GRAMMAR
Today's grammar point is the pattern that uses the polite negative non-past of a verb plus
the question particle ka to form a negative question used to invite the listening party to
do something. This expression implies that the speaker thinks it would be OK if the
answer is negative.
Formation:
Ve rb masu st e m/root + mase n ka?
