Quoi also means what...
How do you know when to use Quoi in a situation where ce qui and ce que is present.
This question relates to:French lesson "Ce qui (vs ce que) = what/which (French Relative Pronouns)"

Bonjour Diana !
"Quoi" will be used when "what" is followed by an infinitive = "what to do, what to think...":
"Je ne sais pas quoi faire." (I don't know what to do.)
"Il se demande quoi choisir." (He's wondering what to choose.)
I hope that's helpful!

Then how is it possible that a French consumer's magazine is called Que Choisir?
I always thought this meant 'what to choose', but if we follow the rule it should be 'quoi choisir'. Right?
