How to Say ‘Are you married?’ in Traditional Chinese
你結婚了嗎？
nǐ jié hūn le ma
[nee jiéhūn luh mah]
💬 Usage Tip: Add 了 after the verb to show it has already happened, then 嗎 to make it a yes/no question. Answer 結婚了 "yes, married" or 還沒 "not yet".
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: In Taiwan, older people often ask this early in a conversation, and it isn't considered rude. It's fine to answer briefly and move on.
