the lo que together mean "which" or sometime "that". They are relative pronouns. see link below:

Answer 2

"lo que" instead of "qué" is normally used in the middle of a sentence I am told. Why I have no idea.

Have you done lesson 4.12? That one and the upcoming one are on relative pronouns (or relative clauses anyway). - 0074b507, Aug 31, 2009

Are you sure about the tilde one the qué? I'm always confused with como or cómo in the middle of the sentence when it translate as "how" rather than "as". - 0074b507, Aug 31, 2009

As far as I know the qué is used in interrogatives and exclamations only. - 0074b507, Aug 31, 2009

Right. No accent. here it's simply a relative pronoun (that which happened). - samdie, Aug 31, 2009

Answer 3

En Ingles seria : Do you know what has happened? Creo que la formacion de la frase en Español es distinta al Ingles, no podes frecuentemente traducir literalmente Susana
