the English "what", as--

?Cuales son sus intenciones? What are your intentions?

_Que_ is used in exclamatory sentences--"what a", as--

iQue lastima! What a pity!
iQue bonitos panos! What nice suitings![104]

[Footnote 104: Before an adjective without a noun following "que"
translates the English "how":--iQue bonito! how nice!]

An emphatic _tan_ or _mas_ may be inserted, thus--

iQue pano tan bonito! What a very nice suiting!
iQue hombre mas rico! What a very rich man!

_Cual_ is used in exclamatory clauses instead of _como_ (how), as--

iCual le han reducido las desgracias! How (_or_ to what a state)
misfortunes have reduced him!
iCual la vi! How (_or_ in what a state) did I see her!

_Cuanto_ is also used in exclamations, as--

iCuanto le agradezco su amabilidad! How much obliged I am for your
kindness!

_Cual_ without article and without accent is used for "as," as--

Una casa (tal) cual yo la deseaba: A house (such) as I liked.

Such expressions as "He wrote me a letter, which letter I still
possess," are translated "Me escribio una carta, cuya carta aun tengo."
