Answer Question
Podcast 3 question on asking what to drink
In the 3rd podcast on Mandarin levels 1 +2, there is a dialog where one of the lines is "Miss, would you like to drink anything?" It's hard for me to break down exactly what they say in Chinese but it sounds like "小姐你要喝点什么吗?" or in pinyin " xiǎojiě, nǐ yào hē diǎnr shénme ma?" Is that correct? If so , I have two questions on it. Does that translate literally as "Miss, do you want a little bit of what to drink?" Also, why do they put "ma" at the end? Isn't shénme already a question word so that you wouldn't put ma?
