1. PRONOUN1) (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: cuálwhich do you want? — (offering one) ¿cuál quieres?; (offering two or more) ¿cuáles quieres?
which of you did it? — ¿cuál de vosotros lo hizo?
which of you is Kathleen? — ¿cuál de vosotras es Kathleen?
2) (relative)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: quethe letter which came this morning was from my niece — la carta que llegó esta mañana era de mi sobrina
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:do you remember the house which we saw last week? — ¿te acuerdas de la casa que vimos la semana pasada?
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
If instead of defining the noun the [which] clause merely adds additional information, you can translate [which] using either [que] or article + [cual]/[cuales]:he explained the means by which we could achieve our objective — explicó los medios a través de los cuales podíamos alcanzar nuestro objetivo
When which refers to the whole of a preceding sentence or idea, translate as lo que or lo cual: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
it rained hard which upset her — llovió mucho, lo que or lo cual le disgustó
After a preposition only [lo cual] can be used: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 which we went to bed — después de lo cual nos acostamos•
from which we deduce that... — de lo cual deducimos que...2. ADJECTIVE1) (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: quéwhich house do you live in? — ¿en qué casa vives?
which day are they coming? — ¿qué día vienen?
which picture do you prefer? — ¿qué cuadro prefieres?, ¿cuál de los cuadros prefieres?
