Anyone speak Portuguese, please help me

[hoolahoolay]

I have someone (a patient) saying something that sounds like KIA in Portuguese, can anyone help please?

You could get an interpreter app on phone ?

Use google translate. My sil uses it with my aunt who only speaks English.

I've tried but I don't know how to spell the word.

My first guess would be that they’re either asking ‘what is it?’ or ‘who is it?’

Both of those could sound like kia.

But what’s the context?

I mean using the speech translator and it comes back out in English.

Edited to say she uses her mobile for this.

Yes this is what I meant too will allow the patient to speak into it and interpret

Just set my google translate app to Portuguese, said Kia, and it spelt it as "Que há" and translated it as What is there? or What is that?
Get them to speak into the app (set to conversation). I am a Spanish speaker, not Portuguese, the right accent will help! (:-)

Sounds like 'quem e' = who is it.
Or
Que e = where is it

My first guess would be "que?" = what?

Sounds like nobody is understanding

Kia sounds a bit like I want in Portuguese eu queria (k-ree-ah) or aki- here

Kia" in Portuguese translates to "What" or "What is" in English, depending on the context. If you can get hold of an relative they will hopefully speak English and Portuguese.

What are they saying after that - I live here in Porto- terrible portuguese but understand a fair bit - they are probably saying I want something or here ah-key(ah) they often add a ah on the end- are they Brazillian or European Portuguese as the accent end is very different

I would like
