BaffoRasta Posted April 5, 2020 at 10:48 PM Report Posted April 5, 2020 at 10:48 PM Here's the dialogue I'm talking about; Line 1 and line 5 are from the same speaker, lines 2,3,4 are from a different speaker. If it might be useful (no clue) this is during a phone call. Thanks for your help! 1 Quote
Jim Posted April 6, 2020 at 03:09 AM Report Posted April 6, 2020 at 03:09 AM Would help to know relationships too but implication is they're all members of same family, appears to be child and mother. Going with that as an assumption: What about dad? Your dad is... You want to know where is he/what's he at? [人 can be used as a shorthand question to query status/whereabouts of someone] He's building a/fixing the pigsty. Well then I'll wait a couple of days before I come back to get it [literally just come back after two days but linking it to the news that dad is busy] ETA Just edited as saw I'd missed line three is from speaker of lines 2 and 4 1 Quote
