ask return?

[Heidi]

Dear friends,

Do we say 'ask return'?

For example, if someone ask me a question, 'I don't think you should eat too much fried chicken', then I ask return, 'Why not?' ---Is it correct to say that?

Thank you!

You ask IN return, and in your example you should make sure you use a question.

If someone asks me the question, 'Do you think you should eat so much fried chicken?', then I ask in return, 'Why not?'
