معنی
To ask for the identity of the person you are talking to.
زمینه فرهنگی
Brazilians often use 'Com quem estou falando?' as a way to personalize the service. Once the name is given, they will use it frequently throughout the call. In Portugal, the gerund 'falando' is replaced by 'a falar'. The phrase becomes 'Com quem estou a falar?'. It is slightly more formal than the Brazilian version. Angolan Portuguese often blends formal structures with local rhythm. 'Com quem falo?' is common, often followed by 'por favor' or 'faz favor'. In high-end corporate environments, people might use 'Com quem tenho o prazer de falar?' (With whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?) to sound more sophisticated.
The 'Tô' Shortcut
In Brazil, almost everyone says 'tô' instead of 'estou' in casual conversation. 'Com quem tô falando?' sounds much more like a native.
Don't forget the 'Com'
English speakers often say 'Who am I talking to?'. If you translate this literally as 'Quem estou falando?', it sounds like you are asking 'Who am I saying?' which makes no sense.

4 سوالNo, it is the standard neutral way. For something more informal, you can use 'Quem fala?'.
You can, but it's a bit blunt. It's better for when someone knocks on your door.
Brazilian Portuguese favors the gerund to describe ongoing actions, making it feel more immediate and natural.
'Quem' is just 'who'. 'Com quem' is 'with whom'. Since you speak *with* someone, you need the 'com'.
