If you switch to 'tu', you must also change the verb to 'gostas' and the sentence order may shift.

Both 'que' and 'qual' can be used, but 'qual' requires the definite article when the noun is explicit: 'Qual a marca que você gosta?'.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, 'você' is the default second‑person pronoun and takes third‑person verb forms, as shown in 'gosta'. In Portugal, people often use 'tu' with the verb form 'gostas', so you would hear 'Que marca tu gostas?'. Keep in mind that asking about brands can be a friendly ice‑breaker, but avoid overly personal or expensive‑brand questions unless you know the person well.
