Bahasa Pasar Pekan Mana Ni?

I'm sorry for ranting like an old man but I find it irritating when youngsters (chewah, as if I'm so old) innovate the malay language to make it cooler(?).

Personally, I find these not so subtle ammendments of the malay language not only irritating but offensive too. I just can't point out why though. Here are a few examples of the desecration of BAHASA MELAYU:

Mka cam cine jew???

Nk pegi keja kew skunk?

Sowrie laaaa, I piyed.

huhu, I tak taw yg u sukew...

Why do some people like to replace their R with W? Do they pronounce the words with a W? Is ke really pronounced ki-ew and and suka su-ki-ew?

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just being more intolerant towards younger folks. Maybe I am becoming a condescending fossil that I've always loathed when growing up.

"maaf saya tak dengar bunyi telefon.saya tunggu di rumah"

that is what my sis sms-ed my 50 years old father..and he sent the msg back to me to decode..

I think they think the -w and w- makes the sentence (when spoken) sounds cuter.

*shrugs*

But still, I wish someone younger can explain why the younger generation write like this.

not just you, me too, can't stand it and don't like it!! maybe you are right that they are trying to sound cuter. btw I'm (only) 24 n maybe too old to comprehend this "cool" style..huh

well... i think malaysian especially think (maybe) Cute is one of the trait that you must have these days

Everyone (malaysian particularly) loves cute thing..or being called cute

Maybe there are obsession to be cute somehow..I dont know.. :)

syima said...

but they need to realize that it's not cuteeee at all!!! :P hehe

esp when u are 26-26 yr old grown ups!! gaaah!

It kills me when someone writes like that.

Afiq Deen said...

20 year olds who writes like that? Seriously? I think if they speak the way they write, they would sound really pelik. I've never met anyone who pronounces R as W. R with Gh aplenty but never R with W.

Yeah, same sentiment here.Those sort of language usage are plainly irritating, and to an extent, it does show their IQ. Urgh...
