How to Say ‘Don't you think’ in Simplified Chinese
你觉得呢
nǐ jué de ne
[nee jyoo eh duh nuh]
💬 Usage Tip: [你觉得呢] literally means "what do you think?" with [呢] making it sound softer and more conversational. You can swap in other subjects too, like [你喜欢呢] is wrong, but [你怎么看呢] works well for "how do you see it?"
🇨🇳 In China: [你觉得呢] is great for keeping a conversation going because it invites the other person in without sounding pushy. In a bar, it feels more natural than firing off one direct question after another.
