Hello to Indonesian LYN members, If any.

I need help. Always when this Indonesian girl-friend (friend, not GF) of mine sends me SMS in short forms, I dont understand what she means.

A few words for Indonesians to decipher for me:

i) Dech. Example : "Ok lah boleh dech k?"
ii) Kgk
iii) Blg - Bilang = Example: "Saya bilang ke awak..."
iv) Tgl
v) pulsa - Example : "..pulsa saya tak byk" and "Saya baru isi pulsa" (I think she means she already charged her mobile phone)

These are the first few that I found.
I tried to Google, but I cant find the meanings to it.

Otherwise it's fun learning Indonesian language although I am not used to it. I always reply back in whatever Indo words I learnt and mix with our very own , Bahasa Melayu.

Please..no spamming here okay?

y dont u just ask her?

i) dech = deh = lah : ya udah deh/ya sudahlah
ii)
iii) bilang = cakap/bagitahu : gue udah bilang sama loh jangan ngobrol sama dia
iv)
v) pulsa = airtime/credit isi ulang pulsa = topup

ii) kgk(enggak) = tidak = no
ex: gw kgk suka lo. (i don't like you)

iii) bilang = kata = say
ex: kamu bilang ape tadi ? (what are you talking just now)

iv) tgl = tanggal = date
ex: tgl 31 ogos (31 August)

tgl = tinggal maybe?or tanggal?

im not familiar with "gw kgk tau"..usually they use "gw ga tau"
nearest i could think of is kgn = kangen = rindu = miss

well yeah, its very different from last time i heard (5-6 years ago while i chat using mIRC)

don't know now how the language evolved nowadays...

Hi azimazmi and 9876789,
Thanks for the help.

Here's also another one:
vi) "trus"

(Sounds like.."terus"..or "seterusnya" in our Malay language)

= then
aku pergi ke kedai itu lho...
trus...bapak itu marahin aku...
trus, aku lari pulang...

i went to the shop...
then, the old man scolded me...
then, i ran home...

that's really an unexpected meaning

trus = then , yeap.

go hang out more in bluefame lar...
