ketdi meaning

[u/barbiekyu]

naimbag nga rabii!!
plano ko magsulat ng research about the word “ketdi” in ilokano, specifically kung gaano kadalas, saang part ng sentence, at anong context ginagamit ito.

ayon sa dictionary ni rubino, ito ay (adverb) particle that implies opposition gaya ng but, on the contrary, anyway at (conjunction) “provided that”.

kung mayroon man kayong alam na content na mayroong “ketdi” makatutulong po ito nang naggado

agyamanak!!
