‘Boh!’ (New Italian grammar exercise on periodo ipotetico.)
‘Boh!’ is a useful word. First of all the pronunciation: ‘boh’ rhymes with ‘so’ or ‘go’, but maybe with less of that English sounding ‘oh’ sound, a mono vowel rather than a dipthong. Use the word when you have no idea, no clue, no proposal regarding what action to take. When you admit you are […]
