formal and often intense questioning
A serious and often long time of asking many questions, usually by the police or other officials, to get information or a confession.
รูปแบบการใช้:
an interrogation of [someone] by [an authority]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes confuse "interrogation" with "interview". An "interview" is usually neutral and can be friendly (for a job, a TV show), while an "interrogation" is serious and often stressful, usually by police or other authorities. Another common mistake is using it as a verb (*"to interrogation someone"*), but the correct verb is "to interrogate" and the noun is "interrogation".
คำพ้องความหมาย
questioning (General and neutral; does not always suggest the same level of pressure or formality as "interrogation".)
|
grilling (Informal; suggests very tough or aggressive questioning, often used in everyday speech or about journalists and politicians.)
คำตรงข้าม
silence (Represents the absence of questioning or discussion, contrasting with the active and intense questioning in an interrogation.)

question form in grammar
In grammar, the way a sentence is made into a question instead of a normal statement.
รูปแบบการใช้:
the interrogation of [a clause] in [a language]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may think "interrogation" in this sense is common in everyday speech, but it is mainly a technical term used in grammar and linguistics. In normal conversation about sentences, people more often say "question" or "interrogative sentence" than "interrogation".
คำพ้องความหมาย
interrogative (More common term in grammar for a question form; often used as an adjective or noun referring to sentences, clauses, or pronouns.)
คำตรงข้าม
declaration (In grammar, a declarative sentence is the opposite type of sentence: it makes a statement rather than asking a question.)

technical signal or query request
In technical fields, sending a signal or question to a machine or system to get information back.
รูปแบบการใช้:
the interrogation of [a device/system] for [data]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes assume this technical use always has the same emotional or legal feeling as police "interrogation". In technical fields, it is usually neutral and simply means a request for data or a signal exchange.
คำพ้องความหมาย
query (Common technical term especially in computing and databases; usually implies a structured request for specific data.)
คำตรงข้าม
response (Refers to the data or signal sent back, which is the opposite side of the interrogation–response pair.)
