That's certainly how I use it.


Once more (with feeling): Officially, the scope of {da} (its binding) runs out at the next unadorned {i} or similar break marker or at {da'o}, whichever comes first.  Informally, we allow it to continue for some indefinite period even after {i} (I'm less sure about the others, but {da'o} definitely kills it). The indefintie period is apparently as long as we keep in mind what {da} stood for.  A typical joke would surely be short enough, but maybe not a reasonable novel -- and almost surely not a multigenerational saga. --part1_b4.1132d2b.29146fc4_boundary--
