Passive Verb Question
ドミニカではなんごがつかわれていますか。
ドミニカではなんごをつかっていますか。
May i know what is the difference between these two sentence. First one makes use of passive verb つかわれ.

Question

Answer

The closest English translation I can come up with:

1. What language is used in the Dominican Republic?

2. What language does one use in the Dominican Republic?

So you're right, the first one uses the passive while the second one
is in the active mode, although the meaning is the same.

Just to be perfect, you should say なにご、instead of なんご to mean "what language"。（漢字is何語）。

I hope this helps.
