Your Japanese friend is holding a drink you don’t recognise. How would you ask what it is? Your friend You

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To determine the appropriate way to ask about an unfamiliar drink, we evaluate each option.
Option a: これはいくらですか。 translates to 'How much is this?' This question is about price and uses これは (this) to refer to something near you, not necessarily the item held by your friend. It does not ask what the drink is.
Option b: それはなんですか。 translates to 'What is that?' Here, それ refers to that item your friend is holding, and なんですか asks for its identity. This is the correct choice for asking about the unknown drink.
Option c: これはなんですか。 translates to 'What is this?' This asks about something near you or that you are holding, using これ. Since the drink is with your friend, not in your own possession, this choice is less natural for the situation depicted.
Option d: それはいくらですか。 translates to 'How much is that?' This asks for the price of that item, not its identity, so it does not fit the goal of asking what the drink is.
In summary, the most fitting question to identify the drink your friend is holding is option b, because it directly asks for the item's identity using the appropriate demonstrative それ. The other options misalign with either the object’s reference (this vs that) or the information being sought (price vs identity).
