Usage notes edit
Like other interrogative and relative correlatives, kiel can be combined with ajn, the adverbial particle of generality. Kiel ajn thus means however.
Kiel cannot carry the meaning of as in the sense of as though or as if. Instead refer to kvazaŭ.

Etymology edit
From Arabic أَكَلَ (ʔakala). The expected basic form would be *ekel or *ikel. The initial vowel was deleted by analogy with the forms of the 1st and 2nd persons, where it had been lost by regular reduction of unstressed vowels. The remaining vowel was then lengthened by analogy with a hollow root. Lengthening also occurred in the imperative. Compare ħa (“to take”).
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
kiel (imperfect jiekol, past participle mikul)
- to eat
- It-tifel qed jiekol issa.
- The boy is eating now.
