[wɪtʃ]
1. PRONOUN

1) (in direct and indirect questions, reported speech)

Which/which one/ which ones in direct and indirect questions and after expressions of (un)certainty and doubt (e.g. no sé) usually translate as cuál/cuáles: cuál
which do you want? — (offering one) ¿cuál quieres?; (offering two or more) ¿cuáles quieres?

I can't tell which is which — no sé cuál es cuál

which of you did it? — ¿cuál de vosotros lo hizo?

which of you is Kathleen? — ¿cuál de vosotras es Kathleen?

I don't know which to choose — no sé cuál escoger

tell me which you like best — dime cuáles te gustan más

I don't mind which — no me importa cuál

2) (relative)

a) (replacing noun)
In relative clauses where which defines the noun it refers to, you can usually translate it as que. Note that in this type of sentence which can be substituted by that in English: que
the letter which came this morning was from my niece — la carta que llegó esta mañana era de mi sobrina

it's an illness which causes nerve damage — es una enfermedad que daña los nervios

do you remember the house which we saw last week? — ¿te acuerdas de la casa que vimos la semana pasada?

the bear which I saw — el oso que vi
If [which] is the object of a preposition, you can either translate it as [que] (usually preceded by the definite article) or as article + [cual]/[cuales]. Use the second option particularly in formal language or after long prepositions or prepositional phrases:
your letter, which I received this morning, cheered me up — tu carta, que or more frm la cual he recibido esta mañana, me ha levantado el ánimo

the bull which I'm talking about — el toro del que or more frm del cual estoy hablando

the meeting which we attended — la reunión a la que or more frm a la cual asistimos

the hotel at which we stayed — el hotel en el que or more frm en el cual nos hospedamos

the cities to which we are going — las ciudades a las que or more frm a las cuales vamos

he explained the means by which we could achieve our objective — explicó los medios a través de los cuales podíamos alcanzar nuestro objetivo
If instead of defining the noun the [which] clause merely adds additional information, you can translate [which] using either [que] or article + [cual]/[cuales]:
the oak dining-table, which was a present from my father, seats 10 people comfortably — la mesa de roble, que or la cual fue un regalo de mi padre, admite cómodamente diez comensales

b) (replacing clause)
When which refers to the whole of a preceding sentence or idea, translate as lo que or lo cual:

it rained hard which upset her — llovió mucho, lo que or lo cual le disgustó

they left early, which my wife did not like at all — se marcharon pronto, lo cual or lo que no agradó nada a mi mujer
After a preposition only [lo cual] can be used:
• after which we went to bed — después de lo cual nos acostamos

• from which we deduce that... — de lo cual deducimos que...

2. ADJECTIVE

1) (in direct and indirect questions, reported speech)
When which is used as an interrogative adjective, translate using qué + noun when the possibilities are very open or cuál/cuáles de + article + plural noun when the possibilities are limited: qué
which house do you live in? — ¿en qué casa vives?

which day are they coming? — ¿qué día vienen?

I don't know which tie he wants — no sé qué corbata quiere

which picture do you prefer? — ¿qué cuadro prefieres?, ¿cuál de los cuadros prefieres?

which option do you prefer? — ¿cuál de las alternativas prefieres?

which way did she go? — ¿por dónde se fue?

• which one? — ¿cuál?

I don't know which one to choose — no sé cuál escoger

tell me which ones you like best — dime cuáles te gustan más

2) (relative)

look which way you will... — mires por donde mires...

he used "peradventure", which word is now archaic — frm dijo "peradventure", palabra que ha quedado ahora anticuada

• in which case — en cuyo caso

• he didn't get here till 10, by which time Jane had already left — no llegó hasta las 10 y para entonces Jane ya se había ido
