When you want to ask someone about their situation after you've shared yours, you can use 你呢 (nǐ ne), which means "How about you?" or "And you?".
The interrogative particle 呢 (ne) is pronounced with a neutral tone. It's often used after a pronoun to form a question about the situation mentioned previously.
Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.
我不是中国人 (wǒ bù shì zhōng guó rén),我是新加坡人 (wǒ shì xīn jiā pō rén)。BLANK?
你呢 (nǐ ne)
These two characters mean "How about you?" or "And you?". Don't forget to type 5 at the end for neutral tone syllables.
你呢 (nǐ ne) combines the pronoun 你 (nǐ) meaning "you" with the particle 呢 (ne), to form a question about the situation mentioned previously. It means "How about you?" or "And you?". It helps keep the conversation going in a friendly and natural way. For example:
我是数据分析师 (wǒ shì shù jù fēn xī shī)。你呢 (nǐ ne)? - I'm a data analyst. And you?
