User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hebu is not a conventional word but an interjection, an attention-getter than is followed by a call (suggestion) or imperative in a conditional tense (subjunctive voice); Hebu, twende! Hey, let's go! Hebu, tokeni! Hey, get out of here! Hebu, tuanze! Hey, let's get started. It's like English "hey" and some other interjections, You can't assign a meaning to it, nor is it used to call someone as "hey" often is in English. In fact, it is never used by itself.
