    We received an interesting question from a Fluenz user recently:

    (You) should know what details are necessary for the Argentinean work visa
    Debería saber qué datos son necesarios para la visa de trabajo argentina

    In this case, "qué" is used with an accent because it is functioning as an interrogative word (meaning "what") in a direct or indirect question.

    Here’s the breakdown:

    Qué with an accent is used in direct or indirect questions to ask for specific information. It translates to "what" or "which" when asking about something.

    Example: "¿Qué detalles son necesarios?" (What details are necessary?)
    Que without an accent is used as a relative pronoun or conjunction, meaning "that," "which," or "who."

    Example: "Los detalles que son necesarios..." (The details that are necessary...)
    In your sentence:
    "Debería saber qué datos son necesarios para la visa de trabajo argentina,"
    The qué is used because it's asking about the specifics of which details are necessary. Even though it’s not a direct question, the structure suggests an indirect question, which is why the accent is used.
