Before our daily 18:30 meeting, my colleague, who was preparing the presentation for the meeting, suddenly raised his head, and asked me,

“J-san, what does ‘Nandaro’ mean?”

I replied,

“what is it…”

“I hear N-san often say ‘Nandaro.’ What does it mean?”

“Yeah, it means what is it.”

“I think it’s a Japanese word. What is it.”

“Exactly, what is it.”

“No, I am asking…!”

Another college of us in the room got what I meant from the beginning but he had been watching our comical conversation. In the end, he could not stand it, and started laughing, which explained everything.
