"Who" is a literal English equivalent of the Italian pronoun chi. The pronunciation of the word -- which is spelled the same as the Italian spelling of the 22nd letter in the Greek alphabet, chi (X, "kh-" sound) -- will be "kee."

"Who? Who?" is an English equivalent of the Italian phrase Chi? Chi?

Specifically, the word functions as an interrogative or relative pronoun. Its repetition culturally may be linked to a charming, funny joke about what the four repetitive phrases that academics, journalists and scientists have in common with children (What [che], where [dove], who [chi], why [perché]). The pronunciation will be "key key"* in Italian.

*The sound is similar to that in the English noun "key."
