MORE TERENGGANU WORDS

Saturday, October 30, 2004

Beta-Blogger is compiling a Terengganu Dictionary and I am contributing a few words whenever I can. I am also trying to jog the memory of any of the Trengganunese reading this.

Today I thought of the word "doktong". Unfamiliar?

Whenever I am missing from the house for long hours and came home late for lunch, my Mok would ask me:

"Gi kuane sariang? Doktong?" (Where did you go the whole day? Gallivanting?)

Gallivanting is the closest I can come up with for the translation of doktong. The origin of the word is unknown. I rarely pondered origins of words when rebuked by my mother. The word is used in the negative way and not to be used for or confused with a holiday trip or a visit, say, to your grandma's.

Another word in the same vein is "derrat". To berderrat is to leave the house for some useless walkabout like window shopping in KLCC. If you window shop back and forth the length of one floor of Suria KLCC, we would say you "ndey poteng ndey poteng".

If, by any chance you get lost in Suria KLCC looking for a toilet that is not boarded up, you would complain to your saing (friend/partner/companion):

"Musing ligat kita cari jambang weh. Dok jupe setabok." (I searched high and low for the toilet. Couldn't find even one." Musing ligat is literally going around in circles, if not totally lost.

Of course, if you berdoktong or berderrat too long in KLCC or anywhere else, you will get lapor belepeng ( very hungry). Then you will ndey poteng ndey poteng around the Food Court/Restaurants before you decide what to eat. If you eat too much you will be se'eh (full until you can't breathe). On the other hand, if you don't eat, you will feel very luga. (Translation, like batteries, not included.)

Hmm, I won't blame you if think that Terengganu is a foreign country.

  • Pok Ku,
    Doktong is new to me; but with dderak, I'm quite familiar. "Ambo mung gi dderak duane sape sariang takdok ni?" Then there's petong, which is similar to pelekong; and the result is bedamor. "Budok ni, kalu aku petong denge batu ning bedamo-oh!" is an admonition and a warning for a quick getaway.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but Trengganu is probably the only dialect with something like the Arabic shaddah, i.e. emphasis on repeated consonants, for shortening words, for transforming something into a verb, etc. Did you, when young, panjak pohong ppisang? I suppose it's mempisang, but there you are.

    Salang & thanks for doktong!

  • Lame dok dengor oghang sebut 'Doktong'. I learned the word when I was a student in Terengganu. :)

    ps: mujo ambo buleh online malang ni... ;-)

    By Blogger Honeytar, at 1:26 AM  
  • Sorry I must retract what I said earlier before Atok comes back to correct me. Actually Trengganu and Kelantan dialects both use the shaddah as a grammatical device. Ggitu lah.

    By Blogger beta-blogger, at 5:44 AM  
  • Err... Pok Ku. Same country? I'm not even too sure whether you're even human! *grin* Sorry! But seriously, it all sounds very alien to me! :)

  • Pok Ku..banyak perkataan Terengganu lama yang sudah pupus..contoh macam 'Muda' which mean 'hulur'...'mitok turut' ..mintak beli walau pun tak jual..'boreng'-'drill', 'putorela'-'a tool for drilling', and a few more ..i can't recall..

  • I'm familiar with all those words. My mom prefers to use doktong though.

    By Blogger ビビ, at 12:06 PM  
  • doktong =dok + tong
    dok= tidak ( duk =duduk??)dok makang vs duk makang
    tong = tong minyak tar ( barrels of crude oil?)
    tong = tong kayu ( boxes)
    tong = as in Sungai Tong ( nasalised). may be from Siamese word such as tong yang bangkok kong( tom yam abang Tom Jones)
    doktong = duduk atas tong OR tidak ada tong
    doktong =lepak
    doktong = doktor tong ( quack doctor?)doktor tong kosong
    doktong = doktor pelatih/ housemaship
    doktong = doktor locum ( DOKTor + tolONG)

    Pok Ku ? hok mane satu yang beto ning?

    By Blogger Kri, at 4:13 AM  
  • PokKu, I've once heard from a friend, 'doktong' means 'downtown'. 'Gi doktong' means 'gi downtown - enjoying yourself in the town?. I don't know, but makes sense jugak, kan?

    PretentiousRot: Thanks, you are too kind.
    Daisyboo: Wait until you visit Terengganu. Then You will be converted.
    3six7: You are most welcome.
    d'arkampo: I know "mitok turut" but lot son "muda". I know putorela, the gimlet. Heheh!
    bibi: I hope you didnt doktong often.
    Anonymous: LOL
    Hyelbaine: Kohor kohor.
    Grease-bar: InsyaAllah.
    Kri: Kohor kohor jugok.
    Pasir Panjang: Wow, Terengganu has downtowns and uptowns? Intersting theory though. Thanks.

  • ayah elida dan beta blogger,

    - menurut glosari dialek terengganu kepunyaan saya:

    doktong = bersiar2 tanpa tujuan; derak/derap [sinonim]
    ayat contoh: ali siang malang dok lekat derumoh, berahi doktong.

    - saya bukan orang terengganu, tapi seorang penggemar dialek2 semenanjung, seperti dialek pantai timur, utara, perak dan negeri sembilan.

    - ayat contoh di atas mengandungi satu drp perkataan terengganu [dan kelantan] kegemaran saya, iaitu 'berahi'! ;D
    ayat contoh: berahi sungguh die makang ikang panggang.

  • Pokku, saya teringat kepade se cerite:

    "Ade sorang cek mek ning baru je sapa kuale lumpo, turung la bah di puduraye. Baru kali ning la dia kluor dari negeri teranung tercinte, denge niat nok cari rezeki di tempak orang. Se sampa je die di bowoh puduraye tu die pong tahang la teksi sutir, tapi berebut pulak denge 2-3 orang minoh lagi. Kebetolan pulok same tujuang pulok. Make, berimpit2 la mereke sume dalang teksi tu. Tibe2 cek mek tadi tu berase rimah, pahtu die pong bersuare, " Boleh KENSOT (kesot)sikit tak? Terasa panas SON OS (so'oh) la dalam ni..."
