Sombong Siot

“Sombong siot, tulis email dalam English, die igt die habis bagus”

Memang, memang aku habis bagus. Kau yang malas nak bace dalam English, kau plak nak kecoh. Bukannya aku pakai ayat-ayat yang ‘tebabo‘. Setiap garisan mudah difahami. Kalau kau kata kau nak tolong Melayu, then by all means, remove me from your list. I’m not a sympathetic Malay. I can live without your contract.

It would’ve been much easier if you told me you want it in Malay. Dumbass!

ps: Some people chose to be morons. What a waste of air.

client Ed gomen kut, sbb tu sensitif emails in english rather in malay?

NoktahHitam replied #1

Not gomen, I sent in English because it was much faster for me to compose/write. Malay bukan tak boleh, tapi byk term kene pakai “natang ni”.

Sombong ke tulis dalam English? Lawak betol.

But, if he/she sent me an email in Malay, I would reply in Malay.. if in English, I would reply in English.. In Chinese, I can’t read Chinese, sorry.

If it’s an official kinda letter, other than government departments, I would write in English.

Hi emila! Nice of you to drop by. Love your work :P

Tu la, kerja 2 kali adalah kerje bodoh :cry:

That is why, Ed! I speak in Malay but I wrote in English (although grammar berterabur yang amat). It’s a way to better myself in English and also to cater to readers from the other side of the world. I’m too lazy to write in Malay and then later tranlate it in English. Kerja dua kali :)

i rasa orang tu rasa rendah diri tatau english kut. huhu.

anyway eddie, we all come across these kind of shallow minded morons once in a while.

yg aku pelik, asal lah makhluk2 ni suka salahkan bahasa. padehal diri sendiri tanak blaja bahasa tu. cuba ko tulis dalam spanish ke ape, sure dia tak kata sombong.

Reply to This comment


NoktahHitam replied #1

Orang itu memang rendah, tak payah rendah diri dah.

Spanish? Tak yah susah2, tulis in English pastu suruh encik google translatekan.

ZOMG! What a douche bag that client is!

I wonder how did you reply him afterwards

waniee wrote on May 22, 2009 #18

bukan kau yang sombong, NH.
diorang yang sombong, tak mahu belajar bahasa lain.

kalau aku pun, kalau untuk bisnes, aku tulis email dalam english la jugak. walaupun klien tu melayu. sebab aku rasa terma-terma (terms) bisnes lagi susah nak translate bahasa melayu.

boleh translate, tapi nanti aku balik yg tak faham.

Haha, I get that all the time. The thing is with my field, once translated into Malay, everything gets lost in translation because its really a lot of technical terms. Eg: “Feedback Mechanism” is “Mekanisma Suapbalik” in Malay. Wth?! Shouldn’t it be Mekanisma Maklumbalas? I mean I love the Malay language, honestly, but when it comes to commercializing research, it just confuses everyone.

Zaza wrote on May 25, 2009 #24

true. Everything is in English now in this modern world. Not that Malay language is bad, it is just not at the point where most people would understand. Brace up yourself, learning new things doesn’t mean you forgot your identity.

btw, die kutuk ko depan2 ke?
