How do you say “What did you get(buy)?” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
What did you get?
何買ったの？
nani kattano
If you want to ask politely, you can say :
何買ったんですか？
nani kattandesuka
Pronunciation
- what ＝ 何 nani
- did you get ＝ あなたは買ったの anatawa kattano
We do not usually say “あなたは anatawa (= you)” in everday conversation.
何
what
＋
（あなたは）買ったの
did (you) get
