Todays word from Kuta Bali is ‘Abur’

My new word is Kasian Dello. Not sure of the spelling,but when you say it you need to make a downward wave motion w/ your index finger and this will translate to roughly “oh poor baby”. Very effective when someone is complaining or whining. Jet

hey jet… thats my favourite too, my Balinese friends taught me this it’s spelt “Kasihan deh lu?” and the reply is “Biarin dett!!”
just a little trivia for you.
cheers

G’Day Nick,

This daily language posting is getting better!. Not only do we have Bahasa Indo but also Bahasa Bali.

Great!

Hi Jet & Kylie,

Whenever my wife complains or whinges, I just smile and say ‘Tutup mulut’ (Shutup!).
This usually brings a smile to her face and then I cop a verbal barage of a mixture of Bahasa Jawa/Cina (Sweetly of course!)

Barrie, after the verbal barrages have finished make you sure say ’selamat tidur dan mimpi indah’ before going to sleep that night.

G’Day Nick,

Who goes to sleep!.

Nick/Barrie
