Language / Grammar - difference between "jaki" and "co" in Polish language [43]

@mafketis
Thanks for the response,

So, you are saying that

"Jaki jest ten pies?" and "Jaki to jest pies?"

mean the same and can be either

what type of dog is it (breed) or what is the dog like (big/small).

Am I correct?

Language / Grammar - difference between "jaki" and "co" in Polish language [43]

Merged:

Difference between "What is x like" and "What sort of x is that"

I am learning Polish and I am confused by how I should express "What is x like" and "What sort/kind of x is that".

My learning material translates "What is that house like?" as "Jaki jest ten dom?" and "What kind of dog is that?" as "Jaki to jest pies?".

It also notes that I can use "Co to (jest) za budynek?" to mean "What sort of building is that?".

When using "jaki" is it the difference in location of the "jest" or the use of "ten"/"to" that changes the meaning?
