About
哪 functions as an interrogative pronoun or particle, formed with the mouth radical 口 on the left and the phonetic component 那 on the right. In older texts, 那 served as both a demonstrative meaning "that" and an interrogative. To distinguish the spoken, questioning function in writing, the mouth radical 口 was added, creating 哪 to mark its role in questions like "which" or "where". The right side provides the pronunciation, while the left side signals its semantic category as a word of inquiry.
