I remember ustadha mentioning instances where someone would use ما  over ماذا and vice versa when asking a question, but I cant remember what was mentioned. Can someone remind me (or direct me to the recording where it was mentioned).

Jazakallah khair

Assalamu alaykum, 

Madha and maa both mean ‘what’. The former is more often used with verbs while the latter is not often used with nouns. 


I hope that helps,
