Questions & Answers about ¿Cuál es el nombre de tu doctor?
Why does this sentence use Cuál instead of Qué for "What"?
In Spanish, we usually use cuál (which literally means "which") when asking for personal information like a name, phone number, or address. You are essentially asking "Which name out of all the names in the world is your doctor's?" Using qué before es is normally only used when asking for a definition, like "What is a doctor?"
Why is it el nombre de tu doctor instead of tu doctor's nombre?
Why doesn't the word tu have an accent mark over the "u"?
In Spanish, tu without an accent mark means "your" (as in tu doctor). If you add an accent mark, tú means the person "you". Since we are saying "your doctor" and not "you doctor", we use the version without the accent.
