How do you say “What kind of music do you like?” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
What kind of music do you like?
どんな音楽が好き？
donna ongakuga suki
If you want to ask politely, you can say :
どんな音楽が好きですか？
donna ongakuga sukidesuka
- what kind of … ＝ どんな … donna …
- music ＝ 音楽 ongaku
- you like ＝ あなたは好き anatawa suki
We do not usually say “あなたは anatawa (= you)” in everyday conversation.
どんな
what kind of
＋
音楽が

（あなたは）好き
