Asking Questions (1) - 嗎

Share/Bookmark


The most common way of asking questions is to add the word 嗎 (ma) at the end of a statement.

Once this word is attached to the end of a sentence, it will convert the statement into a question that should be replied by either "yes" or "no".

For Example:

?
DǒngMa?






= you
= understand
Do you understand?
?
ShìMa?






= is
= he; him
Is it him?
?
ZhèYàngDuìMa?






這樣 = this way
= right; correct
Is this right?
?
JīnTiānTiānHǎoMa?






今天 = today
天氣 = weather
= good; nice
Is the weather nice today?
ÀiKànDiànYǐngMa?






= you
= love
= watch; see
電影 = movie
Do you love watching movies?
