what are those? or: What're those?

Question

mysangels · Answer

Both are correct, but the contraction what're those isn't "proper".

anonymous · Answer

What are those because it is mostly used in English writing and *What're those is wrong

anonymous · Answer

Both are correct. "What're" Simply means "What are".

@weasell123     
I believe it is "what are those"

anonymous · Answer

Im sorry but the people above are mistaken. The correct way to say what are those is to search for someone wearing god awful foot wear and point at their shoes and scream "What are thooooooose?!?" That is the only way to properly say what are those.

“What are those” is correct.

leahhhmorgannn · Answer

As stated above, "what're" is technically an incorrect contraction. So "what are those" is MORE proper and more correct.
