Sentence-final interjection "a"

Revision as of 02:37, 22 November 2011 by Jonathan.pope (talk | contribs)

The interjection 啊 (ā) is often added to the end of sentences to create one of the following effects:

  • Friendliness
  • Enthusiasm (sometimes urgency)
  • Cuteness

Which of these it means depends entirely on the context of use. It can be added to the end of most sentences, but be careful not to over-use it!

  • 你好
  • 你 怎么 样
