very interesting:
the albanian expresion "what is?" should be so far I know:
"c^e'është?"
the romanian one is "c^e este"
if we look at them we could say they are identical:
"c^ është" = "c^e este"
But they shouldn't be the same expresion. It is said, the Romanian
"este" is from Latin and "ce"=what, from Latin "que" too.
We have here a nice example not of false friends but of false riends as
whole expresion made by two words. Who will say is easy to see which is
the right way in the linguistic world?
BTW which is the origin of this "c^:" in albanian? Too the latin "quid"?
