format: Adj. + 不 + Adj.
example: 他 帅 不 帅 ？
details: this pattern is called 正反问句 (zhèng-fǎn wènjù) and is a common way to form questions in Chinese. It is to first use an adj. in the positive, then repeat the same adj. in its negative form, similar to how in English we can say, "Is this park beautiful or is this park not beautiful?" This sentence pattern feels a lot more natural in Chinese than those admittedly awkward English equivalents.
