| Hi Antonio, Those 2 questions are equal and means the same "What is this?" And there is another phrase that could be very useful to memorize : Что такое лампа? = What does лампа mean?

| The reply can be: лампа - это lamp This is a very simple word, so the person should be a real beginner is he/she asks that. Therefore the best answer is just to translate the word лампа into English. On the higher level you can explain the word using Russian or just point at the object.
