→Datte (だった)
* "Dare '''datte''' binboo '''wa''' iya da" means "Nobody likes to be poor," or literally "Everybody poor (or poverty) does not like."
* "Dare '''datte''' binboo '''wa''' iya da" means "Nobody likes to be poor," or literally "Everybody poor (or poverty) does not like."
It can also be added to the end of something I am quoting, to express surprise, or disapproval, at what was said. It is like the English, "Oh really?" or "Can you believe it?". To use an example, "Boku '''wa''' okane nanka karite imasen '''yo''' '''datte'''. Wasureta '''no''' '''ka''' (As for him, money (something like that) (to borrow) never did really (can you believe). Forget did (he)?" or "He said he never borrowed money (from me), can you believe it?! Did he forget?" (The "?!" is to approximate the '''yo datte''' which indicates that I ''really'' disapprove of what he said.)
