“hi, may I help you?”
“oh yes… can I have the fallafel wrap, please?”
“sure, anything else?”
“yes, can i have fries with it?”
“excuse me?”
“oh, chips! i mean chips…”
“ah, okay… eat here?”
“no, to go, please.”
“huh?”, she leans on the counter.
“uhh, i mean, take away! yes, take away, please.”

i thought i’ve gotten a hang of the Australian colloquial, at least for those used for buying lunch.

oh beda yaks colloquial lang. nya di oz ama states? lucu juga. gue pasti say the same thing…hihihi…di jkt malah lebih bingung gue…to go? heh? take out? heh? mmm..oh iya…bungkus pak satu! ihaihaiha….i wouldnt say..pack one for me yah! hahaha..dodolz…
btw, thx for the care. gue still recovering from the sick neh. still coughing. bt nih emang lagi musim flu dimana2. hope u dont get one too..
hehe, di jakarta, lagi. gue malah suka pake kata2 yang ketinggalan jaman… (pak, kamu kece deh) memalukan! 😛
kacian, masih sakit juga. tapi, kemaren waktu gue ke indo, gue juga kena flu tuh. sekarang sih udah sembuh. padahal kan pergantian musim udah mo abis. makanya, jangan kebanyakan liburan… hehehehe.
emang nih, ternyata american english itu cuman ada di amerika doang ya? yang lain2 ngikuting british english. queue itu kan kesannya resmi banget, kayak tulisan di papan2 pengumuman. tapi disini juga bilangnya queue kok. bukan line.
eh klo di sana nyebut kamar kecil tuh toilette ato rest room sih? kemaren ini temen gue nanyain rest room di london gak ada yang ngerti.. hehe..
Di Aussie keliatannya toilet sih, kadang2 ada yang pake slang juga.
yep, it’s definitely not “restroom”. kayaknya sih “bathroom” lebih acceptable daripada “restroom”. or “loo”… hehehe. feli knows the slang much more than i do 😉
try living in German!!! hehehe, it will be more tough =P
actually, rather than reminding me to a completely different language, it’s more like when i move from Bandung to Jakarta. banyak kata2 bahasa sunda yang gue pikir bahasa indo. pas gue ngomong pake kata itu, lho, kok ngga ada yang ngerti ya?
