Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word 'cuál' is a Spanish pronoun that translates to 'which' or 'what' in English. It is used to ask questions about choices or options.
Cuál can be used to inquire about a specific item or person from a group of possibilities. It is often followed by the verb 'ser' (to be) and the preposition 'de' (of). For example, '¿Cuál es tu color favorito?' means 'What is your favorite color?'
