So (Do) you like fish?
Hi everyone;
There is a educational CD for children to learn English. It's has many colorful and singing clips to teach them through funny ways.
In one of the songs they keep using sentences like this: "Do you like..." to teach children asking questions. As the song sings, the clip writes the sentences on the screen.
Somewhere in the song clip writes: "Do you like fish?" and the singer says "So you like fish?"
In the class children in ages between 5-7 keep asking that why singer said "So..., is it because of fish?"
We couldn't answer it if there is any logic behind it. Why singer pronouced it as "So you like...". Do anybody know?
Thanks

'So you like fish' = I see that you like fish. If the transcript reads 'Do you like fish', then it has either been written inaccurately or you have heard the CD voice incorrectly. However, your description of the CD does not make it clear what worries you about the lyrics.

It's a question sentence. "So you like fish?"... We listened it serveral times and it says "So you like fish?".
The unclear point was that why does it say "So you like fish?" while it's asking a question? The point which we couldn't explain to children. Think a song like this:
Do you like dove or eagle?
Do you like duck or goose?
Do you like... or ...?
Do you like... or ..

Bbk_agpFor adults we can simply say "it's a mistake", but children didn't accept it!But I don't think it is necessarily a mistake. It just seems a natural variation in the questioning.
Do you like fish? = I don't know; please tell me
So you like fish? = I think you do, please confirm it.
Or it could be So, do you like f
