I’d say you’ve got a pretty good grasp of the difference.
“Am I notsupposed to have Ads?”
This means you think you are supposed to have Ads (whatever that is), but apparently you unexpectedly don’t have Ads and you are now questioning that fact. So, yes, this may well be a bit more “crankily asked” than the second sentence.
“Am I supposed tonot take part in the meeting?” (NOTE: My preference would be to put the word notafter the word to.)
You are asking a more straightforward (neutral) question here.
By the way, I’d also say there would be a difference in “degree of crankiness” depending on whether the speaker starts off with a contraction or not. :shiock: For me, using the contraction makes it sound more neutral because it would be the more standard format in spoken English:
Amn’t doesn’t sound awkward, it only sounds wrong.
But I’m sure the awkwardness of trying to say something as unpronounceable as amn’t is exactly the reason the use of aren’t in such sentences began.
Saying “aren’t I ?” is absolutely standard. 1000% correct for this negative question.
