This is a kuis (quiz) ... Jakarta guy reads 10 "English" words and you have to guess where they came from in the Indonesian language. Some are very straightforward and easy ... others take a little bit more thought.

  • Dear Malaysians: Stop trying to teach this man languages you dont even know yourselves (i.e. Latin and English) 'Compound' has two meanings. The first denotes a mixture in which case it DID come from Latin 'Com' + 'Ponere' "to put together." The second meaning denotes a group of buildings or a village first transferred to English in the 1600's via Dutch or Portuguese 'Kampoeng." Guess where they got it? Malay "Kampong." We dont have the sound 'ng' in our language so we used the closest word.

  • hahaha that's not indonesian 'bahasa' accent!

  • wow...i never thought of compound and proa came from bahasa kita yaaa...and i live in the states for almost 20 years LoLzz...good vidz!

  • ketchup is from chinese. orangutan is from malay. and i couldnt hear you clearly when you say bamboo and ager or whatever that word was and the rest of the other words. gee... what accent do you speak? sounds like american but im not sure or is it?

  • Actually, 'ketchup' derives from one of the Chinese languages, 'compound' is Latin, and 'boogeyman' is Germanic. Otherwise, you're right on the money.

  • stupid dambass...

  • cool video, but im sorry why is this important? is it educational? or just an ego booster? haha
