"Whose road is it?"

Translation: De quem é a estrada?

[kcmurphy]

Is "a estrada é de quem?" acceptable or weird to native ears?

[fatisch]

De quem estrada é? Why didn't it accept my answer???

[Janpot]

You are talking about a specific road so I don't think it's not possible to leave out the definite article "a".

To see how strange it is without it, try taking "the" out of "to whom belongs the road?". In English the define article is "imbedded" in "whose".

OBRIGADO :)

Why not "cuja estrada é" ?

[Paulenrique]

"cuja" is used in subordinate clauses.

[Koritsaki]

Hmmm I tried Quem e o dono da estrada and it sounded good to me:-) \0/

[TDeNardo]

That would be "who is the owner of the road." Similar, but not what the question wanted unfortunately.
