“他跟同学去打篮球”

So far I've only seen 跟 ... 一起. Is there an explanation for why she doesn't use 一起 here?

你好。

In the expansion, one sentence says: 宝宝在哭, 可能是饿了。

Isn't 俄 an adjective/adjectival verb? I thought 是 is used between nouns? I was thinking this sentence would've been something like 可能很饿.

Are 对不起(duìbuqǐ) and 不好意思(bùhǎoyìsì) fairly interchangable? Are there situations where you would use one but not the other?

Sorry, I was referring to the pinyin program episode about the Shanghai dialect adding the 'er final. John called it "piratization" to help people remember it. It's at http://chinesepod.com/lessons/pinyin-the-final-r-sound

Are zher/nar and zheli/nali interchangeable? From the note at the bottom of the NCIKU entry (http://www.nciku.com/search/zh/detail/%E8%BF%99%E5%84%BF/54440), it seems like they're only different in dialect (the former being the Shanghai-nized/"piratized" form).
