Sistem Mentega

SPRING IS IN THE AIR, PEOPLE..
Picture taken from that Park just across the CLA building.. inda ku tau apa nama park nya.. tapi lawa kan???

Anyways, during the Linguistique Generale class this morning, I was sitting inbetween Ina and Aimi.. Ina wrote a message to Aimi on my notebook.. She wrote..
As highlighted on the picture above, she wrote.. " Aimi, ade kentang x? Ina nak butter.. Ina bg carrot" (x in Malaysian Malay= tak = inda.. and nak = mau..) In other words, " Aimi, kau ada potato? Ina mau butter.. aku bagi kau carrot"

I was a bit puzzled.. cause kenapa ia tanya if c Aimi ada potato.. tapi ia guna butter? inda ku paham!.. So I asked her... (the ones highlighted in Orange, aku tulis.. the ones in green, Ina tulis)

In short... kamu baca saja yang hightlighted atu lah..

Mas: Napa tanya Aimi kalau ia ada potato tapi kau mau butter?
Ina: Aimi ada potato, so aku mau exchange sama ia.. 1st question 'Aimi ada potato?' -- to be polite..
bla bla bla..
Mas: kalau mau butter boleh kali kau cakap.. "Hi Aimi, ada butter? kan exchange sama..." (and ia tarik paper atu.. so i didnt finish my sentence)
Ina: POTATO atu, untuk buat SYSTEM BUTTER
Mas: and I'm like.. BUTTER ADA SYSTEM? atu nyaman ketawa ku yo.. baru ku telarah.. inda ku dapat imagine..

and then after class.. ku tanya lah lagi.. apakan butter system ani? baru ku pernah mendangar.. and then ia reply "eh yang exchange2 barang ah" and then baru tah ku paham! Butter = Barter.. as in the BARTER SYSTEM WAH! haha pacah wah yooo.. bangang brabis wah ku..

Ohhhh Inaaaaaaa~
