Kare wa nani wo shimasu ka.

Hai, otoko wa hon wo yomimasu.
If it is a yes or no question, you should respond with "γ―γ" orγ"γγγ" first and then answer the rest of the question.
Otoko wa hon wo yomimasu.
Otoko means "man." There is no "the" in Japanese so when you see the question
above, you can translate it into English as "Is THE man reading a
book?"
Otoko wa hon wo yomimasu.
In this question, the "nani" is asking WHAT he reads.
To answer, remove the question word "nani" and then replace with "book." Since it is not a "yes/no" question, you do no have to put "HAI" or "IIE" at the start of the question.
