Is there a simple explanation of difference between 谁 and 吗？

Lacey JoPremium Student August 13, 2020 at 11:17 pm

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?”

I think gōng 弓 is bow as in “bow and arrow”.
