Translation is fun. No?

Taken from The Star Online.

One of the phrase my friend also use to tease each other is this:

Adakah anda percuma malam ini?


Some might misunderstand it for one night stand or dirty minded stuff. However, it is a direct translation which mean "Are you free tonight?".

Let us hope that the Government will see a clearer picture of language usage in our daily life.
