Does this sentence make ANY sense grammatically?

Am I not worth enough to be fought for?

Because the English Grammar, it is deserting me ;A; (For context: Minna is asking Viggy if she doesn't mean enough to him for him to fight for their relationship. And I want to keep "worth" in it. Because.)

I don't believe it's grammatically incorrect. :D But if it's of any help, I think "am I not worth enough to fight for?" sounds a bit more natural and less formal... i-if that makes any sense at all?

(Um - considering that I'm not a native English speaker myself, perhaps you should take this with a grain of salt. ;o;)

*butts in*

That is essentially the rephrase I'd have offered myself, so I think it's good.

Or, "Aren't I worth fighting for?" for a more casual feel.

Creepy, because I thought the same way too. The formal way, too.

But the not-formal one sounds good, too. Or, alternatively, a combination: "Am I not worth fighting for?"

Hm, the combination also sounds good... And sounds like something Minna would say. 8D Thank you very much~

8D Thank you~

Since it's Minna it shouldn't be too informal. (Now, Lina would say that, probably.)

That was my first thought too, but then the German passive bit me and I was "Wait! Maybe it's not like this? ;A;" And then I was confused. XD But thank you~ Now I have multiple options, even~
