Nimm welche du willst.

English Translation

Take whichever you want.

Do indefinite pronouns like welche always take the simplest ending if the gender is unknown?
What about the genative and dative cases?
I understand that they decline like 'der if the gender is known.

In context the gender is known.

Talking about apples (der Apfel):

Nimm, welchen du willst. (but only one)
Nimm, welche du willst. (more than one)

Talking about pears (die Birne):

Nimm, welche du willst. (one or more)

Talking about dresses (das Kleid):

Nimm, welches du willst. (but only one)
Nimm, welche du willst. (more than one)

Because of the lack of grammar in English, an isolated sentence in clozemaster is often ambiguous.

Btw, I think nowadays the comma is facultative.
