Isn't it rude when Helena uses her phone?
- I want you to agree with me.

Aren't you going to eat dessert?
Don't you want to take a break?

---

Why don't you have some dessert?

The answer to a negative question is the same as to the positive question:

Aren't you from Brazil?
- Yes, I am. / No, I'm not.

The meaning of negative questions is similar to tag questions:
You are from Brazil, aren't you?
