"Welches Kind?"

Translation: Which child?

[Thiagaraj_M]

"Welche Kinder" but "Welches Kind"? Is it Welches for singular and Welche for plural? Can someone pls explain the rule for "Welche" ?

[iEldor]

Use Welche before plural and feminine nouns Welche Kinder or Welche Frau. Use Welches before neuter nouns Welches Kind or Welches Bier. Use Welcher before masculine nouns Welcher Hund or Welcher Mann.

Explanations like that one are the ones Duoling needs to get better!

[Donald919821]

These conjugations are now explained in the Tips and Notes for this Section.

[Aarathi11]

Das ist nützlich! :D

[Ruth540897]

I found this very helpful as well. Thank you.
I do have a question about "welchen" in an earlier exercise: Welchen Orangensaft magst du?

[SojournerDest]

Orangesaft is in the Akkusative case and so the preceding determiner is WelcheN.

[hechap]

Ah! That is because it's in the Accusative case . . . probably! If you turn the question into a statement, then Orangensaft is a direct object, so you need to decline Welche just as you would decline "der." Right?

[cheegrate]

Oh, how I wish Duolingo would explain this kind of stuff.

[tmll2]

Thanks. that really helps.

[vltello]

That was helpful :D

[deactivated user]

So, it is the same rule with -er/-es/-e?

[Forder23]

What "Welche" exactly means and is that word without additon?

[KillerSeel]

Welche means wich like which kid "Welches kind" it is mostly used for questions in german.

[hechap]

Is that only for Nominative case?

[LloydGunn]

Excellent, cogent explanation. Thanks

[Kuro621240]

could you explain the difference between who, what, when, where, why

[Sumithra16]

You have explained it in such a simple way..thank you.. could you please help me understand nominative,accusative, dative and genitive cases too..I am not able to get them how much ever I am banging my head

[stevenjaygoldman]

Simple way to remember, that last letter matches der/die/das, welcher welche welches to match the gender. Same applies for adjectives

[sarafmsantos]

Why is "what child" considered wrong?

[Kai_E.]

I think this translation would be okay. To say "What child?" or "Which child" you can say "Welches Kind?" in German, but you just can't say "Was Kind?" because it makes no sense.

[Orange2002]

Look like it could be either. Did you report this to the Moderator?

[p3tr8]

Although this should be taken into account, we should be learning German through our best English: "What Child?" is not as good as "which child?" and besides, "which" sounds more natural in the context

[lujpaster123]

Can this be translated as "Whose child" ?

[Langohr_]

No, that would be „Wessen Kind?“

Twin problems...

[SharonBijoy]

Are they planning a kidnapping???????

[RoerKillz]

[InigoMitro]

[JillEliza]

Why not "Which kid?"

[deactivated user]

Why "Kid" is not accepted for "child"?

[deactivated user]

Twin problems...

[BRpLw6]

Thank you 'iEldor' for the WELCHE .es / er explanations. Makes sense now. good luck.

[Oliver_A_Thomas]

Has anyone here completed their tree?

[M3RKMUS1C3]

I always mistake this for which kind cause I keep forgetting that kind means child

[asdfasdf255457]

If there is "Welchen Namen tragt es" why here is not a "Welches Kinds/Kinden"? I don't know anything now...

[hosseini14]

Thands iEldor that helps a lot

[GregoryEva8]

I am a bit confused by the automated voice. Is the 'L' actually being pronounced here, or is it silent?

[Inesavagian]

I'm sorry for staying this but I don't want to see the word "turk" here anymore, you can use American, Armenian or whatever you want but why "turk".

[Joanna122774]

Welches Kind= which child
Welches Pferd= what horse
Can someone explain the logic of those translations by Duo?
