JLPT N2 Grammar

ものか

N2Negation

N2 · Negation · plain form + ものか / もんか

absolutely not; as if I would

plain form + ものか / もんか

Strongly denies something through a rhetorical question. もんか is more casual and often sounds angry, defiant, or firmly rejecting.

It is uncommon in formal writing and sounds strong in speech, so use it carefully.

こんな不公平な条件を受け入れるものか。

As if I would accept such unfair conditions.

Although it ends with か, it is not a normal question; it is a strong denial.

Think of ものか as 'No way that would happen.'
