What does “who” mean?
who
Oh, this is a super common one!
"Who" is a word you use to ask about a person — like, you want to know someone's identity or name.
So if your friend says "I saw someone at the party last night," you might say "Oh really? Who?" Or like, "Who called you just now?" meaning — which person was it?
You also use "who" to talk about a specific person in a sentence, like "The girl who sits next to me is really funny" — here "who" connects the sentence back to that girl.
One more — "Who are you?" is asking about someone's identity, like you don't know them yet.
So basically, whenever you're talking or asking about a person, "who" is your word!
