<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
<p>So if I understand you correctly we use "qu'est-ce que" with a noun only when you want the definition of that noun but you would use "quel est+noun" for basically everything else: when you 1) want a one word answer, i.e "quelle est votre boisonn preferé?" 2) the noun that follows represents a choice among others, i.e "quelle chemise vous voulez? (parmi celles-ci)" or 3) you would like a detailed explanation, i.e "quelle est la role de la religion dans la…</p>

<p>Hello,</p>
<p></p>
<p> "qu'est ce que ..." may be used for more questions than "quel est...".</p>
<p></p>
<p>"Quel est..." is formal and informal, It is used in oral language too. it's the right way to ask "quel est la réponse ?".</p>
<p></p>
<p>"What is the answer ?" yes I translate that by "quelle est la réponse ?" </p>
<p>But not by "Qu'est ce que la réponse ?" this way is wrong to mean "quel est". Qu'est-ce que + just a common name as "qu'est-ce que la réponse ?" may be used to mean…</p>
<p>Hello,</p>

<p></p>
<p>"What is the answer ?" yes I translate that by "quelle est la réponse ?" </p>
<p>But not by "Qu'est ce que la réponse ?" this way is wrong to mean "quel est". Qu'est-ce que + just a common name as "qu'est-ce que la réponse ?" may be used to mean "what does the word "réponse" mean ?" and this is formal.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"Qu'est ce que c'est la réponse ?" may be used in oral language with the tone that cut the sentence like "qu'est ce que c'est ? (la réponse) ?</p>
<p></p>
<p>"Qu'est-ce que c'est que la réponse ?" : not used like that.</p>
<p>"Qu'est ce que c'est que cette réponse ?" is used but have another meaning. "Quelle est la réponse ?" = you ask a question and you want to know the answer. "Qu'est-ce que c'est que cette réponse ?" = you ask a question, I answer and you are surprised by the answer and want to know why I answer that.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You have another informal and oral way : "c'est quoi la réponse ?"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>and "qu'est ce que" "qu'est-ce que c'est" "qu'est-ce que c'est que" are used in expressions.</p> We have been very quiet on…tag:www.forum.french-linguistics.co.uk,2017-11-25:3179028:Comment:1290002017-11-25T01:51:20.428ZGeorge Hunthttp://www.forum.french-linguistics.co.uk/profile/GEORDIEHOUND
