often used for 反語的 − rhetorical questions (contributor: dc)
this phrase with 'mono' really sticks out as very different from the
others (monono/monoda) as it contains a strong negative (contributor: dc)
I can't help myself ^^
させるもんかああ？！！ヘタクソ！！

found a few more examples but they dont seem to be inline... (contributor:

I think most (all?) sentences by dbx (and one by bamboo4) are just quoted
questions and do not belong here. I think the strongly negative ものか
needs to be at the end of a sentence, AFAIK. BTW, ものか may be changed
to もんか in 話し言葉 or
(contributor: halx)
i think i agree with halx (contributor: ackry)
third with halx
or rather, i suggest creation of the separate entry for 'ものかな'
(which seems a better example of what hesitatious 'may be' to me)

monoka is zettai shinai no koto desu ne.same as mai.
some of the sentences does not have that nuance i think. (contributor:
jayati)
cleaned up the irrelevant examples.. (contributor: dc)
I translate ものか to 'As if...?' or 'Like I...?' rhetorical denials in
spoken English. For example:
#6565[As_if_I_would_go_a_store_like_that_twice!?]
#268[Like_I_would_give up!?_I'm_going_to_fight_to_the_very_end!]
