Usage notes
- Use quale before a noun: Quale libro? Alone, it works as a pronoun: Quale preferisci?
- Unlike che, quale is more specific when choosing among options. Che libro? is common; quale libro? stresses selection.
- Quale stays singular for both genders; plural is quali. Don't use *qualo or change it for masculine/feminine.
