In this paper we shall define a generalised A-quadratic form and prove that in some way this form and an A-bilinear form are equivalent to each other. Our result characterises that of Vukman in the sense that we use any n vectors for a fixed n ≥ 2, instead of any two vectors. Consequently, a new generalisation of an inner product space among vector spaces is obtained. This also leads to a new relationship between a 2-inner product space and a 2-normed space.
