Question word ellipsis


> じゃあんたはなりたいか

Is this the same as じゃあんたは何になりたいか but with 何 implied? I'm thinking it might be
like in English where a teacher might say to a child "and you want to be ...?"
with rising intonation, expecting the child to complete the sentence by saying
"a doctor" for example.




It doesn't sounds to me like there would be an implied 何 there. I think it
means just literally "well then, do you want to become [one]?"

Would be easier to say for sure with some context about the conversation, i.e.
were they talking about becoming something specific before that.
