Hi.
The -'a' Type 9 interrogative verb suffix is only used with the sort of closed questions which require an answer like "yes" or "no."
For open questions such as when?, where?, who?, what?, how? and, particularly, why?, just use the question word qatlh in front of your sentence.
So the correct phrasing of the question is {qatlh bISaQ}. bISaQ'a' would be Are you crying?
