Dear JB and friends,

there is an answer key to the book available for purchase. Please
check this page for details:

http://www.tipitaka.net/store/store.php?store=2

Alternatively, I have compiled a separate set of answers on this
site: http://www.tipitaka.net/pali/palidd/

For the particular sentence, 'pucchanti' is questioning or asking,
hence, "paƱhe pucchanti" means "asking questions".


metta,
Yong Peng

So, is there an answer key out there? And, what about this
sentence?:

"Amaccaa pa.n.ditehi pa~nhe pucchanti."

Pa~nha and pucchanti are both "question," so "questions questions",
while technically doable in English, doesn't seem quite right, and
it's not what is given for "ask" (yaacati). I did it as "The
ministers put questions to the wise men." Is that a reasonable read?
