I Don't Know, In Isaan Language

[AlexLah]

Hi all,

I am a bit confused about how to say : I do not know in Isaan (Kalasin) dialect.

My friend told me it is something like : Hek ie (e) yang you boh

But today the people in office told that means I do not know you.

Who is right, friend or office people?

Thanks for your advice

OK. according to my staff: Koi Bo Who

She said, "Hek ee yang" is "what are you doing?"

Confirmed sbk, only 'do' in Lao / Isaan is 'hed' and not 'hek'.
