What does this sentence "Are you mechanical?" mean?
Does "Are you mechanically inclined" have the similar meaning to the above sentence?
Could you tell me the exact meaning? |

"Are you mechanical?" literally means: "Are you lacking thought or spontaneity; working or produced by machines etc.
"
In this case it is probably an incorrect way of asking, "Are you mechanically inclined?" |

It's similar to
"Are you a robot"?
