All of these are questions. Most interrogatory words in Kannada begin with the 'e' sound (e as in everywhere). Notice it in S2, LE and AK and N. If not 'e', it is 'yaa..' (yaaru). Note that these are distorted spoken forms, and the literary forms sound a lot different.
If you are a South Indian, or a North Indian who knows a South Indian language, you'll notice that interrogations across ALL South languages begin with the y- sound.
"Hey, gay" is sometimes used as "A, gay" - which makes it more in sync with the others.
There are some more interrogatory words - kab, kis, koyi.. will be back with keys for these in my next post.
