murrayjames Posted February 5, 2017 at 09:23 PM Report Posted February 5, 2017 at 09:23 PM “没错，哈哈，英语不就是那么艰难么，哈哈” In this sentence, the particle 么 is pronounced "me" (neutral tone), right? 百度词典 says: 么：助词，表示含蓄语气，用在前半句末了：不让你去～，你又要去。 Is that the correct definition here? I'm not sure what “表示含蓄语气” means. 么 (ma) can also be used as a substitute for 吗, and in that case would be an interrogative particle. Is that right? Quote
Daniel Tsui44 Posted February 6, 2017 at 11:27 AM Report Posted February 6, 2017 at 11:27 AM 含蓄 means do not express in a directly way 么 here is not interrogative partical, it used to express the turth that you both know in a tend way. Quote
murrayjames Posted February 7, 2017 at 01:51 AM Author Report Posted February 7, 2017 at 01:51 AM So here 么 is softening the sentence, making it less direct? Quote
