The original ends in a question mark, shouldn't the translation end in the same way ?

não viu ? »» did you not see(that) ?

Freya:
That "viu" at the end of a sentence has the intonation of a question, but it isn't really a question, I mean, nobody expects there will be an answer.
The sentence, actually lacks a comma. It should be: ....e não era só por beijar não, viu?
So, what I mean is that the sentence as a whole is not a question and if we put a question mark at the end, in English, it will be a question.
Do you know what I mean?
