How it works

呢 can be used in questions to ask “what about...?” It can also soften the tone of a statement.

Example sentences

我很好,你呢?

Wǒ hěn hǎo, nǐ ne?

I am fine. How about you?

王老师呢?

Wáng lǎoshī ne?

What about Teacher Wang?

他还在看书呢。

Tā hái zài kàn shū ne.

He is still reading.

Usage note

In statements, 呢 often makes the tone sound softer or more vivid.
