Questions and answers
Can 'also' be used at the beginning of a sentence?
While less common, 'aydan' can sometimes start a sentence for emphasis, but it's more natural at the end.
What's the difference between 'aydan' and 'kamaana'?
'Aydaan' is more general for 'also' or 'too'. 'Kamaana' means 'likewise' or 'similarly' and is used in more specific comparisons.
