Questions & Answers about Quem é ela?
Why is the word order é ela (is she) instead of ela é (she is)?
In European Portuguese, when you start a question with a question word like Quem (Who), the verb comes right after it, before the subject. So we say Quem é ela? instead of Quem ela é?.
Does Quem change if we are asking about more than one person, like 'Who are they?'?
How do I pronounce the word Quem?
The letter 'm' at the end of a word in Portuguese tells you to nasalize the vowel before it. Quem sounds a bit like the English word 'came' or 'cane' but said through your nose, without fully closing your lips for the 'm' at the end.
