Do you mean "queue" as in to queue up at a bus stop? If so then it is pronounced the same way you would pronounce the letter "Q".

There isn't an English word 'que'.
Do you mean 'queue' (to wait in line), which is pronounced like the letter Q. In other words, quickly as key-oo (in the UK, the vowel slides quickly from the ey or short i (as in bit) sound to the oo or u sound). It rhymes with few.
Its from the French word queue, meaning 'tail' (of an animal or whatever).
It can be a Noun (object) - e.g. a cinema queue.
or
A verb (action) - To queue for the cinema. Another form that means the same is 'To queue-up', as in 'I queued-up for ages'.

From what i know it means, like if such is full, or is no more room, or is none of, you will be up to wait, like after the person on hold(like on a phone) and every one else is dont you will be up next after there is room, so you are first in the que, you will be up after the last person goes, like a runner up, i'm trying my hardest to explain, hope this helps :) It is pronounced Q not the QWA sound it makes but Q like Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X-Y-Z( now i know my ABCs next time wont you sing with me)

Queue is an english word that essentially means " in line " and is pronounced like the letter Q.
