Hi Asia Finest,

Would like to know what the following sentences mean as I can't speak Bahasa and I suspect that there might be some usage of Bahasa gaul.

sumpeh deh ...... ngakak abis

ngakak soal apaan nih

makin ngakak

baru tau rasa kau

Thanks

have no idea
im not indonesian though
but sumpah is swear in Malaysia..i dunno about sumpeh though

@cloudrunner: Definitely a mix of bahasa gaul.
@Yana: I think sumpeh is sumpah as well.

Here's my take - I'm not Indonesian too, so Indonesian AFers may feel free to correct me.


sumpeh deh ...... ngakak abis = I swear... laughed like mad (ngakak = a boisterous laugh... something like LOL? I think in this case the Internet equivalent would be 'LMAO')

ngakak soal apaan nih = What are you laughing about?

makin ngakak = Laughing even more (more LOL)

baru tau rasa kau = Now you know how it feels

Perfect translation CD...

Phew. Thanks Maja

ngakak, sumpeh... i learn cognates everyday, i should write it down, since no else will... but us who speaks it lol

hhhhmmmmm.... who are you spying on mr./ms.cloudrunner ??
