Cultural Tip
In Spanish the interrogative word *qué* always carries an accent, even when it appears at the beginning of a longer question. The phrase is neutral in register, so it works both in formal settings (e.g., asking a technician) and informal ones (e.g., chatting with a friend about a video player).
