どんな N (donna N) — what kind of N?
A question word asking the kind or quality of a noun.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
「どんな」always sits right before a noun and asks "what kind of" that noun. The pattern is 「どんな + N」. Examples: どんな車ですか (donna kuruma desu ka) = "What kind of car is it?", どんな人ですか (donna hito desu ka) = "What kind of person is it?" 「どんな」cannot stand alone — it always needs a noun.

Question: 1/3How do you ask "What kind of car?" (車 = car)
💡 Hint: どんな + N.
どんな車ですか — どんな before the noun.
「どんな」always needs a noun after it. Which sentence is correct?
💡 Hint: どんな + noun: どんな車, どんな食べもの.
あの人はどんな人ですか is right. 「どんな」cannot stand alone before です, and you never add の after it.
Fill: 日本語は＿ですか。("What is Japanese like?" — there is no noun after it)
💡 Hint: 「どんな」needs a noun, 「どう」does not.
日本語はどうですか = "What is Japanese like?" 「どう」stands alone before です. 「どんな」only works with a noun: どんなことばですか.
