English to Spanish translations [Non-PRO]
English term or phrase: What? (see context) What are the laws in your state regarding sexual offense misdemeanors? (I don't know whether to say ¿Qué son las leyes en su estado...? or ¿Cuáles son las leyes...? It seems that ¿Cuáles? sounds better but I want to be sure. Thank you in advance.

Cuáles Explanation: Para mí no cabe duda de que se debe usar el pronombre interrogativo "cuáles". "¿Qué son las leyes?" no es correcto en este contexto y sólo se me ocurriría relacionarlo con una pregunta metafísica.	Selected response from: Carmen Cuervo-Arango Spain Local time: 06:52
