"¿Qué zapatos te quedan bien?"

The problem is that quedar is a very diverse word. It can be used in many different contexts with many different meanings. It is easily the most complicated and confusing word I've encountered in Spanish. It may be frustrating but with this word the best way to learn it is trial by fire. No definition is going to help much.

Here are some other uses of the word quedar if anyone is interested: http://spanish.about.com/od/usingparticularverbs/qt/using_quedar.htm

"quedar " when used with clothing can mean " to fit" or "to suit"

It's not a "bad" sentence to teach a word just because you didn't know it.

I think they have fixed that problem now.

Think of quedar in this case as "stay" like "does the shoe stay well on your foot?" It's another language so you have to try and get the general intent of the word. I'd rather be exposed to it here then be completely lost in real life. :)

When your question word is immediately followed by a noun, you use qué. If the question word is followed by a verb, then you would use "cuál(es)". For example, if this sentence were constructed as "¿Cuáles SON los zapatos que te quedan bien?" instead, then "cuáles" would be the correct choice. Hope this helps!

I think that would mean, "Which shoes fit you well?"

Cuáles means "cost".

If you have a complaint or suggestion, report it.

It would not be natural to say that in English. Fit and suit are very tricky. It is a nuance thing, and dependent on both the grammar and the type of object. For example, if this Spanish sentence talked about earrings, okay, you could translate it as, "Those earring suit you well."

Jeff, Well, if it is incorrect, why would you want it added? I feel like your english sentence is a bit redundant. Something suits you, or does not suit you. the well, is redundant. Just my opinion..

I would like to know this as well and don't see a good explanation from anyone addressing it.

I believe you are correct with the last part. "Te queda(n)" would mean "fits you" where "Te queda(n) bien" would mean "fits you well".

I read that even without the "bien" the same idea can still be applied to clothes and (I think) adding mal would mean the opposite. If you think about it it seems like it means that something fits you how it should so saying that something fits you seems to me like it is the same idea as fitting you well.

You can't use good in this instance because "What shoes fit you good?" would not be proper English.

It is very common to misuse good where well should be used in English. I'll give you some examples.

Wrong: I can sing good.

Right: I can sing well.

Wrong: She performed good.

Right: She performed well.

In any instance like above you always use well and never use good. Remind yourself to put well instead of good in these situations and once you get used to it good will sound terrible in its place.

Usually "bien" means "fine" or "well". People do use "good" as a synonymy in English for them but I think it is considered bad grammar. "Good" is about character, "I do not steal, I'm good" and "well" and "bien" or more about a physically quality, "Are you still sick? No I'm fine."

I'll buy the "you guys" for a casual translation of the sentence, but DL is correct with the "which" shoes part. Overall, I think it is an awkward sentence. I cannot think of a situation where one would use this construction very often. Lose sleep over 300 irregular verbs not about a weird little DL sentence, OK, Isenat?

Because of the «te» which is replacing «a ti/usted», meaning "to you" (singular).

You could've said that if the sentence had a «les» instead, replacing «a ustedes», meaning "to you" (plural).

Quedar is a very versatile verb: http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/quedar

The construction "quedar bien" is a specific construction using "quedar" that means "fits well," so it fits (or suits) me well "Me queda bien...," as in clothing, in this case. This is the form that uses the same sentence structure as "gustar," though I don't think it is a reflexive verb.

The true reflexive form of this verb - "quedarse" - has a completely different meaning of "to stay/keep/take..."

Simple. Good is not an adverb, so it cannot modify a verb; the adverb "well" is needed. Many people do of course speak incorrectly, for example, "he played good." This is retarded English spoken be native speakers who suffered somewhere alone the line when they learned their own language.

Knightrider - we all get caught on words we used incorrectly. It's almost like I've had to redo my english grammar to progress. Good is not the correct word here, it's well. See mischijourdi's comments. She explained this quite well. When you are trying to choose between many 'which' is also preferred. But we've all said 'what'.

I used to look at the DL dictionary for each lesson before and after. It was really helpful and I am told that it is returning some time shortly. I don't always remember words that are not in frequent use.

I can answer my own question from a year ago, if anyone else was also confused by this. "Qué" goes directly before a noun in questions, and "cuál" goes in front of a form of "ser". "Qué" goes directly before a form of "ser" only when the definition of something is being asked. For example: ¿Qué color es esa camisa? -What color is that shirt? vs ¿Quál es el color de esa camisa? -What is the color of that shirt?

Yes it has. It was introduced in the clothing module. The verb is quedar and it's conjugation is regular for -ar verbs. If you just run through the questions and don't study the verb conjugations, you're going to be lost.
