How do you use silly in a question?

Here are some ways to use "silly" in a question, depending on the context and tone you want to convey:

Directly questioning something's silliness:

* "Isn't that a silly idea?" (Implies you think it's silly)

* "Do you think that's silly?" (Open-ended, seeking the other person's opinion)

* "Why is it silly to wear mismatched socks?" (Challenging a perceived notion of silliness)

Using "silly" to express playful curiosity:

* "Silly question, but how many stars are there in the sky?" (Adding humor to a factual inquiry)

* "What's the silliest thing you've ever done?" (Inviting playful sharing)

* "Do you think it's silly to sing in the shower?" (Asking about a common behavior)

Using "silly" to express disbelief or amusement:

* "Are you being silly, or are you serious?" (Questioning someone's intentions)

* "Did you really do that? How silly!" (Expressing amusement)

* "Isn't it silly how much we laugh at this?" (Reflecting on the absurdity of a situation)

Remember: The tone of your voice and the context of the conversation will greatly impact how your question is perceived.
