In conversations, people often use phrases like you know what not to ask a real question but to share something important. It's like saying, Listen, I have something to tell you.
For example, if someone says, You know what? I love ice cream, they don't expect you to guess; they are just excited to tell you about their love for ice cream.
Why does Brian say, But you know what demotivates me sometimes?
To ask Maria a question about demotivation
Remember, you know what is used more for sharing, not for asking.
To tell Maria something about himself
To test Maria's knowledge on demotivation
Brian is sharing his feelings, not testing Maria.
To change the subject of the conversation
He's adding to the conversation, not changing the topic.
