That one
¿Cómo se dice..?


"Why is that one so good?" (For example a guitar that he wants to buy and I'm wanting to ask why that particular one is good)

"Porque es esa tan bien?"

One hint: "Bien" and "mal" always go with "estar", not ser.

"That one" es más específico que "that", a secas, y puede traducirse, según el contexto por "ése". Requeriríamos más contexto, de antemano diría:

¿Por qué ése/ésa es tan bueno/a?

Nota importante: El "por qué" va separado para preguntar (why) y junto, "porque", para contestar (because).

Un saludo.

You might notice that Julvenzor replaced your choice "bien" with "bueno/a"."

bien = well good.
