gawguy Posted April 15, 2003 Report Share Posted April 15, 2003 I am a little confused about the question words "tammai" and "arrai." I seem to hear them used as statement words the same as English "why" and "what." Can they be used that way? Can you give an example or two? I want to be able to say "that's why..." when something has happened and I want to use it as a reason. Like the gf's cell phone rings 3 times when we are "in the midst." "That why I don't want a cell phone!" Thanks, GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 16, 2003 Report Share Posted April 16, 2003 ·Óäà = is a straight forward "why?" a question!!! ÃÃäà = is a straight forward "what?" a question!!! "why" in that's why is does not constitute a question, but is more like "because of", or "for that reason". in that case one should use "à ¾ÃÒà (©Ã¹Ñé¹)" or "à ¾ÃÒà (©Ã¹Õé)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
