A disguised interrogative sentence is an interrogative sentence that does not require an answer or does not seek an explanation, but rather a question sentence Questions that have the intention of inviting, pleading, agreeing, insinuating and so on. Example:

How about next month our family vacation in Bali? (meaning to invite)
How about tomorrow you accompany me to the bookstore? (has the intention of asking or pleading)
Can you spare a little time to answer my question? (means pleading)
Do you not have ears, so that you do not hear his words? (has a satirical intent)
Didn't we agree to wear blue clothes? (has the intention of agreeing)
At my wedding, are you willing to be the guest? (means pleading)
How many years have you not eaten that your mouth has not stopped chewing? (has a satirical intent)
How could we refuse your presence at the event? (has the intention of agreeing)
