I am fascinated by languages. Kalau boleh nak belajar semua bahasa kat dunia ni. Of course when I was small kat rumah bercakap bahasa Melayu. Pure, pure cakap loghat Penang. Dah masuk sekolah menengah (boarding school kat Johor), tu dah kena bercakap loghat Johor pulak.
Budak Johor : * Awak dari mane ek?*
Budak Penang : *Saye dari Penang*
Budak Johor : *Name awak ape ek?*
Budak Penang : *Name saye, N* Awak ?*
Budak Johor : * Name saye D*
Budak Penang : * Awak suka main bole? *
Budak Johor : * Bole tu ape ek?*
Budak Penang : *Bola lah*
Budak Johor : *Oh orang tak cakap "bole". Bola jugak la*
Budak Penang : *Ye ke?* Dah Malu tak nak cakap dah.
Since the students came from all over the country, so we were able to later know other loghat as well.
Medium of instruction was still fully English, so my english was still quite powerful, still is. Bahasa Melayu pun boleh tahan jugak lah.
Masa sekolah menengah tu, aku ada pen pal dari Germany. Olaf nama dia. Tapi tak ada apa pun perkataan bahasa german yang aku belajar dengan dia. Last last dia punya english yang improve. Tak pa lah kira sedekah jariah gitu kut no. Dia pun ada datang Malaysia visit aku 2 kali. Rasanya mak aku pun panic jugak tengok mat saleh mai cari aku kat rumah. My mother memang takut anak dia ni kawin dengan mat saleh.
Masa dekat Uni, aku ambik option subjek Mandarin. Ramai sungguh student yang nak belajar bahasa Jepun masa tu sampai melimpah ruah. Aku tak berapa nak belajar Japanese sebab ingat Mandarin akan lebih sesuai di Malaysia. 1st semester, ramai jugak student yang ambik Mandarin. Ada dekat 20 orang. Aku pun tarik pakwe aku (la ni hubby I la) masuk kelas Mandarin sekali. Aku tengok lelaki ni seksa sikit nak belajar bahasa. I am sure not all are like that. If not, how come Mahadzir Lokman can muster 5 or 6 languages. Second semester, semua dah drop-out, ada yang fail, ada yang rasa susah, ada yang dah tak interested. Aku masih nak belajar lagi. So the teacher found a Chinese girl to be my companion. Since she is Chinese, she was not eligible to take the class. Not all chinese can speak and write Mandarin, so she was interested to learn. So I was saved for another semester. The 3rd semester, unfortunately for me, the Univ, made a new ruling. If there were less than 5 students in a class, the class could not be held. So, mana aku nak cari lagi 4 student. So kena lah drop out. Sampai hari ni Mandarin aku ni tinggal banyak ni saja lah:-
Boleh kira 1 sampai 10 (still boleh tengok calendar kuda tu tarikh dalam Mandarin)
* Ni how ma?* (Apa kabar?)
*Hen how* (Kabar baik) atau *Bu (pr as pu') hen how* (Tak berapa baik)
*Ni mang ma? * (sibuk ke? )
*Yau atau Bu yau* (Mau atau tak mau) Yang ni banyak guna masa pi Beijing dengan famili bersama arwah ayah.
* Wo bu shi tau * (I don't know)
Yang ni rasa nye semua tau, sebab aku tak belajar kat dalam kelas pun. Sinsei tu apek dah tua, sebab tu yang tak ada motivasi nak belajar ayat ni masa kat kelas. Kalau macam rupa si Jerry (singer kumpulan F4 yang anak sulung aku dok syok tu), mungkin ayat ni yang aku beria-ia sangat nak guna. Hehehe
* wo ai ni* ( I love you)
Tapi takut jugak sat ni ada yang nak balas balik
* Wo hein ni* (Aku benci kat hang)
So berkuburlah Mandarin aku sebelum dapat nak tackle pakwe Cina. Nasib baik lah aku dah ada pakwe masa tu kan. Kalau tidak habis lari semua pakwe-pakwe cina kat Uni, agak nya.
