PORTRAIT | Eh Tangahnya .. Anticipating ni ...

... In English .. we say ... Uncles or Aunts for our parents siblings or their level within .... then ... Sisters .. or Brothers ... but the thing is .. we don't know whether ... he is the older brother .. or younger brother ... or younger sister .. or youngest aunt ... or eldest uncle .. or what ...

.. where as in Malay .. we say "Tua Laki/Bini" for the eldest uncle/aunt .. and the youngest would be "Bungsu" or "unchu" or "usu" .. or the like .. then in between the eldest and the youngest .. in Malay we have .. Amit, Tangah, Iring, Asai, Uda ... hmmm... but not really sure about their arrangement thou .. which one comes first ... as different communities have their own interpretation ...

.. where as .. for older brother ... we call Abang .. or Kaka for older sister ... thou the elderly also use the term "ka" for their elder bro or family members .... whereas for the younger sibling ... we call them Adik .. or Adi ...

.. and to address "stranger" in Brunei .. instead of Mister or Ms .. we say "Awang" for man .. or "Dayang" for woman ....


.. hmmm... eh Mister DJ ... emangnya gimana sih...? ngak mau diputaren lagu eyah ...? ...
