In is the same preposition like in English, so it means "inside". However, in Italian we have determinate articles . articolo determinativo (definite article) lo: for masculine singular nouns beginning with z or s+consonant plural=gli il: for masculine singular nouns beginning with all other consonants plural=i l': for masculine singular nouns beginning with any vowel plural=gli la: for feminine singular nouns beginning with any consonant plural=le l': for feminine sigular, beginning with any vowel plural=le So, when we want to say in the .... we must do it in this way In + IL - NEL In + LA - NELLA In + i - NEI In + GLI - NEGLI IN + LE - NELLE I hope it is clear now. Let me know if there is anything else you don't understand. Have a nice day.

Nella = in la "In" è una preposizione semplice; combinata con l'articolo "la" diventa "nella", preposizione articolata. Le preposizioni articolate seguono le regole dell’articolo determinativo "il, lo, la" (plurale "i, gli, le"), per esempio, semplificando, si usano in riferimento a qualcuno o qualcosa già noto a chi legge o ascolta. Esempio: Le chiavi sono nella (in + la) mia borsa.

"Qual è" is the right Italian way to write it and not "Qual'è". :-)
