On this page, you can learn how to ask what somebody’s hobby is in Japanese.
Key Sentence
First box: English, Second box: Romaji, Last box: Japanese writing and audio
| What is your hobby? |
| shu mi wa na n de su ka |
| しゅみは何ですか。 |
One by one
- しゅみ → hobby
- は → no meaning
- 何（なん） → what
- です → is
- か → ?
Note 1
‘your’ is あなたの, so ‘your hobby’ is あなたのしゅみ.
However, you hardly use あなたの in a daily conversation. That is why ‘your hobby’ is just しゅみ.
Note 2
You can ask other things with the sentence pattern:
| What is your name? |
| o na ma e wa na n de su ka |
| お名前は何ですか。 |
お名前（お・な・まえ） → name
| What is your job? |
| shi go to wa na n de su ka |
| 仕事は何ですか。 |
仕事（し・ごと） → job
