Ask a question of you
I have learn that 'I ask you a qestion' has same meaning with 'I ask a question of you'.
But I wonder why they use 'of' in the upper sentence inspead of 'to'.
Like this->"I ask a question to you"
For me using 'to' is more reasonable to make sense..
Plz help me out~!!

Hello, welcome, make yourself at home. In my opinion, "I ask you a question" is by far the most easily understood way to say this. "Ask a question of/to you" seems really awkward to me, however, I cannot mount an argument against them.
