== Colloquial Saying == In spoken Chinese, the rhetorical question, "这还用说(吗)?", indicates the speaker believes that the statement is obvious. It is equivalent to the speaker saying, "is that seriously a question?" or "do you really need to ask?" Often, "这还用说(吗)?" is said in an impatient tone of voice. == See also == * [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Negative_commands_with_%22bie%22 Negative commands with "bie"] * [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Auxiliary_verb_%22yao%22_and_its_multiple_meanings Auxiliary verb "yao" and its multiple meanings] * [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Negative_commands_with_%22bu_yao%22 Negative commands with "bu yao"] == Sources and further reading == === Books ===
