Any bahasa sifu here please discuss origin of the perkataan long kang please I just want to learn our history of our language This post has been edited by Lada Putih: Jul 11 2019, 09:05 PM

Mesmerized by it, he asked a malay who was nearby. "Dear sir, what is this long thing called". The malay guy didn't understand, but looking at the british guy standing very near to it, the malay guy said "baik baik tuan, jatuh kang" British guy asked "what?" Malay repeat "jatuh kang!" British "this long ...." Malay guy "long? Jatuh kang!" British "longkang?" Malay guy "mampus la hang" n just walked away with a hand signal. The british guy thought it was a sign for correct. And so, he went back n told his peers he saw a longkang. And so the word was spread.

The malay guy didn't understand, but looking at the british guy standing very near to it, the malay guy said "baik baik tuan, jatuh kang" British guy asked "what?" Malay repeat "jatuh kang!" British "this long ...." Malay guy "long? Jatuh kang!" British "longkang?" Malay guy "mampus la hang" n just walked away with a hand signal. The british guy thought it was a sign for correct.

Any bahasa sifu here please discuss origin of the perkataan long kang please I just want to learn our history of our language Of course it is... Everything comes from 5000 years of civilization...
