What is the capital of Tunisia?

Is doubling the «que» a thing in French?

As @jlliagre said in their comment I made a mistake in my answer. Corrected.


What you suggest (using ne…que followed by a subordinate clause introduced with que) is not possible.

You could:
— Use the restrictive ne…que followed by a noun:

  • Je ne veux que ton bien-être.

— Use an adverb instead of the restrictive ne…que and then have a subordinate clause:

  • a- Je veux simplement que tu sois à l’aise.
  • b- Je veux seulement que tu sois à l’aise.
    Option b- could be ambiguous since seulement could be understood as your not wanting anything else.

— Replace the restrictive ne…que with tout ce que:

  • Tout ce que je veux c’est que tu sois à l’aise.
  • Tout ce que je veux c’est ton bien-être.
