Notes
GENERAL INFO
"Quelle" means "which" or "what." It is a feminine singular interrogative or exclamatory adjective, always agreeing in gender and number with the noun it modifies.
USAGE
Use it before a noun to ask "Which...?" or "What...?" (e.g., "Quelle heure est-il?" - What time is it?). It also expresses exclamation: "Quelle surprise!" (What a surprise!)
TRAPS
Remember agreement! "Quel" (masculine singular), "Quels" (masculine plural), and "Quelles" (feminine plural) are its forms. Don't confuse it with "que" (a pronoun or conjunction, not an adjective).
