@Mlgc1998 Do you think we can use this word to replace "didn't", "hasn't" or "haven't" in every case? For example, if someone asked you if you bought eggs, can you say 我都無買? Mar vin kaiser (talk) 01:11, 17 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Mar vin kaiser I was wondering as well what more words to equate it with and if it matches more with a sort of past or present tense sort of equivalence to english grammar, like not sure the difference to just 無 like "我都無買" vs "我無買". is it hasnt'/haven't vs didn't?

@Mlgc1998: Well, I think the current definitions are definitely lacking. Based on how I understand what it means, "我都無買" would be "I didn't even buy" or "Di naman ako bumili". "我都無錢咯" would be "I don't even have money". It's like in Tagalog, "Wala naman akong pera e." --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 04:33, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Mar vin kaiser so "didn't even" or "hasn't even; haven't even"? Mlgc1998 (talk) 04:45, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Mlgc1998: That's what I think, based on how I understand it. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 05:32, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
