On Earth: 到底 and 究竟

A close friend has stopped answering your messages since a small argument last week. Write a text message pressing them for an answer, apologising for your part, and asking to meet. Write 80–180 characters.

  • Press for a real answer with 到底
  • A rhetorical question with 难道…吗
  • Admit your part with 确实 or an apology
  • Suggest meeting to talk

Pick with a tap, a number key or Space. A Chinese keyboard on your device works in the box below too.
