I think questions with 'ma' are easier for beginners because you can easily hear it every time, since it is at the end of a sentence.

My thoughts exactly. And as for me, I dislike repeating words in a sentence, so I'd choose ma also for this reason.

[@galelichter2619]

I've studied Chinese for a long time, and now teach Chinese to beginners in the U.S. I love your "trick" quote the verb or adjective to answer yes/no questions. Your videos are excellent. It's obvious that you have a firm understanding of grammar and linguistics. I have one comment and a question. My question: Where are you from in China? My comment: I think adding ma at the end of a sentence is an easier way to firm yes./no questions even for English speakers. Although we don't have a question particle in English, we sometimes raise our voices at the end of a statement to make a question eg. You're not going to the party? In a sense the ma works in the same way, but instead of raising our voice, we add the ma particle in Mandarin. Thank you for all your videos. You are a wonderful teacher.

[@AskAndy]

Thank you for letting me know that and sharing your thoughts with everybody!

[@lormoua7562]

I appreciate your videos because they provide not only functional but cultural insight into the language. I find it quite interesting as a Hmong\Miao zu living in the US that as I'm learning Chinese, I keep hearing a lot of words which are also used in my native Hmong language.

In Australia we say ‘no worries’ rather than ‘no problem’ ( generally speaking)

[@francisnopantses1108]

Andy, I had no trouble with the -ma particle since Japanese also has the -ka particle for yes or no questions and latin also has the -ne question marker. Also I had heard of the -ma question marker long before I studied Mandarin because the "ma" syllable is used as the classic example of Chinese tones.

[@anTsoziaL63]

I just recently subscribed to your channel sir and your videos are very helpful for those people who wants to learn the Chinese Language specifically the (Chinese Mandarin Language) just like me who is still a beginner until now.

[@tarekmegahed1423]

It's very interesting, i was wondering why English native speaking wouldn't understand ma or ka since I find it very clear, then it occurred to me that we have that yes or no particle in Arabic but it comes before the question not after it. for example, the phrase "you are Chinese" is "Anta Sini", to make it a question you just add "hel" so it becomes "hel anta sini?"

It seems to me that the difference between choice 1 and 2 in the questions is more like "Do you want to" for 1 and "Don't you want to" for choice 2. As a question in 2 the person asking would imply that choosing the object of the question is a positive. It is neutral in 1. Is it just me, or does "ma" always sound like a dare?

I'm confused why beginner speakers would find pattern 1 (hao buhao) easier? I see no difference between pattern 1 and 2 regarding ease of speech or comprehension. I also did not fully catch which is more common with native speakers. Does it depend on whether the word is monosyllabic or disyllabic?

Hey Andy I have a question regarding the pronunciation of “rén”. I was taught that the the “r” in chinese is pronounced similarly to the “s” in “Asia”. But at 4:29, when you say “Tā shì Zhōngguó rén ma?” The “rén” sounds like the English pronunciation of the letter r. I’m a bit confused can you explain?

Sorry I meant at 4:20

[@AskAndy]

lt might sound similar but I didn't do that.

You can try it with the "SIAN" in ASIAN.

It is not hard at all to get “ ma” particle because in many languages the question is formed by positive statement, and then saying at the end “ a?” or “ aaa”? . Some times it may be regarded rude for very formal situations, but in informal situation it is always used.

And what about questions in the past tense?

I've always wondered why monosyllabic isn't. Thank you for coming to my lame joke.

We don't want anybody to be lonely, including a single word😂

[@endangfelicia1817]

I don't know if my comment will be noticed by Andy LaoShi or not: On word 'shui' (water) why do we put the third-tone-symbol on the letter 'i' instead of the letter 'u'?

[@AskAndy]

Good question! Because the full spelling is "uei" and the tone should be on "e" but "e" is omitted and therefore the tone is marked on "i". Again it's my hypothetical explanation intead of "that's a rule in Chinese" from some Chinese textbooks😂

[@endangfelicia1817]

@@AskAndy what about 'liu' (six), is the tone symbol above the letter 'i' or 'u', and why?

[@AskAndy]

It's on "u" because the full spelling is "iou" and it should be on "o" but "o" is omitted then the tone symbol goes with "u" which is after "o"

[@endangfelicia1817]

@@AskAndy can we conclude that on every single word, if we find 2 vowels, then the tone symbols are always put above the last vowels. Is it?

[@jeffreysommer3292]

I looked through ten pages of characters for wei, and couldn't find the meaning you are referring to. Please let me see the traditional character for it.

[@AskAndy]

I didn't mention wei in this video. Did you mean the wei位 as a measure word for a respectable person?
