how to say (who)in espanol

Question

how to say who in espanol

Answer 1

¿Quién? - You use this form when it is an interrogative. Who ate the cake? ¿Quién comió el pastel?

Quien - You use this form when it is not an interrogative. Gane quien gane, va a ser un partido memorable. Whoever wins, it will be an unforgettable match.

Ultimately, it depends on the context whether you use the accent form or the not accent form...but both mean "who/whom" in English!

"Quienes" is the plural form..."The girls, with whom I am on the team, are smart. Las chicas, con quienes estoy en el equipo, son inteligentes.**

Quien: correct usage vs. incorrect usage Examples used were found here

When the relative pronoun occurs after a preposition and refers to a person, "quien" must be used. After a preposition, "que" is only used to refer to things.

Los chicos, con quienes fuimos a la playa, son nuestros amigos. The boys, with whom we went to the beach, are our friends.

El libro en que pienso es extenso, no es corto. The book I'm thinking of is long, not short.

Answer 2

who

A related usage with using quien after prepositions when serving as a relative pronoun is that the que (no preposition) can also have the meaning of who.

the people who came yesterday -> las personas que vinieron ayer

(que translated as who when referring to people rather than "that", even though, that is not incorrect.)

Answer 3

Quien.
