Por Que Definition Without Answer
Por Que:
why?. por que. "Por que" is used in Spanish to ask "why?".

Example:

“¿Por qué?” means “Why?” in Spanish—when asking a question, it’s two words, with an accent on qué. Picture a curious little key opening every mystery: “What’s this key FOR?” → “FOR what?” → “WHY?” Since por can mean “for” and qué means “what,” think of ¿por qué? as your “for-what?” key to asking questions!
