Proposed Definition of ji

ji (A)

Examples of ji Usage

.i do djica tu'a lo jipci ji tu'a lo finpe

Do you want chicken or fish or both or neither or ...?

A possible answer could be "na.e", meaning "Not the chicken, the fish." But it can actually get even weirder, because ".a nai", for example, is perfictly valid, and would mean something like "I want fish only if I also want chicken". And you can always answer with a simple ".a" if you want to be obstinate and give no useful information.
