çò que

What and That Which

Level 3

Çò que means what: çò que dises.

How It Works

With a preposition, the preposition comes first: Parli de çò que sabi.

Do not confuse çò que with que after a noun. L'òme que ven has a noun before que. Çò que ven has none, so it means what is coming.

Watch the spelling. The ç has a cedilla and the ò has a grave accent.

Ask what with qué and answer with çò que: Qué dises? What do you say? Compreni pas çò que dises. I do not understand what you say.

Compreni çò que dises.
I understand what you say.
Çò que opens the clause.
Ausissi çò que dison.
I hear what they say.
Çò que is the object of ausissi.
Çò que vesi es plan polit.
What I see is very pretty.
Çò que is the subject of es.
Aquò es çò que vòli.
That is what I want.
Çò que follows aquò es.
Sabi pas çò que cal far.
I do not know what to do.
Çò que works with cal far.

Using lo que for what.
Compreni lo que dises.
Compreni çò que dises.
Lo que means the one that and needs a masculine noun in mind. For what, use çò que.
Leaving out que.
Compreni çò dises.
Compreni çò que dises.
Çò always comes with que.
