Hi guys,

For the e-book thing, I guess the best way would be to mail by post a hard copy on a CD to you. That's because the Harry Potter books alone is nearly 10Mb in PDF. Tell you what ... put your postal address on the blog or send your postal address to my email (yonglk98@tm.net.my), and I will burn them on a CD and mail them to you.

The loghat Kedah is peculiar for a Negeri person like me. Air is pronounced ayaq. Any words ending with the letter L will be pronounced I. Example: sambal - sambai, cendol - cendoi, tinggal - tinggai. There is also this habit of using the word 'na' at the end of sentences to make the statement sound more berbudi bahasa. Example: 'saya balik dulu naa' or 'makcik mesti makan ubat tiap-tiap hari naa'. The word 'depa' means 'them/they (mereka)'. So 'deeparaya' in Kedah actually sounds like 'mereka raya' not 'kita raya', a jest mentioned by most Kedahan.

The word for shortness of breath in Kedah is 'penat'. Penat does not mean the conventional 'tired' or 'lethargy' in Kedah. In Kuala Pilah, 'mengah' means SOB. Wonder what interesting words is used for SOB in other states/daerah?
