From the root: PUTO

Part of Speech: Verb

Explanation: This word is the second person singular present active indicative form of the verb 'puto', meaning 'to think' or 'to suppose'. The suffix '-ne' is an enclitic interrogative particle, which turns the statement into a question. It is used to ask a direct question, often expecting a 'yes' or 'no' answer, or simply to indicate that a question is being asked without implying a specific answer.
