You could, and it would be correct. But few would understand at first. It sounds like "caisse", like in "caisse de vin" (crate of wine).

- julienfr112 7y agoIt could also be used by an "homme de lettre" in a very pompous way.
- forty 7y agoIt's much more understandable if you add "donc" after "Qu'est ce". I don't really know why, it just adds extra weirdness :)
- mehrdadn 7y agoCan you say "Quoi est-ce?" and avoid that ambiguity (and correspondingly, "Qui est-ce?")? Or would that be wrong?
- bdauvergne 7y agoYou can't, the "liaison" is mandatory between "quoi" and "est".
- jobigoud 7y ago"Qui est-ce ?" is correct. "Quoi est-ce ?" is not. "Quand est-ce" and "Où est-ce" work. "Comment est-ce ?" doesn't really work by itself but could work with something after it, like "Comment est ce film ?". All of these work and sound more natural in spoken language if you flip and say C'est quoi ? C'est qui ? C'est quand ? etc.
