I think its is an Indonesian dialect, if I am not mistaken.

ok ok people...dear me will tell you all what that means in literally alright cause the malay language is not being used correctly here...

"What, are you not happy?"

or

"What, you are not ok?"

See the malay language is broken into two - Bahasa Indonesia or Bahasa Melayu..so it differs...but it should be more or less similar meanings to it.

Pls correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers

If I am not mistaken, in one of Baf's earlier posts, I believe he said he spoke rudimentary Bahasa Indonesia hence some of the confusion. I am no judge on the correctness of his statement or not however.

You'll have to ask Bafana what it means b'cos this is broken Bahasa.

the word "senang" could mean either
(a) a feeling of well being / happy
(b) free as in not busy.

If he meant (a), it should haven been
"Apa, kamu kurang senang?"
"Don't you like it ?"

If (b), something like
"Apa, kamu tidak senang ?"
Are you not free to . . . .

Hi Bafana, how are you keeping and where are you hiding??
Please tell us what it means what you have said in one of your posts? It is very confusing otherwise!

French or English translations would be much appreciated.

HEY GUYS. THATS MALAY.

It means, What? You not happy.

And of course, those malay or bahasa indonesia who can't speak well, they will write it like that. But if they can speak well, there are just the typical malay mats and minahs in Singapore.

Is Bafana a malay then?

Why not asking himself about his nationality and what he meant in his writing on a PERSONAL PM? Instead of putting it publicly...

What about this...are you not free???? in Malay

mayaray · Post by **mayaray** » Sat, 30 Jul 2005 1:27 pm

I agree it means 'What are you not free? '

'Tak senang hati' would instead mean 'not happy.'
