Beginner Chinese 4 - Learn Chinese
April 24th, 2006
What is that? – Nà shì shénme?
You have learned so far two different way to ask questions:
1) with “ma” - Yes-or-No question
2) with “shìbúshì” structure
Questions are important and they are key to our daily conversation since not only you can obtain information from other person, you can also show your interest!
We are going to teach you another very useful way to ask questions using “shénme”. This episode is important, because the three new words we are going to learn appear frequently into any conversation.

I expect a linguist to know full well how a language works regardless of whether he can speak it perfectly. Being able to speak the language perfectly would only make the person a better linguist.
A person that speaks a language well, but doesn’t know why defines your typical person. Most people that speak just English (or Chinese) generally do it quite well, but don’t know the intricate details of language’s grammar. Ask them why they say something a certain way and you’re likely to get the answer, “I don’t know. It just sounds right to me.”
