When a detective find some idea by himself, he would say "MATEYO?:may I think it again?" to himself.

If the detective find someone suspected, he would say "O!?: (can not be translated)" to himself. In this case "MATEYO?" can not be used.

No one would say "Chotto Matte" in these cases because it is used only to other person(s).


Language makes Culture and Culture makes Language.
