When people says "Does it make sence to you?" in Chinese, I will fell nervous cause I think the speaker is annoyed by me. Do people speaking this sentence really have slightly annoyed by the listener? In other words, I mean the tone when people speaking out this.

Question

Answer

Depends on the circumstances. I'm sure you could figure out if someone is annoyed by the context of the conversation, their body language, and the tone of their voice.

Answer

If you had just explained something to me and then said "Does it make sense to you?" I would not be annoyed. It is fine to ask if what you have said makes sense if you think they might not have understood.

For people who are using English but it is not their native language, It is common to ask if what they have said makes sense. It is their way of checking that their English has made sense.

As long as the tone is friendly most people should should not get annoyed.
