Hello Benny,

Just like to say congratulations on very sucessful olympic games. It was very impressive.
I have a question for you.
How do I ask a How often question?

I know I can say duo jiu yici but I’m unsure of the structure. can you give me a few examples?

Best regards

Jon ashley

Hi Jon, You may say “ni3 duo1 jiu3 ti2 yi1 ci4 wen4 ti2?” ask a question= “ti2 wen4”, question= “wen4 ti2”, how often=“duo1 jiu3”.

Hi Jon,

Thank you very much, I think this is the best Olympics ever.

As for “how often”, the structure is "duō jiǔ + Verb + yí cì, for example

nǐ duō jiǔ hē yi cì pí jiǔ = How often do you drink beer?

nǐ duō jiǔ zuò yi cì yú jiā? = How often do you do yoga?
