Questions
What?
Sometimes you want to ask a question that doesn’t have a simple sim or não answer.
O que você cozinha?
What do you cook?
You can also move o que to the end of the question.
Ela cozinha o quê?
What does she cook?
Protip: When quê comes at the end of a question, it gets a little mark above the e.

In Portuguese, qu makes a k sound when it comes before e and i, like the c in cap.
que
quem, que
But the Portuguese qu sounds like qu in queen before any other letter.
quando
quanto, qual, quando
