INTRODUCTION
Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has various ethnic groups, cultures, customs, habits, and regional languages in each region. Every region in Indonesia has its own regional language. Language is a symbol of sound between social, in the construction of a sound symbol that is produced by the human speech apparatus (Keraf, 2001;Sereno, 2014). This regional language is used in the daily life of the local community to communicate and socialize. One of the regional languages owned by the Indonesian people is the Batak Toba language. Batak Toba language is the language used by most of the people of North Sumatra, Indonesia. Batak Toba language be used as a tools of communication in society in everyday life.
English is an international language used to communicate around the world (globally). There are even some countries that make English the official language. English and the Batak Toba language have similarities and differences in many linguistic aspects. According to Huda (2018) "when it comes to language learning, the similarities and contrasts between two languages are crucial factors". The two languages' commonalities make it easier for students to learn the target language. Preferably, the differences between the two languages make it difficult for students to acquire the target language.
Contrastive analysis is a concept that is connected to this research. Contrastive analysis is a technique for describing how challenging or simple it is for language learners to pick up a second language and a foreign tongue (Gairon, 2018). Contrastive analysis (CA) is a technique for separating what a student of a target language (TL) should learn from what is not necessary (Selinker & Gass, 2008). Contrastive analysis is a technique used to compare the L1 and L2 structures in order to pinpoint the differences between the two languages (Khansir, 2012;Rasier & Hiligsmann, 2007). Based on the definition of contrastive analysis from some experts above, finally it can be said that contrastive analysis is a means of comparing or differentiating the source language to the target language and that every language has its own characteristics. The purpose of contrastive analysis is to describe various similarities and differences about linguistic objects contained in two or more different languages (Ke et al., 2019;Rasier & Hiligsmann, 2007). This is connected to Naibaho (1991) assertion that the main goals of contrastive analysis are to shed light on the similarities and differences between languages, explain and foresee issues that may arise when learning a second language, and create lesson plans for language instruction.
Question words, in the opinion of Aik and Hui (1999), are words that are employed to pose inquiries. In addition, query words are utilized to find out information concerning time, reason, manner, place, distance, or people (Azar, 1985). Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded that a question word is the word used to ask a question to get information or an answer about things, time, reason, manner, place, distance, or person.
English has a lot of question terms, including Where, When, Why, Who, Whom, What, Which, Whose, and How (Azar, 1985). Aik & Hui (1999) also provided an English definition of the question words, which included When, Where, Why, Who, Whom, Whose, How, What, and Which. When is used to ask about time, (When would they go to Bali?) Where is used to ask about place/position, (Where do you live now?) Why is used to ask about reason, (Why do you come here?) Who is used to ask person that can be as a subject or object, (Who is your girlfriend?) Whom is used to ask about specific individual, (Whom did you meet yesterday?) Whose is used to ask about ownership/possesion, (Whose mine is this pen?) How is used to ask about manner, quality/ammount, and condition, (How do you get there?) What is used to ask about something, (What time is it now?) Which is used to ask about specific item/choice, (Which dresses do you like the most?) (English Club, n.d.).
