Are you excited to be here? Wait, don’t answer yet, because we’re about to learn how to ask and answer yes/no questions. You’ve already learned how to ask questions with “who” (“shéi”) and “what” (“shénme”). Here are two live examples. ○ Nǐ shi shéi? ○ Wǒ shi Hú Měilíng. ○ Nǐ xìng shénme? ○ Wǒ xìng Wáng. Now let’s look at another kind of question, one that can be answered “yes” or “no”. Listen to this exchange. ● Is she Mrs. Wang? ○ Tā shi Wáng Tàitai ma? ○ Tā shi Wáng Tàitai ma? ● She is Mrs. Wang. ○ Tā shi Wáng Tàitai. ○ Tā shi Wáng Tàitai. Notice that the question is exactly the same as the answer except for the syllable “ma” at the end. Any statement may be turned into a yes/no question, that is, a question that can be answered “yes” or “no”, by adding “ma” at the end. Here’s the exchange live. ○ Tā shi Wáng Tàitai ma? ○ Tā shi Wáng Tàitai. Here’s another example of a yes/no question with “ma”. ● Are you Mr. Wang? ○ Nǐ shi Wáng Xiānsheng ma? ● I am Wang Danian. ○ Wǒ shi Wáng Dànián.
