qué

Cultural Note

'Qué' (with accent) is interrogative/exclamatory, while 'que' (without accent) is a conjunction or relative pronoun meaning 'that/which.' In exclamations, '¡Qué + adjective!' expresses intensity: '¡Qué rico!' (How delicious!), '¡Qué lindo!' (How pretty!). Spanish uses inverted question marks and exclamation marks at the beginning of the sentence.
