Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

"quoi" is used as an object in questions. It is complete by itself.
what do you want? => tu veux quoi ?
be careful. When using inversion, "quoi" becomes "que"
what do you want? => que-veux tu ?

"quel" qualifies a noun. It is not complete by itself. It's used for "what [thing]" or "which [thing]"
what/which car do you want? => quelle voiture tu veux ?
(quel/quelle/quels/quelles based on gender and number)

Thank you! What is inversion? When would you use it?

[short tiger]

inversion is a formal way of asking questions. Each question in French can be asked 3 ways:
"tu veux quoi ?" (intonation, informal)
"qu'est-ce que tu veux ?" (est-ce que, standard)
"que veux-tu ?" (inversion, formal)

it's called inversion because you're inverting subject and verb order
