Is there any case 'Cuál' used with 'estar'? My Spanish textbook says that 'Cuál' is used before 'ser'. Is there any case 'Cuál' is used before 'estar' ? Thanks a lot in advance.

You can say: ¿Cuál es tu color preferido? But also something like: ¿Cuál está peor? ¿Cuál está más frío? Well, in Spain we don't say "cuál sopa está caliente?", we'd say: ¿Qué sopa está caliente? or even ¿Qué café es mejor? But I guess in America is different

Hi! If I'm understanding the question correctly, then the answer is yes, just like "ser". Examples: 1) ¿Cuál café es mejor? = Which coffee is better? 2) ¿Cuál sopa está caliente? = Which soup is hot? (in both cases you can omit "café" and "sopa" if the context is clear for the speakers) ¡Saludos! :)
