    new word
    māma妈妈mother, mum, mom

    note
    This is an alternative way of forming questions that doesn't use the ma particle. The meaning is the same. In fast speech the bu is usually reduced to a neutral tone (shì bu shì).

    note
    Any verb can be used to form questions in this way.
