Italian question words game
Eight words, the smallest set on the site, and between them they open most Italian questions. Perché is the one to watch: it is both why and because, so it answers its own question.

Eight words and all seven games, so a round takes a minute. Warp Run rewards knowing them cold, which is the point: a question word you have to stop and think about arrives too late to be useful.

Questions
Perché means both why and because?
Yes. Perché non vieni? is why are you not coming, and the answer can open perché sono stanco, because I am tired. Context does all the work, and Italians see nothing odd in it.
Cosa, che or che cosa?
All three mean what and all three are correct. Cosa is the most common in speech and the one in this set. Che cosa is the full form, and che alone is the shortest.
