- <p>When 吧 (ba) is used twice in a sentence, it is used to list two
- options that the speaker is debating. It gives the sentence an
- indecisive feel, as though the speaker doesn't know which one to
- choose. This construction often has a negative connotation, since
- the options usually are not ideal.</p>
