  • You can add “请问” (qǐngwèn) at the beginning for polite questioning.
  • Paraphrase or confirm: 你的意思是…？(Nǐ de yìsi shì…?) — Do you mean…?

These expressions are commonly used in everyday conversation and help convey empathy and interest in the other person’s inner feelings and thoughts, facilitating effective interpersonal communication in Chinese.
