Question

Kya= what will always be in second word in a sentence otherwise it just denotes a quesion - true?

Answer 1

Kya means What in English..

hope that help you

Answer 2

Good evening,

I thinkyou may not have the right generalization.

I would say rather that [kyaa] and other question words can be attached to the clause, or to the verb phrase, on the left or right periphery.

The difference in scope of the Q-word accounts for the meaning contrasts to which you refer.

E.g.:

tum kyaa [kaam karte ho]?

What work do you do?

kyaa [tum kaam karte ho]?

Do you work?

Notice the contrasts in the position of [kyaa], the parsing, and the corresponding readings.

Answer 3

kya=what

Answer 4

well kya is what in english as many have said....

if it is the only word in sentence there are two possiblities..

1) kya???-- what?? i did not get you...

this is a kind of question..

2)kya!!!!!-- what!!!(i cant believe it)

this is a kind of exclamation...

hope i helped...

Answer 5

Hindisikhnewaalaa is right when he says that even in second place kya could denote a question.

Further,  if placed first,  it could still make a statement (albeit a provocative one meriting further questioning)  

e.g. Kya kuchch nahin maine saha is zindagi mein!  (What all haven't I suffered in this life!)  Or  

Kya bataoon wahan kya hua! (What do I tell about all that  happened there!)  

More for Dramatic effect!
