Cultural Tip
In everyday French, "C'est quoi…" is a very common, colloquial way to ask "What is…?" It sounds friendly but would be considered too informal in a business meeting or a written email, where you’d use "Quelle est…" instead. Also, remember that "ton" is used with people you know well; with strangers or in formal settings, switch to "votre".
