Don't get me wrong I do understand BM, after all I live in Malaysia and we learn BM for 12 years of our schooling life.

Sometimes i get these orders or enquiries in BM which i totally don't mind.But some of them come in short forms which i dont get at all!

Once i got this

hai sys. igt me x? btul keh ni dari ovrsea?
nk tnya leh sya dpt disk sbb ku ni nk bli lbh dari 1.
jika xleh sya bik 1 je.klu blh plZz let me know.thanxXX
I wouldnt call my BM bad.But i totally didnt understand this(besides the last sentence) and had to ask a friend to translate it for me! SO embarrassing! blush*

I guess I'm not Malaysian after all :(

    Thanks to the writer who wrote this. I've got some orders in BM too. I don't mind them using BM at all, I can even reply them in BM. Not a problem for me at all.(I got A1 for BM in SPM mind you) Just that I don't speak BM often and can't understand their every short form. It's quite frustrating sometimes that I need to guess what they are saying. Can't they just write proper BM?

    hmmm.. normally i'll just reply "sorry i dont understand what you mean" cause seriously.. not everyone understand short hand especially in bm.
    i think buyers should use proper language, BM or english, especially if you're dealing with customers or sellers..

    i think bahasa pasar or whatever you call it should be kept to your own friends & families.

    no offence though. =)

    Sys = SIS kot?

    Some Malays love using 'Sis' to address someone, instead of 'babe', 'hun', 'love' etc.

    Just a thought. Nothing to argue :D

    if you don't mind me barging in =)
    i think sys does means sis. maybe the translator just put in sayang so that it doesnt sound much of bahasa pasar or something, i think :D lol. but usually from where i come from, the teens usually spell sis as sys, it's like the trend to replace 'I's with 'Y's. (i guess? =] )

    just sharing my thoughts ya :)

    amanda: I don't think she meant to show off. She was just trying to translate the sentences. Why are you so worked up about that? It's not like you can type proper english anyway..lol
