Notes

疑问代词

AKA: question words, wh-words

  • Chinese word order: "in-situ" question words
  • Interrogative pronouns for quantity: 多少 and 几
    • 多少 is a versatile interrogative pronoun and can cover any number; 几 is generally used for numbers 1 - 9.
    • 几 must have a measure word, whereas 多少 can occur alone or with a measure word.
  • Interrogative pronouns can also mean "anything", "anyone", "something" or "someone" e.g. 谁都喜欢中国菜.
