Kata Kunci: Question Mark

Definisi: A question mark is a punctuation symbol (?) used at the end of a sentence to indicate that the sentence is a question or an inquiry. It serves to signal to the reader that a response or answer is expected.

Penggunaan:

The question mark is primarily used in written English to denote interrogative sentences. For example: “What time is it?”
It can also be used in informal writing to express doubt or uncertainty about a statement, such as: “He said he was arriving at 5 PM?”

Etimologi: The term “question mark” originates from the combination of the words “question,” which derives from Latin “quaestio” (meaning “query” or “inquiry”), and “mark,” from Old English “mearc,” meaning “boundary” or “sign.” The symbol itself evolved from the Latin word “quaestio,” which was abbreviated in medieval manuscripts, leading to its current form.
