  • Great course so far. I go a few days and I test myself on the characters that I’ve learned and I’m learning that I remember them even though I haven’t studied them in a few days or a week

    • I know you asked this question awhile ago, but I wanted to answer anyways.
      谁 means “who”. For example, “谁是你的爸爸?” means “who is your dad?”
      吗 is added to the end of a statement to turn the statement into a yes or no question. It is literally like saying “yes or no?” after a statement. For example, “他是你的爸爸吗” means “he is your dad, yes or no?”
