yep ^_^ sometimes, in my country, people makes fun of Google search engine we usually called it "Mbah" Google, although here we have many synonyms of it, mostly depends on the local place
the general form for "Grandfather" is "Kakek" some of the local form that closely resemble "Grandpa" that commonly used is "Aki" => usually used by Sundanese people "Engkong" => usually used by Betawinese people (Jakarta) "Eyang" => usually used by Javanese people "Opa" => well, this one is taken from the Dutch people long time ago and "Mbah", used for describing someone who is old, usually wise, have wide knowledge, and considered have some miracles or magic (can heal sick person, etc etc... in a simple way, just think about an old man with shamanism @_@) while Aki, Engkong, Opa must be an old man, Eyang and Mbah can be an old man or old woman so, the conclusion... people called it Mbah must be because of those... things... hehe On Sep 30, 11:29 pm, tribaljet <[email protected]> wrote: > Grandpa? :)) > -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
