who do you think you are

well ...

i know the sentence "who do you think you are" is totally correct ...
but how about do you think who you are ?

grammatically and syntactically , both sentences are correct .
moreover , the meaning of both seems the same ...

so .... which one is better or correct ?
what is the difference between them ?

Who do you think you are? is fine. Do you think who you are?

— Ozzourti

  • Who do you think you are?
  • is fine.
  • Do you think who you are?
  • makes no sense to me, unless it's just the beginning of a longer question: Do you think who you are is affected by where you come from?

Sentences begin with a capital letter and end with some kind of stop. Questions end with a question mark.

There should not be a space before a comma, full stop or question mark.

The word "I" should always be capitalised, wherever it appears.

The sentence "Who do you think you are?" is correct.

I cannot think of any feasible meaning for the question
