Que is one of the most frequent French words and its translation varies greatly by grammatical function. As a conjunction it introduces noun clauses (что); as a relative pronoun it means which (который/что); in comparisons it means than (чем/нежели). Learners often confuse que with qui, which introduces relative clauses with different subjects.
