"Does he not want ice water?"

Translation: 他不要冰水吗？

[loullilou]

I thought se can
他要不要 instead of 他要。。。吗

[MShecket]

Maybe it's different because it's phrased as "doesn't he want..." as opposed to "does he want..."

[fredburma]

My only reasoning for this too

[Slade366]

我也觉得这个

[thegarbageman46]

I got caught too.I think when you word it that way you are saying does he or doesn't he want it.

[Jingzhe4]

It tricks you by saying 不要

[AustinNich392577]

I thought to negate 要 you should use 不想 instead？

[PhilTown]

Why is 想 not allowed to be used?

[sZXX11]

要不要 can not use why
