<p>There's the English equivalent "Is he mean or what?" or even "Is he mean enough?" if we really wanted to translate it as a question. But I see from this and your other ways of expressing the concept how it works. thanks </p>

<p>Surely "<span>Qu'est-ce qu'il est vachard !" is a statement and not a question.I don't see in what context it could be a question.</span></p>
<p><span>I think another way of saying this ("He is so mean!") is simply "Qu'il est vachard!" -and you could also say "Combien il est vachard!" (as well as I remember- but I think it would sound a bit affected).</span></p>

<p>Well, I believe there 2 things in your comments</p>
<p>Quel is used before a noun but in your above example it's not Quel but Qu'est (contraction of Que and verb ëtre) which has a différent meaning. Let's take some examples as follows :<span style="font-size: 13px;"> </span></p>
<p></p>
<p>Qu'est ce qu'il se passe ici ?- (What's going on here)</p>
<p>Qu'est ce que tu as fait hier ? (What did you do yesterday)</p>

<p>yes "qu'est ce qu'il est" is an exclamation, I think like "Wow, he is so"</p>
