Mandarin Chinese for "What". When used in English, can be the equivelant of "what" or "huh". When used for "huh", shen ma is emphasized the same facial expressions as "huh" - ie. confused. When spoken, MA is pronounced as a very quick MAH, and is of a higher tone than SHEN. It is accepted if both are said in a relatively flat tone. Both SHEN and MA should be said quickly but audibly.
