That’s rash city, Jake, rash city!
The first two have emphasis that imply something different than a simple question. Like you are asking a bunch of people individually, and you are directing each question at a specific person.
The last one would maybe be like, if the person did something weird, and you were sarcastically asking where the are from, to imply that they were raised by wolves, or something like that.
Point being, yes, you can ask like that, but it has different connotations than a simple question, which I think is where you would use the rising intonation.
I’m totally with you. I think it is somewhat speaker dependent, but that is how I would say those questions.
What’s your NAme
How OLD (are you)?
Where are you FROm?
I guess in this example, “who is your daddy?” Is the main question, which has a somewhat flat intonation, but contrasted to the emphasis in the second half of the sentence, it feels like a rise
Could you give some specific examples of questions in English that would not be asked with a rising tone at the end?
24fps vision is a lie told by Hollywood so they can save on film
Good luck getting consistent cuts while you’re freehanding. The idea is to make the nice flat cat scratching pad, and also being able to make the tool with the tool printer you have at home
I guess Reading is not his strong suit
Always wanted to learn, and I have a deck!
I learned recently that there’s a word for this, which is “thought-terminating cliche”
I feel like the old guys in my area just talk about their health problems 😂
Something to look forward to, I suppose
Can we call such police “Starmtroopers”?
Some are only 30 cents! At least they were…
I agree, cash is fun in Germany. I think it really helps that the 1 and 2 euro coins are available and used in circulation. It was so nice going into the Späti and buying a beer with a single coin.
Change feels unnecessary in the States since the highest denomination that’s widely circulated is the quarter dollar. There are dollar coins, but they are hardly ever used.
Is it so surprising that someone might feel that way?

Right, the ones at campus protests were definitely police, so at least that part makes sense
It says if you can read the sign, you’re in range. It’s an anomaly, after all.
