Learn Chinese Characters — Ask; Enquire; Question
by
The Chinese characters 问 meaning is ask; enquire; question.
Enquiries are often made at the door, the entrance to a house. A mouth (口) at the door (门) therefore becomes a fitting ideograph for ask or enquire: 问. It can also mean question or interrogate, although to do so in an officious manner would be, according to the saying, “asking the blind man the way.” (问道于盲)
