IPA: [t̚te̞ba̠] Forms: tteba [romanization]
Etymology: In modern Japanese, an emphasis of てば (teba), itself a contraction of と言えば (to ieba), from quotative particle と (to) and the conditional conjugation 言えば (ieba) of verb 言う (iu, “to say”). Literally means, “if that's what [someone] says / said”. Also used idiomatically to mean something along the lines of, “if that's what [I / you / someone] said, then [that's what I really mean / why won't you agree with me]”.
