Hi -
I was wondering if the word 'qué' is used in a couple situations where it is used in English, or if it loses something n the translation.
- 'What??' to mean surprise, usually dismay
- 'What?' to mean self-conscious ("why are you looking at me that way?")
- 'What?' to mean "tell me." (often impatiently)
Are there more appropriate Spanish equivalents?
Thanks
