who [Brit huː, hʊ, Am hu] PRON Who is translated by qui.
In questions qui on its own as the object of a verb requires inversion of the verb: who did he call? = qui a-t-il appelé? but qui followed by est-ce que or est-ce qui needs no inversion: qui est-ce qu'il a appelé? Note, however, that the form il a appelé qui? is also used in spoken French.
For particular usages see the entry below.
