In asking questions \{°yeu tuh?}/ (有得) sometimes precedes a verb with
the sense, “is there to be had?” Thus \{°Yeu-tuh °ma va°?}/ (有得買否)
means, “Is there to be bought?” \{°Yeu-tuh chuh va°?}/ (有得吃否)
means, “Is there anything to eat?” The answers to these questions
would be \{°yeu-tuh °ma kuh}/ (有得買個), \{°yeu tuh chuh kuh}/
(有得吃個), “It can be bought.” “There is something to eat.”
\{’Veh pih}/ (勿必) means “It is not necessary.” Thus \{’Veh pih khok}/
(勿必哭), “It is not necessary to cry.” \{’Veh pih chi°}/ (勿必去), “It
is not necessary to go.”
\{Ih ngan ’veh}/ (一顏勿) before the verbs means, “Not at all.” Thus
\{°Ngoo ih ngan ’veh °hyau-tuh}/ (我一顏勿曉得) means, “I do not know at
all.” \{Ih ngan ’veh zung khoen°-kyien° hyih}/ (一顏勿曾看見歇) means,
“I have not seen it at all.” \{Ih ngan ’veh iau° khoen°}/ (一顏勿要看)
means, “I do not want to see it at all.”
