Hi,

Is the word "among" used correctly in the sentence below?

Who among of your colleagues sold a condo unit?


Many thanks.

You don't need "of".

Who among your colleagues sold a condo [unit]?

Thanks so much...

What do you mean by enclosing the word "unit" with brakets? And how could we say this sentence in other way with the same meaning?

Thanks you so much again in advance.

Admittedly, we don't use the word "condo" in BrE, I believe it's a specifically AmE phrase, but I don't think that the word unit is required. I believe that it's simply referred to as "a condo". I'm sure an AmE speaker will confirm/deny.

You could say: Which of your colleagues sold a condo?
Of your colleagues, who sold a condo?
Did any of your colleagues sell a condo? If so, who was it?

Confirmed, condo without unit. :up:

Also, Condo implies owned and Apartment implies rented.
(Note: Canadian English, which is basically American minus a few insanities)
