"Which of these is yours?"
Translation:Quale di queste è tua?

Hi everyone!
Il tuo, tuo, la tua and tua all work. The trick is pairing the rest of the words in the sentence to match the gender you picked.
If you use (il) tuo then it must be accompanied by questi. With (la) tua you must use queste.
Quale cannot be replaced with quali because the English sentence indicates you are only looking for one: Which (one) of these is yours?
Hope that makes sense :)
What's the difference between qual and quale? I tried:
Qual di questi è il tuo?
Is qual not the masculine form of quale?

Yes, that helps with the quale but I did not have questi and il tuo accepted . If part of our sentence is correct eg we have used a masculine where this is acceptable but there is another mistake in the sentence, would it not be possible to give that part as an acceptable alternative. (Otherwise we are left puzzling over why it MUST be feminine)

Is it possible to say "quale di questi sono i tuoi"? Can't understand why it was declined.

By using "quale", you are looking for a single item. Whereas "sono i tuoi" implies you are looking for multiple. The English used "is", so it should be single.

Not in English. The subject is "which," not "these." Of course, "which" could be singular or plural, but the verb is definitely singular.
We can say "Which of these are yours?" if we are referring to more than one article. We say "Which of these is yours?" if we think only one of them might be yours.
I don't understand why the following is marked wrong, Quale di questi è tua.

Since you used questi (male), the possessive should match i.e. tuo. Quale di questi é tuo works.
Why not Quali di questi? Nothing indicates that the which is singular, does it?
No, "yours" relates to "quale". And since "quale = which (one) " only "il tuo, tuo, la tua and tua" work, like mukkapazza already pointed out.
I don't know, but I've only come across 'cui' preceded by a preposition - a cui, di cui, con cui, etc
Cui is the logical which. Ie: This thing, which is a thing, is a thing.
I do not understand why "which" is tranlated in the plural since the verb is "is", not "are"
Quale is one, quali are more than one. Quale di queste banane è la tua? Quale di questi panini è il tuo? I think it works like this.
Why is "quali di questi è tuo" wrong? Why does the sentence have to be feminine? If it doesn't, why aren't both answers counted right? English is a largely genderless language and it's impossible for me to know what's desired of me in such neutral sentences

Quali di questi , some of many, asks for a plural pronoun. - ‘ sono i tuoi, not ‘ è tua’.

"Quali di questi è tuo" and "Quali di questi è il tuo", both are not accepted. How do I know it has to be female ?!

Why is "quale di questi è tua" wrong? Questi can also refer to a group of male AND female people/objects?? Can someone enlighten me please? :)
I wrote exactly this and DL is suggesting I made a typo?? DL says it should be tuo.... there even wasn't such a tile!! Weird.
Tile exercise with ONLY the choice of "tua" says i have a typo for NOT choosing "tuo." Here, on the discuss page I see the answer as "tua." * sigh*

"Qual" is a truncation of "Quale". It's only shortened like this when it comes before "è" as in "Qual è il tuo".
