No, meanings have questions! Why- means to ask a question, means is the key word here, you know means, meanings. Understand? Why? etc.etc.............................!

Because!...lol. Questions are tools used for many different purposes. 1. To find out what others know. 2. To validate that you know more or less than the answerer. 3. To organize and label information 4. To ask for assistance 5. To fill up awkward silences b/c people are frightened quiet. The meaning of questions lie in the intent of the questioner.

Have you studied the Japanese word MU
it means there isn't a question becasue there isn't an answer.
Also, there isn't an answer becasue the question is full of preconcieved thoughts that prevent a true answer.
Sorry my spell check isn't working

Expression. Words and language are symbolic things that represent thoughts.

Questions have meaning by their loadedness. Just look around at the questions here.
A good one is:
'Have you stopped beating your wife' answer yes or no.
Try it.
