Who or whom #2 (permalink) Tue Nov 07, 2006 5:13 am   Who or whom
 

The answer is ''Who''. Who is the person doing the talking. (S)he is the subject of the sentence. Who is the word used for the subject.

You can say "Which guy is talking to her?" but the meaning of that question isn't the same as "Who is that guy talking to her?"
