Editor's Notes
- 吗 forming a Yes/No question with ma at end of the sentence. ‘ma?’ is used to change a statement into a question in Chinese. . It always goes at the end of the statement. It’s helpful to think of ‘ma?’ having the meaning, ‘yes? no?’. Notice, that in English, when you ask a question, you will usually change the order of the statement. The statement, ‘the student is hardworking’ becomes the question, ‘Is the student hardworking?’ Chinese leaves the statement as it is and simply adds a ‘yes? no?’ at the end. E.g. ‘The student is hardworking, yes? no?’
- Adjectival (stative) verbs 我老师很好 In English we often use adjectives in sentences such as 'My brother is very tall', or 'My grandmother was very wise'. In these sentences, Chinese misses out the 'is' or 'was' (which are parts of the verb 'to be'). So a Chinese person would just say, 'My brother very tall', and "My grandmother very wise'. So watch out for this very common pattern: 'Noun + is/was + adjective' and remember to leave out 'is/was' when you translate into Chinese.
