On jboselkei, Yanis attempted to translate "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
but he doesn't know the English idiom of attaching "anyway" to a
question.
Attempting to explain it to him has confused me. I think it means that
the question being asked is at a deeper level than whatever the
conversation was about before. "Anyway" might be synonymous with "in
any case" or "after all." Would we translate it with {.uanai}?
