try again wrote:in simplified chinese "为什么不呢?"
in traditional chinese"爲什麽不呢?"
it reads"wèi shén me bù ne".
I feel this phrase is not really Chinese. I mean it is not Chinese to say so and I would dare to think that it developped from the knowledge of the idiomatic English phrase and has not cultural Chinese background : Why not ?
On the contrary 没办法 is terribly Chinese and not something that we say all the time (in european languages).

How would you say 'Why not' in Cantonese ? I seem to never hear people saying such a thing in Cantonese.

en romani kalderash :

ajsar (plutot comme une interjection)
ako (en réponse à quelque chose, "oui, pourquoi pas")
Quand tu te lèves le matin, remercie pour la lumière du jour, la nourriture et le bonheur de vivre. Si tu ne vois pas de raison de remercier, la faute repose en toi-même.
Tecumseh, chef shawni
