From Lesson 195:Neuter relative pronouns (lo que)·Spanish (Latin America)

Questions & Answers about Lo que dices no tiene sentido.

Why do we use Lo que here instead of just Qué to say "what"?
In Spanish, qué with an accent mark is strictly a question word. When "what" isn't a question but instead means "the thing that" or "that which," you must use lo que. Here, Lo que dices literally translates to "The thing that you are saying."
What is the subject of the verb tiene in this sentence?
The subject is the entire phrase Lo que dices (What you say). Because lo que represents a single abstract idea, it acts like a singular "it." This is why the main verb tiene takes the third-person singular form.
The translation says "makes no sense." Why doesn't the Spanish sentence use the verb hacer (to make)?
In English, a statement makes sense, but in Spanish, a statement has sense. The correct expression is tener sentido. If you try to translate it literally as hace sentido, it will sound unnatural to most native speakers.
If I wanted to include the pronoun tú for emphasis, where would it go?
You would place it right between lo que and the verb. The sentence would become Lo que tú dices no tiene sentido.
