询问 vs. 问

询问 vs.
xúnwèn vs. wèn

1. Both 询问 and 问 are verbs meaning “ to solicit opinions or to ask about”. 询问 is used in literary works while 问 is more casual.
(1) 老师打电话来询问)你的近况。
(2) 市长深入基层视察,并询问)了一下村民们的生活状况。
(3) 他就这个问题专门询问)了专家。

2. 问 also means “ to raise a question, to express one’s solicitude, to interrogate, to internee, etc.”, so 询问 cannot used here.
(1) 我他为什么不接我电话。
(2) 替我候一下你的家人。
(3) 十年以前他就在此地隐居,从此不世事。

1.“询问”和“问”都是动词。有征求一件和打听的意思。“询问”多用于书面语,而“问”多用于口语。
2.“问”还有提出问题请解答,以及安慰、审讯、干预等意思,这时不能与“询问”互换。
