呢

ne

Questions with "ne"

呢 bounces a question back — "and you?" — without repeating it.

Noun + 呢 ?

How it works

我很好。你呢? means "I'm fine. And you?". 呢 attaches to a noun and inherits the question that was just asked.

It also asks where something is when the context is obvious: 我的钥匙呢? — where are my keys?

This is the everyday use. 呢 has a second, softening role at the end of statements that HSK 2 covers.

Examples

  • wǒ hěn hǎo nǐ ne?

    我很好。你呢？

    I'm fine. And you?

  • wǒ de shǒu jī ne?

    我的手机呢？

    Where's my phone?

  • wǒ yào kā fēi, nǐ ne?

    我要咖啡，你呢？

    I'll have coffee — how about you?
