English
A quanswer is a question where the intended answer is already implied or expected. For example, when a speaker asks, "Do you want to take out the garbage?", they are really only expecting an affirmative answer as anything otherwise would be considered an unacceptable response. As illustrated in the example above, a quanswer can often be considered a polite demand rather than an actual request.

In other instances, a quanswer can be used effectively to state a person's wishes in the form of a question (e.g., "You're not wearing that, are you?"). Here, the speaker has clearly indicated his or her expectation while, somewhat humorously, allowing the recipient a response.
