So here's another really neat feature about the Chinese language. We've got a verbal question mark, which is just like saying a question mark out loud. So you'd be like saying a statement like Felix likes me question mark does Felix like me. So it's quite complex, actually how we make questions in English and many other Western languages. But in Chinese and many other Asian languages, actually, because I've been around a few here, we would just have a question mark particle, or just simply a word. And we put that at the end of a sentence.

And we would make that into a question like that. Fantastic. So now that we know how it works, let's learn how to say it as well. It's simply as we can see there, and it's pronounced like MMA. So it looks like that. But that's not super important.

What we're focusing on is the opinion, the MMA part here, and then the meaning is simply a variable question mark, we can call it so whatever you can think of at the end, and you're good to go. Actually, for instance, if you go is that Felix you would just say Felix and then Adam, and there'll be that Felix or an existential question, am I feeling Felix Ma, Ma. Ah, oh, Felix. Ah, yes. So basically we can add Mark anywhere. And one very good place would be after how that we very recently learned as well.

How meaning good, and then we can say Houma as in the answer would be okay or good. And the question would be, is it good? Or is it Okay, so how we would answer with how Houma how fantastic now we can even use Mark together with Niihau and say niihama. So it could sound like you walk around and say hello question mark. But that's not actually if we break this down now character for character. It's neat you how good question mark, are you good simply or more loosely translated to How are you so now we actually know the way to say hello, but also how are you and know tell the interconnect As well, it would be Niihau and then niihama.

So now you're actually ready for a full on conversation. You can say way, way, and then you go with Niihau Hello. And then that person would answer with a Niihau back. And then you would ask me how ma How are you? Hopefully that person says How? And then he asked you back niihama and you say how back and then you just say bye bye.

Yeah, yeah, no, no Ma, ha, ha ha, ha. So you see, there we go. It sounds like a rigid and quite a textbook type of sentence. And you could argue that it is, but it's also very, very common. It's the most common one and thereby it's also the most useful sentence you'll ever learn in Chinese or dialogue, I guess. Wonderful.

I hope you enjoyed that video. thoroughly.
