노

Southeastern dialect question ending

The southeastern question ending, instantly recognisable as Busan or Daegu speech: what does your father do, what are you doing, why did you call. In the dialect it pairs with 나, and the split is neat: this one is for questions containing a question word, and 나 is for yes-or-no questions. It sounds blunt and direct. Two lines here are false matches where the sound is the English no or part of another word.

Register: southeastern dialect; blunt