Question words in the Batak Toba language include "Aha", "Ise", "Andigan", "Nandigan", "Piga", "Sadia", "Dia", "Boasa", "Mahua", and "Marhua" Sibarani (1997):139. Siahaan (1975:25) adds that there are several other categories of Batak Toba question words, including "Aha", "Ise", "Dia", "Piga", "Sadia", "Beha", "Beasa", "Nandigan", and "Andigan". Based on the theories above, we can conclude that question words in Batak Toba are: "Aha" (what ), "Ise" (who), "Boha" (how), "Dia" (where/which), "Andigan" (when-future form), "Nandigan" (when-past form), "Piga" (how many), "Sadia" (how much), "Boasa" (why), "Mahua" (what happen), "Marhua" (what someone's doing). Siahaan (1975) stated that question word "aha" is used to make requests. You can use Aha to query both an object and a subject (Sibarani, 1997). From the theories above, it can be concluded that Aha is a question word that is used to ask about object and subject that can be things (animals, plants, etc) (Aha ma na boi tarbahen au?) Ise can be used as both a subject and an object in questions to people (Sibarani, 1997). Based on the theory above, it can be concluded that the question word Ise is used to ask person as subject and object. (Ise do na mangalap au?) According to Sibarani (1997) Boha is used to inquire about an adjective, condition, and way. Furthermore, Boha is used to inquire about condition, according to Siahaan (1975:25). Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded that the question word Boha is used to ask about condition. (Boha ma ta baen sonari?) Meanwhile, Dia is used to inquire about a location as well as individual people or things (Sibarani, 1997). Furthermore, Siahaan (1975:25) states that the question word Dia is used to ask for place. Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded that the question word Dia is employed to inquire about places and particular things. (Di dia ibana saonari?) Andigan is used to ask about time in the future. Furthermore, Siahaan (1975) says that Andigan is employed to pose questions regarding time in the future. Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded the question word Andigan is used to ask time in the future. (Andigan do ho tammat?) Moreover, when asking a question concerning the past, Nandingan is applied (Sibarani, 1997). Furthermore Siahaan (1975) says Nandigan used to ask for the time in the past time. Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded that the question word Nandingan is used to ask time but in the past time. (Nandingan ro halak i?) Question word Piga is a question word that asks how many of a countable noun there are (Sibarani, 1997). Furthermore, Siahaan (1975:25) explains that Piga used to inquire about quantity. Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded that the question word Piga is used to ask about quantity/ammount but only for countable noun. (Piga hari ma hamu i son singgah?) Sadia is the question word for uncountable noun quantities (Sibarani, 1997). Furthermore, Siahaan (1975) explains that Sadia is employed to inquire about quantity/amount. Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded that the question word Piga is used to ask about quantity or ammount but only for uncountable noun. (Sadia godang do i pamasuk ho sira tu arsik on?) Boasa/Beasa is a question word which is used to inquire as to why something is the way it is (reason) (Sibarani, 1997). Furthermore, Siahaan (1975) states Beasa is employed to ask for explanations about something (reason). Based on the two theories above, it can be concluded that the question word Boasa is used to ask for reasons of something that happen.

(Boasa tangis ho?)
Mahua is used to ask something or what happened to the subject (Sibarani, 1997). The subject can be a person or things. (Mahua pamangan mi, kak?). Meanwhile, Marhua is a question word that is used to ask what someone is doing. (Marhua ho ro tu inganan na?) (Tampubolon & Panggabean, 2020).
As a result of the problem described above, the purpose of this research is to determine the similarities and dissimilarities between the question words used in English and in the Toba Batak language.

RESEARCH METHOD
Descriptive qualitative research is used to complete this study. A descriptive qualitative method will describe the context of events or occurrences (Rukajat, 2018). According to Nimehchisalem (2018) by using a non-experimental approach or real-time recording, descriptive qualitative research creates data that naturally arises. The method of this research was qualitative research by using descriptive design. In this study, we used a qualitative descriptive method because this method involves describing and interpreting events, conditions, or situations.
The data source is obtained from the New Testament Scriptures in the Gospel of Matthew Chapters 1-28 and the Bibel which is also written in the Gospel of Matthew Chapters 1-28 (Mateus Bindu 1-28) in the Toba Batak language. The writer's reason for taking data from the Bible from the English and Batak Toba versions is that every question word is found in both the English and Toba Batak languages. Besides that, the Holy Scriptures have been translated into several languages and have been used officially by Christians. Therefore, it can be considered and assumed that the correct and perfect translation has been carried out in translating the Holy Scriptures in various languages, especially in the Batak Toba language as the target language in this study.
In this contrastive analysis research, similarities and differences in question words in English and Batak Toba will be found by distinguishing question words in the two languages. The following steps were followed to analyze the data: 1. Reading the Holy Bible Gospel of Matthew Chapters 1-28 and find out the question words. 2. Identifying and determining question words in English and Batak Toba language. 3. Comparing and separating the question words in both two languages. 4. Determining the similarities and differences between English and Batak Toba language.
