Let's break down the components of the Greek phrase "οὐ μὴ πίω αὐτό" (ou mē piō autó):

1. "οὐ" (ou): This is a negation particle in Greek, indicating "not."
2. "μὴ" (mē): This is another negation particle, often used for stronger negation or prohibition. In combination with "οὐ," it reinforces the negation.
3. "πίω" (piō): This is the first-person singular aorist subjunctive active form of the verb "πίνω" (pinō), which means "to drink."
4. "αὐτό" (autó): This is a pronoun meaning "it/itself."

So, putting it all together:

• "οὐ μὴ" (ou mē): "not" (strong negation)
• "πίω" (piō): "I drink" (subjunctive form)
• "αὐτό" (autó): "it"

This, the phrase "οὐ μὴ πίω αὐτό" (ou mē piō autó) translates to "I will not drink it" or "no I will not drink." There is no interrogative in this verse. There is a strong negation.
