Short talk: chinese and english

I was having this conversation with my girl the other night, and the story goes like this:

(Conversation in our own Sabah mandarin, then suddenly she said to me..)

E: 哎哟,英文真是有够麻烦! 华语好过英文多多声

(aiyo, english so ma huan! Chinese nicer)

K: 作磨酱讲列?

(What makes you say so?)

E: 你看啊, 华语列, 狗就狗, 小狗就小狗. 英文狗叫Dog, 小狗作磨不叫 small dog, little dog? 反而叫puppy?

(you see ah, in chinese, we call dog a dog, and why cant a puppy called small dog or little dog?)

K: hm, 还有列?

(hm, and then?)

E: 还有猫咯! 作磨小猫叫kitten? 不是叫small cat?

(Cat also! why must it be kitten instead of small cat?)

K: 华语也是麻烦嘛! 一个è (拼音e4) 可以变恶梦的恶，饿死肚子的饿，鳄鱼的鳄.

(chinese is also a trouble. one chinese word can sound the same, but different meaning)

E: >.<

So readers, be grateful that we (Malaysian) get to understand at least 3 languages or more. At least you know it when people try to swear.
