How it's used

Beyond meaning a literal inquiry, this word is frequently used to describe a problematic situation or a source of trouble. When someone says 冇問題, they are often confirming that something is fine or that they are happy to help, rather than literally saying there are no questions. It functions as a versatile way to flag that a situation requires attention or resolution.

Common mistake

Beginners often confuse the verb 問 with the noun 問題. Remember that 問 is the action of asking, while 問題 is the object or the issue itself, so you cannot say 我問題你 to mean I ask you.
