| Comments: | Note the "chn" on this sense - "children's language". You've heard kids saying things like "xxxxxx, yes" when they want confirmation? That's all this is showing. I think you've over-analyzed it, and the revised gloss gets away from what it really is. |

| Comments: | I am not sure how one can "strengthen" one's judgment by the use of an additional sound in the communication. In my way of thinking, the communicator simply uses the additional sound to emphasize his or her belief in the value of the judgment being expressed. The actual judgment being expressed does not become better or worse in quality depending upon the additional sound being added [i.e., "だい"] or not added. My change is a little wordy, but if you agree with the point then I am sure a simplification will jump to your mind. [Perhaps I should add "だい" to the last comment to emphasize the point that I really believe that you will find a simpler way of stating what I have stated. Perhaps you will state that the addition of "だい" cetainly does not add strength to my judgement; it is simply an obvious conclusion.] |
