どれ
Which?
About
どれ is a so-called 「こそあど」word, that can be translated as "which?". どれ's set of こそあど words includes これ, それ, あれ, and どれ.
どれ, and other こそあど words starting with ど, ask questions such as "which", "where", and "how". どれ in particular, can only be used to ask "which?" when dealing with three or more options. If there are only two options, other こそあど question words must be used instead.
Grammatically, どれ is a pronoun, which means that it directly substitutes for the noun it refers to. This distinguishes it from other こそあど words, such as どの, that attach to nouns, rather than substitute for them.
