How do you say “What’s your favorite food?” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
What’s your favorite food?
好きな食べ物なに？
sukina tabemono nani
If you want to ask politely, you can say :
好きな食べ物なんですか？
sukina tabemono nandesuka
- what’s … ? ＝ … は*なに？ … wa nani
- your ＝ あなたの anatano
- favorite ＝ 好きな sukina
- food ＝ 食べ物 tabemono
*We often omit “は wa” in spoken language.
We do not usually say “あなたの anatano (= your)” in everyday conversation.
あなたの 好きな食べ物your favorite food
