"Which male celebrity do you like?"

Translation: 你喜欢哪个男明星？

[alanxoc3]

I like how celebrity is "bright star" just like we refer to celebrities as stars in English.

[Keith_APP]

Usually we only call someone 明星 if he/she is renowned for being an actor/actress or singer, or having engaged in other types of performances or sports.

[MauroEzequ6]

In Spanish too, so I felt the same. There are lots of words like this in Chinese. Love Chinese :).

Why is it not OK to use 什么 instead of 哪个 here?

[Keith_APP]

什么 means What, so it's just like in English we won't say "What male celebrity..."
We can use 什么 for the type of person (like profession, nationality, etc.) in a casual way, e.g. 什么人给我们派信？邮差。

how about this sentence? "哪个明星你喜欢?" can i say it like this?

[Wendy275378]

I think that 哪位 is even better than 哪个 because of the standard Chinese using 位 to identify the differences between human and others. So 你喜欢哪位男明星should be the right translation.

[Keith_APP]

No it is not accurate to say so. Human can also be counted using 个. 位 is honorific.
You asking a friend : 哪个
You asking an actress as an entertainment reporter before the camera : 哪位

[huahailinh]

Celebrity is a general noun, not specified for man or woman. The answer should be "明星“, not "男明星"

[DaveLommen]

Well, the English specifically asks for a male celebrity, so the Chinese should reflect this.
