It’s time to introduce you to all the forms of welcher and dieser! The nice thing about those two words is that they have the same endings. And if you look closely, you’ll notice...they even have really similar endings to the word der!

Which swimsuit?
Dieser Badeanzug!
This swimsuit!
Welche Tasche?
