Thank you.

In the US, this is non-standard, but might be used to mean, "Can I go in?", provided that you gesture with your hand, pointing to the door, while saying "Go in?" This would usually be understood, especially if you have a foreign accent and are obviously not a native English speaker.

I suppose, if you use a lot of sign language to demonstrate your point, but that's not speaking English.
