「嘛」 ​

中文最圆的语气词。显而易见 / 没啥好争的。

是你自己要去的嘛。     You wanted to go, didn't you.
好嘛,我去。           Fine, I'll go.
这不是显然的嘛。       Isn't that obvious?

嘛 = 软化语气 + 暗示"这不明摆着"

三张脸 ​

中文英文
嘛(理所当然)obviously / of course / duh
嘛(让步)fine / alright
嘛(反问)isn't it? / didn't you?(反问尾巴)

动手 ​

人都会累嘛。

✅ Of course people get tired. / Everyone gets tired, right?

是你答应的嘛。

✅ You promised, didn't you?

试试嘛。

✅ Just try it.

好嘛,随你。

✅ Fine, whatever you want.

英文里的 "tag question" ​

中文的"……嘛?" 对应英文的 反问尾巴:

You said so, didn't you?
You're tired, aren't you?

前面肯定,后面带个小否定问回来。加一层"不是吗"的味。

小卡片 ​

嘛(让步)      →  fine / alright
嘛(反问)      →  ... didn't you? / ... isn't it?
