''va'o'' is the modal of ''vanbi'', and describes the environment in which an event takes place. This means it could sometimes translate English ''where...'' or ''while...'' However, some people have extended this sense in order to use it as a modal for "if", even though [[jbocre: bai|bai]] and [[jbocre: ja'e|ja'e]] do a better job of that.<br />
<br />
va'o was once very commonly used by people who opposed [[jbocre: ganai, gi|ganai, gi]]. I haven't seen it much anymore.<br />
<br />
Many of the arguments for ''va'o'' show up under [[jbocre: ganai, gi|ganai, gi]]. ''Actually, they're probably better considered as arguments '''against''' [[jbocre: ganai, gi|ganai, gi]].'' This argument against ''va'o'' was in the '''va'o''' section of the huge ''if'' page:<br />
