I am learning English. Once a friend is speaking her travel experience in a foreign country and I wanted to ask her how the experience is, did she enjoy it. So in this case, are these two sentences valid?
Was it fun there?
How did you like there?
How did you like X country?
Also, conversely, if my friend is travelling in my country and I'm local, I want to know if she likes my country. What should I ask? Is this sentence good?
Is it fun here?
Do you like it here?
Best Answer
If your friend visited a foreign country, you could say any of the following.
Note that it is possible for a person to have fun in a foreign country and not like the country at the same time. They might have had fun meeting their relatives and friends, doing certain activities, or going to some specific places. But they might not have liked the polluted environment, the road congestion, and the high price level.
Hence, if someone says they did not like "Country X", it does not necessarily mean they did not have fun there.
If someone asked me that question, I would most likely start talking about the beauty of the country and the great things about the country. If you want to ask your friend about their daily debauchery, then "Did you have fun?" would be a better choice.
