I don’t knowとまず結論を述べてから、
その内容としてwhat you are talking aboutを足します。
これらの2つを比べてみましょう。
B. I don’t know [what you are talking about].
AのWhat…?は疑問文ですが、これに対して、
Bのwhat…は「間接疑問」と呼びます。
間接疑問とは、疑問文を別の文に埋め込んだものです。
ただし、そのときには倒置(主語がbe動詞や助動詞の後ろに来る)をせずに、ふつうの文(=平叙文)と同じ語順になります。
疑問詞(what, when, where, howなど)で始まるWH-節(SVを含む情報のカタマリ)を名詞のカタマリとして、文中で使うことができます。この節は、「…か(ということ)」という意味になります。
Let’s learn how to use indirect questions, which embed a question in a sentence by placing the subject before the verb after a question word, to express things like “what,” “when,” or “whether” more politely or indirectly.
“Could you tell me how your day was?”
「どんな1日だったか教えてくれますか?」
「試験でどんな問題が出るかだれにもわからない。」
