Contexto cultural
Asking questions is often seen as a sign of respect for the speaker's knowledge, provided it is done at the right time. Questions are encouraged immediately. 'Thinking' about a question is less common as a verbalized process. Directness is valued. Preparing a question is seen as being efficient. Similar to Japan, there is a strong emphasis on 'saving face', so preparing a question is a way to avoid asking something 'silly'.
