How it's used
Functions as both an interrogative pronoun for people and a selector for objects. When referring to people, it is often shortened to 邊個 in rapid speech. It is more specific than 邊個, as it explicitly asks for a choice from a set rather than just asking for an identity.
Examples
Out of this pile of apples, which one do you want?
Who said we don't have to go to work tomorrow?

Common mistake
Beginners often confuse 邊一個 with 邊個. While they are interchangeable for people, 邊一個 is the only correct choice when selecting from a group of items.
