"哪个包是你的？"

Translation: Which bag is yours?

[Tatonka71]

What is the difference between 包 and 袋？ is one a classifier and the other is the actual noun for bag?

[mendosi]

Generally you could think that 包 is a closed bag like a sack of rice and 袋 is an open bag (like you might carry groceries in).

If you are at the shops and you want to use your own carry bags you could say 請不用袋子 = "please don't use bag(s)".

[Patrick_Dark]

They're interchangeable classifiers for bags.

Mr.rM almost deleted all of his messages on Chinese Duolingo ?!

[Yunqi4]

那个包是你的？
Is that bag yours?

哪个包是你的？
Which bag is yours?

Is that correct?

[BalajiRama1]

The first sentence should end with a ma

[zhouhuanyue]

Yes, 那 Nā/ㄋㄚ and 哪 Nǎ/ㄋㄚˇ both look and sound quite similar, which doesn't help

[Hsn626796]

What are these things you have written after 那 Na and 哪 Na ?

[mendosi]

They are phonetic symbols which predate pinyin. Many Chinese learners use those instead: see 注音 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bopomofo

[chetlin]

那 is nà, not nā (unless it's a surname apparently)

[Imbored721359]

Yeah I guess they messed up with that one... I also got confused in the beginning

What's wrong with "which is your bag?"

[Rk5I3]

How about "which one"?

[hippietrail]

Nothing wrong with either. Suggest them as acceptable answers.

[Simon299426]

"Which is your bag?" still not accepted. Reported 25th November 2018.

[DavidVerno5]

These sentences are equally correct - which bag is , and which is your bag?

[Hsn626796]

Can this be : 你的包是哪 ?

[Clara604861]

So far 哪 was 'where', never 'which'... There was no 'which' yet, only 谁 'who'. That makes this sentence completely confusing to me.

[proleter]

When listening only this sounds the same as "is that bag yours?" How do people tell the difference

[NathanRasm]

"That" falls from a high pitch to a low one. "Which" is low all the way through.

(Also, with "that" it's a statement: "That bag is yours.")

[TCY766099]

'Which bag belongs to you' is considered wrong!!! Wonder what English language is Duolingo using?

[BalajiRama1]

Why doesn't this question sentence end with ”ma”?

[mendosi]

You are thinking that because this is a question, it should end with 嗎. But there are many ways a question can be formed, the interrogative particle 嗎 is a way of changing a statement into a question.

In this case 哪 makes this a question because it asking which.

[BalajiRama1]

Oh yeah, sorry, I completely misinterpreted the sentence. I read na(4) as na(3), so I thought the question was "is that bag yours?" And after all these days, I still can't distinguish between na(3) and na(4) by ear in DL's pronunciation :(, and the pictographs are too similar in my small phone screen.
