When you’re first learning Russian, you usually learn the question word for “what/which” – “Какой / Какая / Какое / Какие” – fairly early on in your studies. Какой is used very often by beginners when learning how to ask questions and get to know other people.
Ex.
Only in my third year of learning Russian did I start seeing this new translation for “what” appear: “Каков / Какова / Каково / Каковы.” Although they have the same definition, there are used in slightly different contexts.
