QUOTE(billylks @ Feb 8 2014, 04:11 PM) These are the hidden meaning of it, but what is the masked word for it. conceited?You see "aku takut ko perasan" may sounds "ko ingat ko bagus? Cam gampang", but the former is more graceful and socially acceptable.  |

....I scared you find tooo flaterring" Say the 'too flaterring' in a cynical tone, meant as sarcasm
..you may consider too much of an ego boost that we have to get a helicopter to land your ego on the ground." Btw, ang moh normally dont use 'scared' , they use afraid. Hang out at International forums, you'll catch more of the sarcasm This post has been edited by eaglehelang: Feb 8 2014, 05:23 PM |
