ahyo!

[AainaA]

in malaysian, it means "oh Wow!" or if said in another tone, it could mean "you twit!" in not so many words.. what would your typical city / town / village "oh wow" be said in? slang / argot / whatever....

c'mon let's have some verbal coloda shall we?

 

[Chroder]

"Umm, sweet!"

 

[ian]

I use that word, only I write it as ayooooooo, hehehe
I didnt know it was a real word.
Some friends of the family used to come to australia and stay with us on occasion, they were from Malaysia, and the boy, when ever something went wrong he would always say ayooooo, but I guess it is spelled ahyo. Anyhow it stuck and I use the expression from time to time.

I generally use the @#$% word... it's so versatile

 

[[tab]]

Examples:
"@#$%!!!" = Wow/cool...
"Oh @#$%" = Oh no/that's bad...

I don't know if any of you guys have seen "Firefly", but I love how they curse in Chinese...

 

[zkiller]

the irish are on a whole different level of cursing. it's quite entertaining as well.

 

[AainaA]

duh... eh? cursing? in Malay or chinese, or Indian, or even french, it sounds terrible, but I can imagine it in german or irish... the way the words just drool out of the mouth, not to mention the body language

 

[zkiller]

well, it seems that those whom don't speak german, anything said in german sounds quite horrible... so i can only imagine.

 

[AainaA]

LOL... i was at a bookstore just now, wanted to buy a book, but everywhere I turned, I am prompted to see books written in german. That is really odd!! Finally went to the Language section, and decided to get German for Dummies. I was shocked when I saw the price. Exhorbitant. Its cheaper to buy online these days, and from Amazon.de or dotcom...

German? What am I thinking??

 

[zkiller]

german... why would anyone want to learn german... it's a horrible language IMHO!

 

[AainaA]

exactly... i was thinking to myself the same question... anyways... ive been getting "germanised" these days by many people...

 

[zkiller]

does many people include me? i sure hope not... lol

 

[AainaA]

hope not!

 

[zkiller]

huh... you don't know wether i was influence or not?

 

[AainaA]

you yes, the other too

 

[zkiller]

so, i was in an influence? good or bad?

 

[AainaA]

it must have been good for me to consider learning gremlin
