What is the difference of using CHE and QUALE
What is the difference of using CHE and QUALE?

Question

Answer

You can understand the difference from this fact:
In interrogative questions /che/ is an abbreviation of /che cosa/.
So usually we use /quale/ when selecting among a group of similar items,
and /che/ or /che cosa/, or /cosa/, when the selection is broader.
When /che/ is followed by a noun (example: ABC), then /che ABC/ and /quale ABC/
are equivalent, and we prefer /che ABC/
Usually ABC is 'tipo,genere' (kind)

Examples:

a1) Vorrei una penna. (entering a shop)
a2) Che tipo di penna?

b1) (showing a box with pens in it)  Quale penna le piace?

c1) (Entering the kitchen) Che vuoi mangiare?
c2) (opening the cupboard) Che tipo di biscotti vuoi?

d1) (showing books on a shelf) {Quale,quali} vuoi che ti presto?

Answer

Yes it is satisfactory for me. I understand that a more specific thing we can use quale whereas che is used for a less specific thing!
