Do you really blame them?

That makes sense. Thank you for that bit of Fresh Prince lore!

The 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.

I'm totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.

What's your NAme

How OLD (are you)?

Where are you FROm?

I guess in this example, "who is your daddy?" Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise

Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?

I guess Reading is not his strong suit

[-] PrimeErective@startrek.website 1 points 7 months ago

Honestly, same. I want to play it so bad, but never liked turn based stuff

Always wanted to learn, and I have a deck!

[-] PrimeErective@startrek.website 1 points 8 months ago

I might try that, but I'm also pretty certain that I read somewhere in the documentation that it was a deliberate limitation for whatever dumb reason

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones with a USB C port, that won't charge unless the other end of the cable is USB A. So no USB C to C cables. Every time I have to charge them I want to report AKG to like, the EU parliament, or something
