How it works
Adding 好吗, 可以吗, 行吗, or 怎么样 after a statement turns it into a friendly request or suggestion — "…, okay?", "…, how about it?". It invites the listener to agree.

Wǒmen yìqǐ qù, hǎo ma?
Let's go together, okay?
你帮我一下，可以吗？
Nǐ bāng wǒ yíxià, kěyǐ ma?
Give me a hand, could you?
明天去公园，怎么样？
Míngtiān qù gōngyuán, zěnmeyàng?
