JMdict 1580640

In a sentence

あの人(ひと)that person誰(だれ)?who

Who is that person?

How it works

A bare casual question — no verb, no “is,” no question particle. あの (that) points to someone over there, fixing 人(ひと) (person), and the whole thing ends on 誰(だれ) (who) with rising intonation marked by the question mark. In friendly speech that rise alone does the work of a full “who is that?”
