How to Say ‘What about it?’ in Traditional Chinese
呢
ne
[nuh]
💬 Usage Tip: At the end of a question, [呢] often means [what about…?] or [and…?], as in [你爸爸的生日呢？]. It's great for follow-up questions: [我的是五月，你的呢？]
🇹🇼 In Taiwan: This is a very natural, conversational way to keep the topic going in Taiwan. It sounds smoother and less repetitive than asking the full question again.
