El ke bueno

El ke bueno

I saw a taquería today that had the slogan "El Ke Bueno." I read that as "el que bueno," meaning "that which is good," or more idiomatically, "the good stuff." Could I also say (for example, if I were talking about a beer I liked,) "esta es la que buena"?

It´s obviously spelled incorrectly and should be "El qué bueno" (The how good it is).

Your senario about beer doesn´t really work.

I don't think que should have an accent on it there. - jeezzle, Oct 7, 2011
It´s being used as an exclamitive, so it needs the tilde. "El" is just making a title from the expression "¡Ay, qué bueno!" - 005faa61, Oct 7, 2011
My spanish teacher says it only uses it with accent as an interrogative. - jeezzle, Oct 7, 2011
accents are also used for exclamations, like julian says - unMica, Oct 8, 2011

Hi,

In your exaple you should say "esta es la buena" if you have it in the hand and "esa es la buena" if you not, it means that from the all beers in the word, these is the best.

Usually in the mexican restorants you'll find funny names, or part of a phrase as name, in this case, could be refering to "¡Que bueno esta!". Another example could be "Tá como quiere", it means "Esta como quiere", but is a word game to say It's as I like.

I'm not god with english, if I make a mistake, please help me grin

Great question. As a non native with a lot of listening experience I'd say it sounds good to me. Though I might hear "lo bueno" or "de las buenas"..... I can see "la que buena" or "el que bueno" and I would think the same as you, but a native can confirm or deny this.
