Ai da em?
What about that one?
I like this sentence. It surprised me when I created it. It's not the way I normally think in language.
Ai is a question marker. It is used when the next word is not a verb. In this case it is the pronoun da, so that is grammatical. Ai and a, which comes before verbs in questions, are borrowed from Welsh. Em is another pronoun introduced in this dialogue modifying da so it becomes that one (of them) or that one (of two).
A question made of two pronouns. I like it!
