Monchies were having a conversation about their Bahasa teacher and kept referring to her as “The Bahasa Teacher”. So I asked Kitreena what this Bahasa teacher’s name was.
.
Kitreena: I don’t know, Mom.
Mommy: How come? You took Bahasa last year. What did you call her then?
Kitreena: I asked, but she just wanted us to call her cekgu.
Mommy: Cekgu? You mean cikgu?
Kitreena: No! Cekgu. *emphasizes on the sound: check-goo instead of chick-goo*
.
My KaCher and I exchanged that ‘oooohhh-so-classic-lah-your-bahasa-pronunciation’ look and I must admit, I had Cekgu Markonah in my mind.
