JLPT N5 Grammar

ませんか

N5Obligation

N5 · Obligation · masu-form verb + せんか

won’t you; shall we

masu-form verb + せんか

ませんか uses a negative question form to make a gentle invitation.

Compared with ましょう, it asks more softly about the listener's willingness.

一緒にお茶を飲みませんか。

Would you like to have tea together?

The ません here is not a simple negative; it forms an invitation.

Think of it as 'would you like to...?'
