Yes, I really do love when authors put their research to good use.nicole-adrianne wrote: ↑11 Oct 2019, 06:17 How intriguing! These phrases sound very similar to Indonesian phrases as well. So much of a culture shines through in a language, I'm happy that these lines were included!

"Nama Awak" ( your name ). You are right regarding the amount of diversity the author interweaves in to the story. Mr. Kater also held my interest as he was able to incorporate the linguistics and dialects of the British, Dutch, French, Spanish,Aborigine, Australian, Japanese and Chinese cultures as well. Fascinating!

I have to agree, the Malayan phrases and different dialects and cultures brings the story to life. It also brings a new dimension to see how people from different cultures react towards each other.

I don't have any favorite phrase. I just like how the Malayan language adds color to the tale, making the story more real.Howlan wrote: ↑10 Oct 2019, 03:43 There is a whole lot of Malayan phrases used which really lit up the plot and made the story much more relatable and refreshing. Phrases like "Singa Melayu" ( Malayan Lion) , "selamat pagi"(good morning), ‘selamat petang’ (good afternoon) and so on. Which one was your favorite?
