用“呢”问在哪儿

HSK 1Lesson 9
Using 呢 to ask where something is
解释Explanation

名词 + 呢？ 如果前面没有别的话，常常是问这个人或东西在哪儿。

When noun + 呢？ is said on its own, without an earlier sentence to compare with, it usually means "Where is ...?" — for example when you are looking for something. 我的猫呢？ = Where's my cat? (After a statement, as in Lesson 4, noun + 呢 means "What about ...?")

例句Examples
  • 我的猫呢？
    Wǒ de māo ne?

  • 安娜呢？

  • 我的杯子呢？
