Notes:
-
'ba' is a question marker too, but carries
a different meaning as in 'ma' question. 'ba' is a suggestive, something
the speaker guesses or assumes.
-
When 'nl
rn' is asked, it usually
refers to which part of a country the person is from. This is similar to
'...sh zi
... chshng
de' (...to be born in ...')
