How to Say ‘Do you come here often?’ in Simplified Chinese

你常来这家酒吧吗?

nǐ cháng lái zhè jiā jiǔ bā ma

[nee chahng lie juh jyah joe-bah ma]

💬 Usage Tip: In yes-no questions with [吗], the word order stays the same as a statement: [你常来这家酒吧] becomes [你常来这家酒吧吗?]. That's a very reusable pattern: [你喜欢这儿吗?] 'Do you like it here?'.
