zhwj Posted August 24, 2011 at 07:45 AM Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 at 07:45 AM Like jbradfor's link says, you could read it as "What for"? 甚 here is an interrogative pronoun, like 什么. Dictionaries usually identify it as "dialect", but I'm not sure which region it is found in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbradfor Posted August 24, 2011 at 01:15 PM Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 at 01:15 PM That link says that 作甚 means the same as 做什么, and gives a quote from 红楼梦 that uses it. I assumed that if you can read 作甚, you could read that link. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
