learnjp: What’s Wrong? || どうしたの？Hey guys, today we’re gonna look into how we can ask our friends “What’s wrong?” in Japanese!There are a few ways we can ask this in Japanese, as in English:What’s wrong?・どうしたの。／どうした。・どうしたんですか。What happened?・何があったか。・何がありましたか。Is there a problem?・問題があるか。・問題がありますか。どうしたの：To ask the question ‘what’s wrong?’ you can simply ask 「どうしたの」or 「どうした」, and if you want to be a bit more formal make sure to use polite です・ます ending by asking 「どうしたんですか」. You can use this question to ask what’s wrong with both animate an inanimate objects. You can also ask “What’s wrong with (someone)?” by using 「(name)はどうしたの」.Examples・例「れい」：サラ、どうしたの？・Sarah, what’s wrong?泣いてるの。どうしたの。・Are you crying? What’s wrong?どうしたの。ちょっと顔色悪いよ…・What’s wrong? You look a little pale…昨日学校休んだけど、どうしたんですか。・Yesterday you didn’t come to school, what’s wrong?サラはどうしたの。なんで叫んでるの。・What’s wrong with Sarah? Why is she shouting?このテレビどうしたの。・What’s wrong with the TV?「どうしたの」can also be used to mean something more casual like “What’s up?” / “What’s happening?” depending on the context.Examples・例「れい」：どうしたの。なんでみんなここにいるの。・What’s happening? Why is everyone here?サラ、ちょっとだけ時間ある。・Hey Sarah, do you have a minute?もちろん。どうしたの。・Sure. What’s up?Question Markers:It’s easy to get confused between when to use the different question endings such as か、の、and のか.「か」is the universal question particle used by everyone. Its function is simply to make questions. While「の」functions similarly to 「か」, it has the ability to soften what you are asking and essentially makes it less demanding. I’ve also heard that it can be used to seek clarification based on knowledge you might already have. On the other hand「のか」is often used in speech when you are requesting a yes or no answer, as well as an explanation afterwards. -- source link
