In the book Exercices de grammaire en contexte, niveau intermédiare, there is a question involving two types of interrogatives with comme:
Qu'est-ce que ... comme, quoi comme....
The authors give two examples, under the statement: Demander une précision, as follows:
J'ai une voiture - Tu as quoi comme voiture (familier)
Il cherche un appartement - Qu'est-ce qu'il cherche comme appartement? (courant)
My question is:
1- What does Qu'est-ce que ... comme, quoi comme mean? Does that mean What kind? (as in the example: What type of car do you have? What kind of flat is he looking for?)
2- If they have the same meaning, is quoi comme used in informal way, and qu'est-ce que...comme used in formal way?
I have searched in all my grammar textbook but I haven't found anything that relates to these type of interrogation.
Please help me.
Thanks.
