If you are overwhelmed, just say 'Gottilla'. It's the polite way to say you don't understand or don't know something. Locals find it charming!

The Alla Trap

Don't use 'illa' to say 'I am not a student.' That requires 'alla.' Use 'illa' only for existence/possession.

よくある質問 (6)

The simplest way is just to say illa. It works in most contexts where you are answering a yes/no question about an action or existence.
Yes! In spoken Kannada, maadilla (did not do) is very common. It combines the verb root with illa to show the action didn't happen.
No, it stays exactly the same. Whether you are saying 'one book is not here' or 'ten books are not here,' you use 'illa'.
Add the question marker '-va' to get 'illava?'. For example, 'Ninage car illava?' (Don't you have a car?)
No, these are for negative statements. Use standard interrogatives for questions.
It can be singular or plural depending on the verb.
