"Which is it?"

Translation: Qual è?

[bluth12]

I tried with "qual'è" and it was correct. And Duolingo tells me is "qual è" (without the apostrophe) is also right. And I just read somewhere that if you use the stressed "è" you shouldn't use the apostrophe, and that that's a very common mistake that a lot of people still make.
Can some native Italian tell me if that's true, or if they mean exactly the same, or if one's more informal than the other?
(Please excuse my poor English...)

I'm sorry but Duolingo is wrong. I'm a native Italian and a teacher: the only possible form is "qual è". This form is not elision (like "I'm" in English) but it is apocope. A lot of Italian people write "qual'è" but this is a common mistake, as you have said.

[DaRichta]

mille grazie

i learnt in school 40 jears ago "qual'é" but our teacher was not italian :-)

[BampaOwl]

Thanks, forsilvia, for teaching me a new word. Apocope.

[Chris_Chow]

Could 'Qual e' also be translated as 'which one is it?' Or can it only be 'which is it?'

[forsilvia]

Both

My phone does not give me the alphabet with accents

Have you tried long pressing the letter? If you don't have that option, you can try installing and using a different keyboard

What are "quale" and "quali" for?
The translation is really tricky

[bagellio02]

"quali" and "quale" I think are for masculine and feminine nouns. "quale" is used for both masculine and feminine singular, while ( I think) "quali" is used for masculine and feminine plural. In this translation you wouldn't use 'quali" or "quale" because the word that follows is a verb and not a noun. So the translation shortens to "qual e"

[Korinne301683]

What I put is also correct - Cos'e questo

[Smashley_420]

So they wanna tell you the answer is "which is it" yet the question before (qual è il tuo peguino) they said the correct answer is "what is your penguin?" Instead of which... definitely errors in this app. Wish it was more practical

[iremssss7]

Which is in italian quali. However answer is qual. Why? Why didn't we write "quali è"?

[Curious_Soul]

"Quali sono" is the plural.

[PolarBear667564]

What happened to 'it'? Is 'lo qual è' really wrong?

[BananaNoel]

What's the difference between qual and quale?

[The-Morning-Frog]

When do we use "qual" and "quale"? What's the difference?

[StefaniDeFazio]

I wrote Quale e and it was correct

[AngelaNann]

Cos'è questo

[Pam155065]
