solch vs solche

such

'solche' and 'solch' mean very similar things: they refer to a particular kind or emphasize a quality. The words are easy to confuse because they look almost the same. The difference is mainly in their form within the sentence. 'solche' is an inflected form and often comes directly before a plural noun or in matching forms such as 'solche Fragen' (such questions). 'solch' often appears in combinations like 'solch ein Tag' (such a day) or sounds somewhat more elevated. In everyday language, 'so ein' is often even more natural, but 'solche' and 'solch' are both correct when the form fits.
