How to Say ‘Doing any exercise’ in Simplified Chinese

有做些什么运动

yǒu zuò xiē shén me yùn dòng

[yǒu zuò xiē shén me yùn dòng]

💬 Usage Tip: [有] before a verb can ask whether someone has done that kind of thing, especially in conversation: [有做些什么运动] 'have you been doing any exercise?' You can reuse it with other actions, like [有看医生吗?] 'Have you seen a doctor?'

🇨🇳 In China: This sounds conversational and spoken, the kind of wording you might hear in family chat. In more careful written Chinese, people would often phrase this differently.
