Tak Tahu Bahasa...



Demi utk capai matlamat menghabiskan audit Permit To Work , maka hari Ahad pun kena kerja - hence take the opportunity to audit in Kedah last Sunday + Monday. My visit to Kedah this time around taught me a thing or two about Kedah dialect / language.

1st photo was taken on the first floor of Pekan Rabu & the word is Peneram - you have to pronouce the ..ram in Peneram hard to sound like org Kedah. What is peneram? in Johor it's normally called denderam or telinga keling. The later is a bit sensitive & rarely use unless you are indoor - arwah atuk suka kuih ni. So this is the word you have to use to find this kind of delacy in Kedah.

2nd photo was taken when Afandi and I was looking for a place to have our dinner - At first we were taken back by the name of the place - Tat Nasi Ayam. We thought it is run by non-muslim for Tat is normally a Chinese name eg. Wong Tat Ming. But we were wrong! The restaurant belongs to a person with the name...Mokhtar. How on earth Mokhtar can be changed to Tat? Well...Kedahan is used to calling Mokthar with Mokhtat (without the 'r') or pasar become pasaq etc. Hence the place is Muslim's & we ate there.

Moral of the story -
1. ask if you don't know or else sesat jalan.
2. Mari belajar bahasa agar tidak menjadi orang yang tak tahu bahasa (more specific...dialect).
3.Bahasa Arab yg paling utama - bahasa ke 5 di dunia.
