The word "Puas" placed before the verb makes a statement into a question, typically after the noun (or the adjective after a noun, if exists). Ex. If I were to say that you like something I would say - Koj nyiam.....But if I instead want to ASK if you like something I would ask - Koj PUAS nyiam......?

Additional Comments:

*This word is commonly used after an adjective, like for example the word 'good', to make it the most of something. In the case of the above adjective, 'good' it would turn a short statement like Kuv yog zoo (I am good) to Kuv yog zoo tshaj plaws! (I am the best). Or for another example, Kuv nkees (I'm tired) to Kuv nkees tshaj plaws (I'm the most tired)
