Why Malaysian say Suka??

[Ha Kimi]

One of my Russian friend ask me. Why did Malaysian say "Suka", and then they smile?

Let me explain it to you. In Malay language, "Suka" means "to like/ like" .

Saya suka kamu
I like you

That's what "Suka" means for Malay speakers))

You can use it in Malaysia all the time. No one is going to blame you. Trust me.

You suka?

Ha Kimi, аahahah This is nice one. On Russian it has two meanings. First, (sorry for saying) it means "bitch/whore". Second, it means female gender of almost any animal, for instance, a dog

Thats why "suuka" sometimes sounds really funny for Russians))

[Ha Kimi]

Yes. Indeed. That's why I love Russian languages.

Well... i also found a word in bahasa that sounds funny in russian - isteri Easy to remember... that's one who loves to start "isterika"

[Vladimir MSIA]

So..and isterika means hysterics

also found malay word which tried not use in Malaysia. The word "Ibu" , means mommy, but on Russian it is an offensive .. even do not want to translate )

[Ha Kimi]

Not ibu. It is yeb** haha. You know a lot)

I don't know about histerika. I only know "isteri" mean "wife" .

Normal things happen. And you should know some normal word in Russian also have offensive word for Malay language.

So far I know this one,
Бабий.

"Babi" in Malay means "Pig" or to call someone useless. Sometimes people laugh when English speaker call "baby" for small child. In Malay language, "i" sound have same pronouns as Russian "и" . Not English "i". That's why.

"Babi" also can be use as enhance the effect, like how English speakers use "Fuck" . We can say, "Panas Babi" means "it is very fucking hot" . Or "Mahal babi" means "It is fucking expansive" . Well, it is still offensive for most of the speakers. Better to use it with your friends.

[Ha Kimi]

Oh ya. About the hysteria. Malay call is "Histeria" . Just like the exact in English. Only the spelling change.

And "Kakak" mean sister, my friend say it sound like "кака", mean "shit".

And when Russian say "Kak dela?" , Malay speakers who don't learn Russian will think that you asking them if they know some one name Dila. Dila one of short name for calling "Adilah" , Malaysian name for a girl. It also can be call, Didi, Dilah, ila, lala. Depends on their comfortable, make sure don't call people with something they don't like. I think it is normal for close friends, but for certain people , it is offense.

Because, "Kak" is shortform for "kakak" which is kind of respect to call elder person we don't know with that. Or "Bang" , short for "abang" means brother. But, "abang" also can be use to call husband, well. When a Russian girl call Malay guy within "abang" , it is kind of flirting.

So, learn and speak Malay. People will pay attention to you you, just like when you talking to Malaysian that speak Russian.
