¿quién te llama o quién está llamando tú?

Question

I was eating dinner with someone today when someone called them. Just because I felt like it, I tried to think of how to say "who is calling you?" in spanish

I just need clarification. My first instinct was to say "quién te llama." Es correcto en español? Si lo es correcto, es esto tambien? "Quién está llamando tú?"

Gracias

Answer 1

¿Quién te llamó? (Who called you?) or ¿Quién está llamando? (Who is calling?)

¿Quién te llama? is ok when they are still talking on the phone as it is the present tense.

"¿Quién te llama?" is correct, but you can't say "Si lo es correcto"; either you say "Lo es" or "Es correcto", but not both.

¿Quién te está llamando" is correct, but you can't say "tú" instead of "te", it would be like saying "I am calling she" instead of "her".

Ah, thanks lazarus, I was actually confused about tú and te when I was doing it, I'm glad you cleared that up for me. - Fredbong, Aug 18, 2009
