PrimeErective@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?2·11 months agoThe first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.
The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.
Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.
PrimeErective@startrek.websiteto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?31·11 months agoI’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

PrimeErective@startrek.websiteto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out?3·1 year agoI watched the first season and liked it, but something started feeling really artificial about the tension? Not sure, it was a while back
Have you watched Timeless? Sorta similar concept
PrimeErective@startrek.websiteto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•New cars are great...English2·2 years agoJust FYI, it might be pretty easy to replace the back lights. You can even get LED ones. Word of warning though, if the bulbs are built such that the polarity can be reversed, they’ll only work in one orientation. This is due to the nature of how LEDs work. I had to redo mine because I didn’t win all 3 coin flips when I installed them
