"מה עדיף, ענבים או דובדבנים?"

Translation: What is better, grapes or cherries?

[lulubeck]

What do you prefer, grapes or cherries? Perhaps this is not acceptable because it specifies a person?

[misterram]

Yeah, the given sentence asks the question generally. If you want to direct it to a person it would be :

"מה אתה מעדיף/את מעדיפה, ענבים או דובדבנים?"

[nizdobs]

Could you translate the sentence as "What is preferred, grapes or cherries"?

[radagastthebrown]

That would be "מה מועדף". The word עדיף suggests it has some kind of advantage, that it's better - it doesn't mean it's preferred.

[NaftaliFri1]

I would buy that

Ma adif, anavim o duvdevanim?

[IngeborgHa14]

Can you say מֶה עָדִיף? But I suppose you do not use מֶה any more (it is followed by an unstressed עָ and מַה used traditionally to follow in its form the rules for the definite article).

[VivekRaman7]

How is this different from the passive

...מה מועדף
