23-05-12 (Wednesday) “Aussie slang to Manglish translation”

For those who come Down Under and find all these weird terms confusing. Here’s an equivalent of what we’d say/do in Malaysia.

“G’day mate” = “Eh! Hello!!”

“What’s happening?” = “Wassup, man?”

“What’s news?” = “Wassup, man?”

“How’re ya going?” = “Wassup, man?” (Alternatively, if you happened to be talking about travelling or going somewhere, it might be about how you’re gonna travel there. Or it could be about how you are recently. Serious.)

“How are ya?” = *Ignores and walks past*/Refer to previous 3 items

“Are you KIDDING ME?” = “Wah! You SURE or not??!”

“No way!!” (pronounced "Noh-wuu wa-yee”) = “Nolah! Cannot be la!!”

“Winner!”/ “Champion!” = “Very good! Good job!”

“Cheers” = “Tankew”

“Doll” (e.g. “Would you pass me the chips, please, doll?”) = “Ah Boy/Ah Girl”
