Does adding ませんか always have an implied “with me”? I noticed that all of the example sentences included it, even the ones without an explicit 一緒に or the like.
Hey
It often has “together with me (the inviter)” nuance, since it is used to make invitations but it is not always the case.
Example:
私の先生になってくれませんか?
Won’t you become my teacher?
I see; thanks for the clarification!
@deltacat3 Hey! This just has to do with the note found on the grammar point’s Meaning page: “[Often used with 一緒に to clarify that the speaker wants to do something together].” Cheers!
I just wanted to say, that I believe there is a typo in the description.
It probably should mean “an” invitation.
Hey there! This seemed like a typo on our end so we have just fixed it!
Is ないですか a valid way to end this form? (How です can be added to the end of ない to make it more polite)
In some of the examples/questions, it seems I need to put し before ませんか, for しませんか… But I can’t seem to find or understand the exact reasoning, unless it has something to do with し as a particle…?
し is a stem form of the verb する, so thats why its added in those sentences.
