in malaysian, it means "oh Wow!" or if said in another tone, it could mean "you twit!" in not so many words.. what would your typical city / town / village "oh wow" be said in? slang / argot / whatever....

c'mon let's have some verbal coloda shall we?

"Umm, sweet!"

***ian*** · 09-14-2004, 09:53 PM

I use that word, only I write it as ayooooooo, hehehe
I didnt know it was a real word.
Some friends of the family used to come to australia and stay with us on occasion, they were from Malaysia, and the boy, when ever something went wrong he would always say ayooooo, but I guess it is spelled ahyo. Anyhow it stuck and I use the expression from time to time.

I generally use the @#$% word... it's so versatile

***[tab]*** · 09-14-2004, 10:38 PM

Examples:
"@#$%!!!" = Wow/cool...
"Oh @#$%" = Oh no/that's bad...

I don't know if any of you guys have seen "Firefly", but I love how they curse in Chinese...

zkiller · 09-15-2004, 02:20 PM

the irish are on a whole different level of cursing. it's quite entertaining as well.

AainaA · 09-15-2004, 04:54 PM

duh... eh? cursing? in Malay or chinese, or Indian, or even french, it sounds terrible, but I can imagine it in german or irish... the way the words just drool out of the mouth, not to mention the body language
