A quick #SpokenTuesday post to upgrade your WeChat conversations✨
Next time you want to ask friends/colleagues a question – type in 么 me instead of 吗 ma!
⭐️
么 me (question word)
❗️It works for spoken language too😉
⭐️
It’ll just make your question sound more casual. As if you’re “just wondering”:
吃饭了么?
Had lunch yet?
⭐️⭐️⭐️
How would you ask “Hungry yet”?😁
@wenling_lam: 你饿了么?
@yourmandarin: @wenling_lam 😋🏅
@sbyzulkr: 你饿了么?
@yourmandarin: @sbyzulkr 🏅😎
@saaralopez: @julianacardona7 es más natural?
@the_wayne10: How about ” 为什么 ? ” . . . . . . . Is it right / wrong ??
@yourmandarin: @the_wayne10 It’s not wrong! But you can make it sound more casual by saying 为啥 instead😁
@emahayashida: 请问,“什么鬼” 是什么意思呢? @yourmandarin
@yourmandarin: @emahayashida “What the heck”
@memske01: 你俄了么?
@yourmandarin: @memske01 🏅😋
@hamseeeneananas: And what does it mean in connection with verbs like 要么?
@yourmandarin: @hamseeeneananas 😊 That’s a great question and another topic! 要么 is also used to make your sentences more casual, but not questions – suggestions: 要么 we order a takeaway today? (“Perhaps we could”, “or maybe we could”)
@hamseeeneananas: @yourmandarin 非常感谢!!😘
@rouge.ma: 饿了么? ✌🏼
@yourmandarin: @rouge.ma 😁🏅
@emahayashida: @yourmandarin 天啊,对不起,不好意思😥
@amirulneezam: Hai e le me?
@yourmandarin: @amirulneezam 👍 “hai” means “still”, so you don’t need it here! “Le” is enough to express “yet”😉
@mirnitaisa: 你餓了麼?
@yourmandarin: @mirnitaisa 😋🏅
@amandaswampler: E le me?
@yourmandarin: @amandaswampler 😁🏅
@havo.0205: 你吃下饭么?
@zzzzyuhan: @havo.0205 你吃饭了么
