意思
To pose an inquiry to an instructor.
文化背景
In Japanese schools, students often wait until the end of the lesson to ask questions to avoid interrupting the teacher's flow and bothering classmates. This is a sign of respect for the group's time. When asking a question, it is polite to start with 'Sumimasen' (Excuse me) and end with 'Arigatou gozaimasu' (Thank you), even if the question was simple. In online settings like Zoom, Japanese students are more likely to use the chat function to ask questions rather than speaking up, as it feels less intrusive. In non-academic settings like a dojo or a traditional craft workshop, 'Sensei' is still the title used, and 'shitsumon suru' remains the standard way to seek guidance.
The 'Sumimasen' Opener
Always start with 'Sumimasen' before asking. It makes you sound much more natural and polite.
Particle 'Ni' is Key
Never use 'wo' for the teacher. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.

Use 'Arimasu' for Nouns
If you forget the verb 'suru', you can just say 'Shitsumon ga arimasu' (I have a question). It's equally common.

常见问题
5 个问题Yes, but it's better to use 'shitsumon ga arimasu' or 'o-kiki shitai koto ga arimasu'. 'Sensei' is only for teachers.
No, it's perfectly fine. However, 'kiku' is more common in very casual settings.
質問 (shitsumon) is the act of asking. 疑問 (gimon) is the feeling of doubt or the question itself in your mind.
You can say '{たくさん|沢山}の{質問|しつもん}があります' or '{先生|せんせい}にたくさん{質問|しつもん}します'.
It depends on the teacher, but generally, waiting for a break or the end of class is safer in Japan.
