Makna

A question asks for missing information or checks whether something is true. It can ask about a person, place, reason, or other detail, or offer alternatives to choose from. Languages mark questions with word order, question words, small markers, or intonation, and some have no special question word order. Requests and commands ask someone to act rather than supply information, although a question can also serve as a polite request.

Cara mengenalinya

Check whether the speaker is asking for information or confirmation, then look for any question word, changed order, small marker, or spoken melody that signals it.
