Why don't you 〜?
(ホワイ・ドンチュ〜…)

文法的には疑問文なのですが、問いかけではなく提案です。「〜したら?」の意味になります。 Why don't you speak up? は 「言えばいいじゃん!」みたいな感じ。

これの応用で、動詞を省いた Why don't you? は 「そうすればぁ」とあっさり流す感じになります。 疑問文ですが催促の意味合いなので、語尾を下げて発音します。

“I'll take it.” ⇒ “Why don't you?”といった感じです。


I'm gonna... とか I will... とか、とかく自分の行動を公言する傾向が強いアメリカ人に対して、このフレーズでフォローしてあげると相手は大満足。
