Question 1 Report

"Į chọghị iga?" Kedu ụdị ajujụ a?

Answer Details

The question asks what type of question (udI ajuju) the sentence "I choghi iga?" (Don't you want to go?) represents. This sentence uses the negative suffix "-ghi" in the verb "choghi" (do not want), forming a negative question - one that asks about something using negation.

In Igbo grammar, this type of question is called Ajuju okwu asi (a negative question). A negative question is formed by using the negative form of a verb within the interrogative structure. The speaker phrases the question in the negative ("don't you want...?") rather than the affirmative ("do you want...?"). Such questions often expect confirmation or carry an element of surprise.

The other types of questions do not apply here: "Ajuju gwuchara" (closed/completed question) is a broad category for yes/no questions but does not specifically identify the negative construction. "Ajuju mmeghe" (open question) would require a question word like "kedu" (what/which/how) and cannot be answered with a simple yes or no. "Ajuju n'ezie" (genuine/sincere question) describes the intent behind a question, not its grammatical form.
