What does "surat," "peklat," & "kangkong" mean in your language or dialect (local tongue)?
I am tracing where certain words originate. The first two words are said to be "Arabic" or "Malay" in origin, and that the last word is said to be "universal" --- that is, it means the same thing wherever in the world --- and your answers will confirm that. Thank you for your cooperation.
7 AnswersLanguages1 decade agoWhy do we usually use the word "square" when describing or referring to three meals in a day?
We often used the idiomatic expression three "square" meals a day. Why "square" which has four sides or angles, and not "triangle" which has three sides or angles?
