Pisang Kaki
We call it Persimmon, if you know the Chinese name is 柿... Do you know it's Malay Name?
Namanya Buah Pisang Kaki. Saya betul-betul terkejut. Saya diberitahu nama buah ini dalam Bahasa oleh seorang janitor semasa saya makan di kantin.
Mengapa "pisang"? Katanya, monyet suka makan pisang, ini sejenis buah yang monyet suka makan juga.
Mengapa pula "kaki"? Katanya "Kaki" to bahasa Jepun!
Wow! When I check back online, it is true! And the word 柿 in Japanese Kanji did read as "kaki".
Yes, we love our country's language...
Saya suka Bahasa Malaysia...
Although I still feel that it sounds more elegant to be called Bahasa Melayu.
No offence, just enjoy. It's the beauty of the language.
