Posted on: Can You Use Chopsticks?

@romanticon,

bababardwan is right.

Hui4 - Used to talk about 'abilities'. Eg.

 你会说英语吗? nǐ huì shuō yīn yǔ ma? Can you speak English?

Or 你会唱歌吗? Nǐ huì chànggē ma? Can you sing?

'kěyǐ'- is used for when asking 'permission' type questions/replies. For example 我可以坐吗？wǒ kěyǐ zuò ma? Can I sit here? or 我可以吃吗？ wǒ kěyǐ chī ma? May I eat?

You cannot say nǐ kěyǐ yòng kuàizi ma? to mean 'can you use chopsticks?'

Hope this helps!

@dianema

头 can be used, but it's used orally and not very common.

面 is far more commonly used.
