/ke/
Que is one of the most common words in Spanish, functioning as a conjunction, preposition, and relative pronoun. In Italian, it translates most often as che, cui, or di depending on its grammatical role.
| # | Type | Spanish | Italian |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | conjunction | que connecting a noun clause | che |
| 2 | preposition | que Introduces a comparison | di |
| 3 | preposition | que Introduces a comparison | che |
| 4 | pronoun | que which | che |
| 5 | pronoun | que (relative) who, whom, what | cui |

Que as a conjunction introducing a clause always translates to che in Italian. When introducing a comparison (más/menos... que), use di. As a relative pronoun referring to objects, use che; for subjects or after prepositions, cui is often required. English speakers should note that que is not always directly equivalent to 'that'—context determines the best Italian rendering.
