Ángela asks a question using the structure ¿Cuál es tu + noun.
She could stop there. Instead, she adds another piece of information using the connector y and a second noun.
y is a conjunction used to connect two nouns. Here's the structure she uses:
¿Cuál es tu + noun + y + noun?
This allows the speaker to request more than one detail in the same question.
Listen to the audio and answer the question below.
What is the second piece of personal information Ángela asking?
She is asking about someone's age.
If she were asking about age, she would use the word edad, but she uses a different noun in the sentence.
She is asking about someone's profession.
To ask about someone's job, she would use the word profesión, but that word does not appear in the question.
She is asking where someone lives.
To ask about location, she would say ¿Dónde vives?, which is a different structure.
She is asking about someone's last name.

In the sentence ¿Cuál es tu nombre y apellido?, two nouns are connected with y:
Nombre
Apellido
The word y connects two pieces of information.
Ángela first asks for the person's nombre and then adds apellido.
This structure allows the speaker to request multiple details in one question:
¿Cuál es tu correo y número?
Here, the second piece of information Ángela asks for is apellido.
