A little more on quale/quali:

1) Quale refers to both masculine and feminine people and things in the singular form:

Quale panino vuoi? Which sandwich do you want?

Quale insegnante hai visto? Which teacher did you see?

2) Quali refers to both masculine and feminine people and things in the plural form:

Quali scarpe preferisci? Which shoes do you prefer?

Quali amici incontri? Which friends do you / will you meet?

3) When quale is followed by è, we have qual è, literally meaning which is..

Qual è il tuo colore preferito? Which is your favourite colour?
