why is that 'asking' a question is easier than 'answering' one?

Answer 1

We are never too old to learn! There is always something you don't know.
The words of a question are framed by your need to know, whereas, answering a question requires the words to be put into order.

Answer 2

If you ask a question,it's easier but if you answer a question it is a whole lot harder b/c you have to think of what to say.

Answer 3

God has made us in such a way that when we see a new thing we try to make pressure on our mind unless and until we come to knw about the details of that particular thing , we try to ask others.Like we see small childrens ask many questions...........what is this?....why it is like this?........For this type or any other questions we cant hav a quick answer.For example:If any one say why the Moon is spherical in shape then we cant hav any answer for this .......we say by nature i.e; God has made the Moon spherical so the moon is spherical.

Answer 4

There is a concept in your mind which is familiar to you when you are asking a question whereas when you are giving an answer then you have to think about every aspect of the question which is very much unfamiliar to you.

Answer 5

To answer a question you have to have the know how. To ask you don't know the answer so it is easy to ask.

Answer 6

Because when answering you have to either have a good imagination (in some cases) or know the answer.

Answer 7

There is a greater lack of knowledge and more curiosity resulting in more questions than there is knowledge to answer.

Answer 8

In the vast expanse of knowlege people know far less than they do know. So to know somthing you have to ask a question.

Answer 9

ONE CAN ASK A QUESTION WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT. BUT, THE ANSWERER, NEEDS TO BE THOROUGH ABOUT THE SUBJECT.

Answer 10

One has to, if he really is desirous of learning the answer.
