"Qual é o seu garfo?"

Translation: Which is your fork?

[Somatic]

"What is your fork?" (Another one for the ❤❤❤ file)

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

"Which is your fork?" is also accepted.

[Sr.Sacco]

Shouldn't this be translated, "Which is your fork?" or "Which one is your fork?" ?

[djeidot]

That is correct.

"what is your fork?"

I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that my fork is probably a fork

[ahnaf.diu]

Ha ha

You would think so, but reality catches up to even the most absurd

[ZackAllen007]

Does anyone know why "Which fork is yours?" is incorrect?

[djeidot]

That is also correct. But we'd rather say "Qual garfo é o seu?"

[barbaratorrance]

a fork is a fork nothing else

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

"Which is your fork?" is also accepted and is correct in English.

[reshma.v]

Is the o mandatory?

[djeidot]

In Brazilian Portuguese, "Qual é seu garfo?" is acceptable.

[lilbopit]

Can you also say ”qual e o garfo seu?”

[djeidot]

That sounds weird in Portuguese. Probably the equivalent of saying "What is fork your?" in English. In this context, I think "o seu" comes always together.

[satiah413661]

But why "o seu" and not just "seu"? Why the extra "o"?

[LinguistMan5]

Because we like to use articles much more than North Americans. Yes it's kinda weird, as to why, but that's just mandatory.

[LinguistMan5]

Yes it does sir!

[beraliv]

It's possible in Russian :D

[MAJMBlues]

I'm a little confused. I would have thought that it should be "Quais e o seu garfo?" and not "Qual". Is there a reason why qual is used and not quais?

[djeidot]

"Quais" is the plural of "Qual". An acceptable expression would be "Quais são os seus garfos?"

[MAJMBlues]

Obrigado! Agora, eu entendo

[hth2007]

why is it not: "is it your fork"?

[PHScanes]

You write "é o seu garfo?"
