Do you not mind helping me with my homework?

Where I live, we say "Do you not mind helping me with my homework?"

Do native speakers use "Do you not mind"?

Thanks.

Yes, but it normally suggests that the person is already doing/undergoing that thing, and that the speaker expected them to mind it. " Do not confuse with "Do you mind not (doing something)" which is a not-exactly-polite way of asking someone to stop doing something.

Yes, but it normally suggests that the person is already doing/undergoing that thing, and that the speaker expected them to mind it. This is not a way of asking someone for help; for that, use "Do you mind helping me with my homework?"
