Question

difference between why aren't you playing and why are you not playing?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Suppose some boys are playing football in the field. While going to the market, I see my brother standing beside the field and watching them playing. So at this moment,

what am I supposed to ask my brother?

a. Why don't you play?

b. Why are you not playing?

Also

Do the examples above carry the same meaning and can be used interchangeably?

And

If not carrying the same meaning, then in which situations could I use them?

The "Why don't you" form can be used equivalently to the "Why do you not" form; the emphasis used when asking will make clear which meaning is intended. (For the suggestion, the emphasis is on "here"; for the question, the stress is on "come" or possibly on "don't".)
