我们去哪里啊 - Wo men qu na li a (where are we going?)
有啊 - you a (I have)
你是谁啊 - Ni shi shei a (who are you?)

Koreans put -simda at the end of everything.

The Japanese don't do either, so that's how I tell the difference.

Also, I know the sound of Korean and Chinese and if it doesn't sound like Korean or Chinese, they are Japanese.
