不是，你是想……吗 SPOKEN CHUNK

Wait, are you seriously thinking of...?

A highly frequent colloquial pattern used to challenge someone. It starts with 'bushi' (wait / hold on) to interrupt and register disbelief, followed by seeking confirmation about an absurd or unexpected intention.

Modal Particle「吗」 (ma) CHANGE OF STATE

Placed at the end of a sentence to form a yes-no question, combining with the opening contrastive word 'bushi' to heighten the tone of inquiry and verification.
