Certainly in some -- IIRC, Belorusan and/or Ukrainian has ці _tsi_,
with similar usage.

However, Russian does not have this word AFAIK. ли _li_ is used in
some questions, but the grammar is different (it comes after the verb,
I believe), and I'm not sure how to use it.

I don't know about Czech or other Slavic languages.
