I was wondering how to say, "wonder". I wonder how he or see is feeling, I wonder why the sky is blue. Google translate says 不知道。I don't think it is right more " I don't know". Thanks

I've had similar problems when trying to express this in Chinese, my best way to overcome it was to not think in English haha.  I can see what Google translate says 不知道, because you could say something like "我不知道他感觉怎么样” kind of implying a wondering.  You could also use 好奇 I suppose, have a look at this anyway:

Hope some of this helps.

I just found that website by typing "I was wondering" in quotation marks into google, that can be a good tool sometimes.
