Practice

David
▶︎ OK, everyone. It’s practice time. Now I can already hear your question.
David, why use “否定疑問文”? Why not just regular “疑問文”?
It’s easy. It’s about feeling and emotion. These questions show unexpected surprise,
suspicion and seek comfirmation. They’re very useful.
SO let’s practice and add them to your tool kit.

Roza
▶︎ All right. Repeat after us.
・You asked for the check? Don’t you want to have dessert?
・You asked for the check? Don’t you want to have dessert?

David
▶︎ Just like Sensei said, don’t forget to add emotion to these phrases.
All right. Here’s our next one.
・The network is down? Can’t you fix it?
One more time.
・The network is down? Can’t you fix it?

Roza
▶︎ And one more.
・Please, stop. Haven’t you done enough?
・Please, stop. Haven’t you done enough?

David
▶︎ Unlock your potential.

Roza
▶︎ Repetition is the key.

Roza & David
▶︎ Great work.
