Suggestions with "ba"

Revision as of 07:24, 5 September 2013 by Yucui (talk | contribs) (→‎Examples)

The particle 吧 (ba) can be used to make suggestions or soften the tone or conceding. Here we'll talk about making suggestions with "ba".

Structure

Command + 吧

Note that when you have a command with the subject "we," you're basically just saying, "let's (do something)." 吧 makes the suggestion sound more tentative and more polite.

Examples

  • 我们 走 Let's go.(This is a suggestion)
  • 快点 吃 Hurry up and eat.(This is a suggestion)
  • 给 我 两 个 Give me two.(This is a suggestion)
  • 在 这里 吃 饭TRANSLATION
