I'm not malaysian but I understand simple malay and I have a dictionary on my phone, problem is that I don't understand the abbreviations.

For example this:

"ti me jumpa u kat pool k. .ti me datang cna"

I get there's english mixed up in there and she says "I see you at pool", and "I come", but what is "ti" and what is "cna". typo? english? Malay?
BTW this is in Sabah

Cna : sana?

aku yg malay ni pun kadang2 xphm bc bahasa diorang

BULI BAH KALAU KO

only elit people can understand such bahasa jiwang bangsa.

not helpful

ti meh jumpa u kat pool..ok? nanti datang sini a.

Oh shit. is it Nanti?

ti=nanti
cna=sana i think

no wonder she wasn't therre.....

ti me jumpa u kat pool k. .ti me datang cna


nanti saya jumpa awak kat pool ok

nanti saya datang ke sana

nice boobs

sometimes native ppl malay are better than non native

better at what?

ti me jumpa u kat pool k. .ti me datang cna.

Ti = nanti = later
K = ok = Oklahoma (lul)
Cna = sana = there

Later I see you at the pool ok. Later I come there.

Nanti Saya Jumpa Awak dekat pool. Nanti I datang sana.

I feel like the proper way to phrase it should be.

Ti I Jmpa u kat pool. Ti I dtg sn.

Business or pleasure

kepala ox kau!

Cna = Cina? lulz.

sOme TImes TheY LIke To WriTe LiKE ThiS

post corrected.

bahasa tahap dewa.

even the sender cant understand

Yeah IF they can speak english. in sabah a lot of girls can't.

Anyway I turned up, sat with her for like d10 mins, then some other guy came in and she just went off to sit with him? What the hell? Is that normal? I thought it was gonna be a proper date.

I dont understand why can't the message be written properly. I don't see the abbreviations doing any good,it makes confusion lol

nape lak ko xleh fhm bnda rgks cmni? Kan mudh je nk bc..

i speak a little malay and she speaks a little english.

thay short form it. so for those who not speak malay alot will have problem

Please dont insult the malays. That is not even a Bahasa Melayu.

Whatever, if for some reason you feel insulted, get over it .

bcoz they are not speaking malay, they are speaking some kind of alien language that ain't nobody understand

Tulis lah sms tu abis kan bai...

Nanti i datang sana k?

Nanti i tunggu sana k?

Kita kiss dan minum2 sampai mabuk k?

Lepas tu kita pegi bilik u k?

Lepas tu kita piap2 k?

kau tak jumpa shortform kelantan lagi

even malaysian cainis failed to understand...so we know that feel bro

hahaha nice one

translated: mu dop juppo shotfom klate lg

anyway, I wait like 10 mins, she still sitting with the other guy, not even looking my way, her purse and phone still at my table. The other guy has his arm around her n shit. So I just pay my bill and leave. i sent her a message like "I wanted to go out with u not watch u with another guy all night, just tell me u already have a boyfriend next time". That was like 2hours ago, she didn't reply back.

Another girl I text last week, I ask her to go for a drink some time, she said, "sure just call or txt me" and some smiley faces n shit. I txt her again yesterday she replied "who is this?" I told her who, and no reply.

What the hell is with these local girls? It's just kind of insulting, I can handle rejection, but don't bullshit me please.

kesian

i feel you bro

maybe , but if you don't reply, they might not understand why it's not cool.

Kind of difficult here for me, I got to work here a long time and most local girls english is not good enough to get close, I'm not rich enough to get the well educated girls. Also it's pretty hard to actually find a malay tutor. It's really hard to learn a foreign language at age 30. I know some filipinos come here and learn it in like 5 months, but if you are not raised as bilingual it's really hard to learn new languages.

stupiak

must be too rich to get well educated girls?
Those studying or working in Sabah usually communicate in local native language/slang. Often time they dont find the need to speak English. But that doesn't mean they are not well educated.

Not needing to speak English and not be able to speak English are quite easy to differentiate. And yeah, for the most part well educated girls generally don't go out with 30 year old guys doing grease monkey work living in a room above a bar.

t / ti - nanti
cna - sana



but kenot brain la how can cna = sana ... if cni = sini make sense la

this is still understandable la..

What is monkey grease job?
Maybe you targeted the wrong girls, or you got low self esteem, or face problem. No offense.

no it isn't but if a young guy has no house and a shit car, it's because he's young, he's just starting out. if a 30 year old is in that situation, he's probably in a rut. That's the difference. Women think about stuff like this.

Anyway, think of it this way, imagine you went to a country where, for whatever reason, 50% of perfectly good women are unattainable to you. That's kind of how I feel. It just makes it twice as hard to get a girlfriend, which wasn't easy for me to begin with.

where are you from actually?

Which part of Sabah are you talking about? I am sure all girls learnt English in school and when I was in KK I observed many could converse well in English.
