how do you say "what are you saying?" 2007/12/11 21:42
Hi,

I heard a phrase on dramas quite often, "nani ten dai you?"

The translation is always something like "what are you saying?" or "what are you doing?"

But I can't find what I think I hear in the dictionary. Does someone know what the actual phrase should be?

Thanks

Guy,

It would be ''nani itten da yo?'' which is a corrupted form of ''nani wo itteirun da yo?''
''What are you doing?'' would be ''nani yatten da yo?''.
