你推荐什么？

When to use

Use this when you're unsure what to order and want to get a recommendation from the staff, especially if you want to try a local specialty.

How it works

This is a direct question asking 'You recommend what?'. The structure is Subject + Verb + Interrogative Pronoun.

• 你 (nǐ): you
• 推荐 (tuī jiàn): to recommend
• 什么 (shén me): what

Word Order

In Chinese, the interrogative pronoun '什么 (shén me)' (what) typically comes at the end of the sentence when asking a question about the object of the verb, as seen here with '推荐 (tuī jiàn)' (recommend).

Notes

Ask for the waiter's suggestion for a dish.
