The latter is, I suppose uninterestingly true, the former appears to be false or of uncertain -- and uncertainly obtainable -- truth value. So, as assertions, the advantage seems to lie with {ganai} form. But if this is something else than an assertion, it does seem to move over into the area of UI: intentions, hopes, and the like. |
