What is the difference between ce que and ce qui and can someone use it in a sentence to describe their friends or what they like?

Answer 1

the difference is "ce que" is used to speak about objects and things. however "ce qui" is to speak about persons. of course you can use it to speak about people and things.

Answer 2

"Ce qui" is used before a subject or a verb, while "ce que" is used before an object. For example, "ce qui me plaît, c'est la musique" (what I like is music) uses "ce qui" because it stands for the subject "la musique." On the other hand, "ce que j'aime, c'est la tranquillité" (what I like is tranquility) uses "ce que" because it replaces the object of the verb "j'aime."

To describe their friends using "ce qui," someone could say "ce qui est important pour moi, ce sont les amis sincères" (what is important to me are sincere friends). To use "ce que," they could say "ce que j'apprécie chez mes amis, c'est leur sens de l'humour" (what I appreciate about my friends is their sense of humor).
