Colloquial and literary way to say "then?"

[Pukhtoon]

What would be the colloquial and literary/formal way to say "then" as in:

"If you were here, then why didn't you tell me?"

(I am looking for then not than which is used for comparison only). Manana

[یاسمینه]

I would use نو in both versions.

I would use نو in both versions.

So, if I translated my sentence, it would be:

که دلته وی، نو، ولی دی ما ته نه وویل؟
(Ke dilta way, noo, wali day ma te ne wowaiyil?)

Does that sound right?

Also, is "نو" not used that often? I always have an inclination to say it when I speak but I never here others say it that much.

[Badlun]

some times no bya is used. bya can be the literal translation of then.

paroon de wayal che razam ba, no waley bya ra naghley?=yesterday you were saying that you will come then why you did not come?

paroon de wayal che razam ba, no waley bya ra naghley?=yesterday you were saying that you will come then why you did not come?

Manana. Is no and bya used often or not much when speaking? In writing?

[khushal]

bya = then
no bya = and then

[Haris]

bya = then
no bya = and then

In what context could no bya mean 'and then'? Could you provide a sentence as an example?


Wouldn't 'and then' be ao bya?
I agree that bya = then but I understand no bya to mean 'well then' or 'so then'.


i.e.

no bya maa tha be de weyalaywai = well then you could have told me.
no bya mugh tsa woku? = so then what should we do?
no tsa? = so what?
no tsenge ye? = so how are you?

"so" was a hard word to master, I see you had no problem with it.
