What am I to do?
Fari covers both "to do" and "to make", and like havi it is transitive, so its object carries -n: kion vi faras? Swap the ending for the volitive -u and you get a deliberation, so kion mi faru? is "what am I to do?". The same root gives fari臐i, "to become", once the -i臐- affix is added.
