飲みない？Is it a positive question or a negative question? I was watching a movie the other day in which a character asked someone if they wanted a drink. She said 飲みない? (With the intonation) which I've always known to be the negative form of the verb, but surely if that were the case, the translation would be like "you don't want to drink?" Instead of "you want a drink?" How comes it translated positively? And if that's correct, how do I ask if someone doesn't want to drink? TLDR:// Can negative forms of verbs be used to ask if someone wants to do something. If so, how do I ask if someone doesn't want to do something. Thank you~ ありがとう〜
