In this lesson, you will learn about Demonstrative Pronouns and Interrogative Pronouns in Mandarin Chinese. Demonstrative Pronouns are used to point out or indicate something, while Interrogative Pronouns are used to ask questions.
Demonstrative Pronouns[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
Demonstrative Pronouns in Mandarin Chinese are divided into two categories: 这 (zhè) and 那 (nà). 这 (zhè) refers to something that is close to the speaker, while 那 (nà) refers to something that is far from the speaker.
Here are some examples:
| Mandarin Chinese | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
|---|---|---|
| 这个 (zhè gè) | [ʈʂə̂ kə̌] | bu |
| 这些 (zhè xiē) | [ʈʂə̂ ɕjɛ́] | bu |
| 那个 (nà gè) | [nà kə̌] | bu |
| 那些 (nà xiē) | [nà ɕjɛ́] | bu |
As you can see from the table above, 这 (zhè) and 那 (nà) are used to indicate the proximity of an object. 这个 (zhè gè) means "this one," while 那个 (nà gè) means "that one." 这些 (zhè xiē) means "these," while 那些 (nà xiē) means "those."
Interrogative Pronouns[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
Interrogative Pronouns in Mandarin Chinese are used to ask questions. There are five Interrogative Pronouns: - 谁 (shéi) - who - 什么 (shén me) - what - 哪 (nǎ) - which - 几 (jǐ) - how many - 多少 (duō shǎo) - how much/many
Here are some examples:
| Mandarin Chinese | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
|---|---|---|
| 谁是你的朋友？(shéi shì nǐ de péng yǒu?) | [ʂɤ̌ɪ ʂɤ̌ɪ nǐ tə̌ pʰə̌ŋ jòu] | kim senin dostun? |
| 你在找什么？(nǐ zài zhǎo shén me?) | [nǐ dʑâi ʈʂɑ̀u ʂə́n mə́] | ne axtarırsan? |
| 哪个是你的车？(nǎ gè shì nǐ de chē?) | [nà kə̌ ʂɤ̌ nǐ tə̌ ʈʂʰə́] | hansı senin maşındı? |
| 你有几个兄弟姐妹？(nǐ yǒu jǐ gè xiōng dì jiě mèi?) | [nǐ jǒu tɕǐ kə̂ ɕjʊ́ŋ tì ʈɕǐ mɤ̌ɪ] | neçə nəfər qardaşın var? |
| 这个多少钱？(zhè gè duō shǎo qián?) | [ʈʂə̂ kə̌ twɔ́ ʂɑ̀u tɕʰjɛ́n] | bu neçə pul? |
As you can see from the table above, each Interrogative Pronoun has a specific question it is used for. 谁 (shéi) is used to ask about a person, 什么 (shén me) is used to ask about things, 哪 (nǎ) is used to ask about a choice, 几 (jǐ) is used to ask about quantity, and 多少 (duō shǎo) is used to ask about an amount.
Learning Demonstrative Pronouns and Interrogative Pronouns is essential to mastering Mandarin Chinese. With these pronouns, you will be able to communicate more effectively and ask questions with ease.
