Qué son ellas

Question

Me pregunto si esta frase es correcta.

¿Qué son ellas? --- ("Which ones [flavours, types] are those?)

Hablábamos en cuanto de empanadas (feminina).

Gracias,

Tim

P.S. Como siempre, agradezco sus correcciones.

Answer 1

If you are asking what they are made of or what's inside, I'd say...

¿De qué son ellas?

Answer 2

This is another "iguanas in the roof" question. Common English usage let's you get away with asking an incomplete question or making an incomplete statement but this is much less common in Spanish.

As Mariana says, you appear to be asking, not "what are they" (answer = empanandas) but "what flavor are they?" or "what's in them?". So ask it a tad more fully and you'll get the answer.

Oops "empanandas" indeed; well you know that I meant "empanadas". - geofc, Nov 12, 2012
