___ます？ vs. ___ますか？：What You Must Know About it Right Now!
What is the difference between What is the difference between “___ます？(masu) and ___ますか？(masuka)”? Which is used as “more polite”? After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!
___ます？(masu) / ___ますか？(masuka)
Do you ___?, Are you ___?, Is it ___?, etc / 是…？, 是…吗？ / ___인가요?, ___입니까? / ___ không?, ___ không vậy ạ?
“___ます？(masu) and ___ますか？(masuka)” mean “Do you ___?, Are you ___?, Is it ___? etc” and which has been used” when you ask someone for something” The tips for using them are that native speakers often omit “か” of “___ますか？”, so that would be “___ます？” such as “並んでます？(Are you in line?)” and “並んでますか？(Are you in line?)” which can be used as polite. If I had to say, “並んでますか？” would be a little bit polite than “並んでます？”. So, in business situations, you might want to use “並んでますか？” instead of “並んでます？”. Additionally, “並んでます？” is not casual, it is between casual and polite. For instance, “このバスは空港に行きます？(Does this bus go to the airport?)” and “このバスは空港に行きますか？(Does this bus go to the airport?)”, “どのくらい待ちます？(How long do I have to wait?)” and “どのくらい待ちますか？(How long do I have to wait?)”, “この道であってます？(Is this the right way?)” and “この道であってます？(Is this the right way?)”, etc. Everyone could use “___ます？” and “___ますか？” in daily conversations. I’d say “___ます？” sounds native speakers, why don’t you use it form tomorrow?
