Wow, this is awesome! Thank you so much! I finally understand why some questions have 吗ma and others don’t need it.
Duolingo is great because it’s free, but I don’t think it replaces talking to actual native speakers.
Can I ask you something? In duolingo, it rarely “tells” you the definitions of things, and leaves you to suss it out from context, but one I’ve been struggling with is duoshao多少.
In context it also appears to signify a question, but only questions regarding numbers. I think I’m missing something in my understanding of it though.
An example it gives is 他的电话号码是多少，which, to my understanding is like, “your phone number is what?” Or “What is your phone number?”
Is my understanding correct? If I wanted to ask how many apples you have, would I use 多少？
