I disagree. I think "UI dai nai" says explicitly that my feeling of UI is mine 
alone; to say that my feeling of UI is equal to what I feel you (or someone 
else) feel, I'd say "UI dai cu'i".

"pei" is a special case. "pei" asks whether you feel an emotion, so "pei dai" 
asks whether you feel someone else (possibly I) feels an emotion.
