A retroflex final is represented by the letter "r" added to the final. In actual writing,“儿” is added to the character in question, as in “năr(哪儿)”. 2. **发音要领 Pronunciation key** **Initials:** | 声母 Shēngmǔ | Example | |---|:---| | z | like "ds" in "beds" | | c | like "ts" in "cats", with aspiration | | s | pronounced as in English, e.g. "s" in "see" | **Finals:** |-r(final) | like "er" in "sister" (American pronunciation) | ## 六、语法 Grammar **用疑问代词的问句 Questions with an interrogative pronoun** | Statement | Question | |:---|:---| | Nà shì wǒmen lǎoshī. 那是我们老师。| Nà shì shéi? 那是谁? | | Wõ xìng Mã. 我姓马。 | Nĩ xìng shénme? 你姓 什么? | | Cântīng zài èr céng. 餐厅 在二层。 | Cântīng zài năr? 餐厅 在哪儿? | | Tā shì Zhōngguó rén. 她是中国 人。 | Tā shì nă guó rén? 她是哪国人? | The word order in a question with an interrogative pronoun is the same as that in a declarative sentence. In this kind of sentence, a question pronoun simply replaces the part of the sentence to which the interrogative pronoun corresponds.
