"你想买哪双鞋子？"

Translation: Which pair of shoes would you like to buy?

[Jamie720093]

do you want and would you like. This is driving me crazy

[Riki115]

Both are possible. The thing is Chinese doesn't make this distinction, so when translating to English the problem here is the context

[hallojanelle]

What pair of shoes do you want to buy

[deactivated user]

I know! I can't believe this hasn't been accepted

[saracmk]

Is it necessary to have to say pair of shoes？ Technically you are saying pair of shoes in Chinese, but you wouldn't say that in English..

[MsAWhit]

Exactly. You don't need to say pair.

[LeiFeiRalf]

I'd be more inclined to say "which pair do you want?"

"Which shoes do you want?" sounds slightly unnatural to my native ear although the similar phrase "which shoes do you like?" somehow seems ok...

[linda437018]

yes, it's not like you could buy them single.

[Kittysdream]

What pair of shoes do you want to buy
Should definately be accepted!

[ElenMiao]

I put "which shoes?" We would say that in English more than we would say "which pair of shoes?"

Does the fast audio in the listening exercise (not the female audio on this page) sound like it's saying 那 (4th tone) instead of 哪, or is that just me?

Yes, you only insist on your answer. There are, however, many acceptable English version answers...
