?
What meaning does this have? (What does this mean?)
Ба шаҳр рав, ва дар он ҷо ба ту гуфта мешавад, ки чӣ бояд кунӣ.
Go to the city, and there you will be told what you must do.

Bonus:
When the word чӣ has anything attached at the end, the letter ӣ becomes и because you can’t have the letter ӣ in the middle of a word. Examples –
Номи шумо чист? (What is your name?) The words чӣ (what) and аст (is) combine to form чист.
Аз матн чиро фаҳмидед? (What did you understand from the text?) Here чӣ takes the direct object marker ро.
