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:

你懂嗎?
NíDǒngMa?






你 = you
懂 = understand
Do you understand?
是他嗎?
ShìTāMa?






是 = is
他 = he; him
Is it him?
這樣對嗎?
ZhèYàngDuìMa?






這樣 = this way
對 = right; correct
Is this right?
今天天氣好嗎?
JīnTiānTiānQìHǎoMa?






今天 = today
天氣 = weather
好 = good; nice
Is the weather nice today?
你愛看電影嗎?
NǐÀiKànDiànYǐngMa?






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