Follow-up questions with 呢 — Chinese grammar (HSK 1)

Noun / Pronoun + 呢？

呢 (ne) tacked onto a noun or pronoun asks "And what about ...?" without repeating the whole question. It is the natural way to bounce a question back: 我很好，你呢？ On its own, 名词 + 呢 can also mean "Where is ...?" when something is missing.

Examples

我很好，你呢？ Wǒ hěn hǎo, nǐ ne?	I am fine, and you?
我喜欢茶，他呢？ Wǒ xǐhuan chá, tā ne?	I like tea, what about him?
我的书呢？ Wǒ de shū ne?	Where is my book?

Tip: 呢 needs context; it only works when the previous sentence makes clear what is being asked.
