Saya tidak fikir ada asal-usul lain bagi perkataan 'poyo'. I can not think of any other origin for the word 'poyo'. |
Oh, begitu. Ujang banyak memberikan perkataan-perkataan yang baru dan digunakan oleh rakyat Malaysia seperti cipan, planet zargus, hampeh dan semestinya perkataan-perkataan Minang. Ujang juga mempopularkan dialek Minang di kalangan rakyat Malaysia.
Oh, that's it. Ujang gave lots of new words used by Malaysians such as "cipan" (tapir) , "planet zargus" (a planet popularly used in Ujang), "hampeh" (useless) and for sure Minang vocabs. Ujang also popularized the Minang dialect among Malaysians.
