How to Say ‘Where did you go to have fun?’ in Simplified Chinese
你去哪儿玩了？
nǐ qù nǎ ér wán le
[nee qù nǎr wán le]
💬 Usage Tip: 玩 (wán) covers going out and enjoying yourself in general, such as trips, outings, or meeting friends, not just "playing". The question word 哪儿 stays in the spot where the answer would go, so you'd reply 我去香山玩了.
