Questions & Answers about Què suposes?
Why is it què with an accent?
Because què is an interrogative word here, meaning what?
The accent helps distinguish it from que, which usually means that, which, or introduces a clause.
- Què suposes? = What do you suppose?
- Suposo que sí. = I suppose that yes / I suppose so.
In questions, què often keeps the accent when it stands on its own or introduces a question.
Why isn’t there a separate word for do, like in English What do you suppose?
Catalan does not use a helper verb like English do in this kind of question.
English:
- What do you suppose?
Catalan:
- Què suposes?
The verb suposes already carries the meaning you suppose, so no extra word is needed.
