adage \AD-ij\, noun:
An old saying, which has obtained credit by long use; a proverb.
One Malay adage that sound funny but been used untill now is when we see someone affected by red eye (*sakit mata*) , we are advice to say ' you got red eyes, but i got 'bump-ache' (*ko sakit mata, aku sakit bo*tot..)
funny right, but believe it or not, its been used untill today.
I wonder where is the connection btwn bump and eye?..
do you know anything else about malay adage?
