Chinese grammar mistakes 42

 

When communicating in Chinese you may often make mistakes using Chinese grammar like:

False:

    什么学你?

     Shénme xué nǐ?

True:

    你学什么?

    Nǐ xué shénme?

这句是 What do you learn?的直译。在汉语里,用“什么”作宾语的疑问句中,“什么”只能放在动词谓语(“学”)的后边。

This is the literal interpretation of ” What do you learn?”. In Chinese, if 什么 is the object of an interrogative sentence, it must follow the verbal predicate(学).
