Is a sentence ending with "か……。" a question or a questionative statement? I came across the following line inside a Japanese book I'm reading. > …… My understanding of the line is different depending on whether it would be a question (because of the ),. > For example, "However, why Ein and Zwei...?" Or would it be a ellipsis statement, (idk what the proper terminology is for this kind of statement) where the question is implied through the contemplative format of the sentence, but not stated outright: > Example: "However, Ein and Zwei..." TDLR: is a sentence ending with "……" a question or a questionative statement?

The correct term is rhetorical question, and yes, in this case it is a rhetorical question. Also there is no "why" in the Japanese sentence.

Japanese people often use like that, especially to confirm what has already been said, for example:

> A: = It's me!
>
> B: ... = So it's you (huh)...
