ENGLISH WORDS IN TERENGGANUSPEAK
Raoong is both a verb and a noun but never an adjective in Terengganuspeak. It is advisable not to smoke roko' segeret (cigarette) in the car lest you burn the koseng (cushion, the car seat). If evening is nigh, make sure your headlights have working bol (bulb) and you have already cah (charged) the beteri (battery). Strangely, batteries for the torchlight are not called batteries but obat lapu.
There are also borrowed words pertaining to legal matters. Offhand I can think of samang from "summons" and also loyar from "lawyer". Peguam is hardly used. Loyar gave rise to some idioms like loyar burok (someone who talks nonsense) or beloyar (to tell tall tales).
As far as food is concerned there are a few English words used in Terengganu. Cakes or pastries bigger than kuih semperit not native to Terengganu are collectively called kek or kuih kek. Biscuits became sekkut. Ever heard of makang sekkut pat seggi atah sejjid? They are talking about eating square biscuits (cream crackers, actually) inside the mosque.
Oh yes, there is another theory on why we call Europeans etc. "Mat Salleh". It seems that once upon a time in Kuala Terenganu many English sailors came ashore and got gloriously drunk. Mad dogs and Englishmen and all that. A few of the British officers then tried to apologize by telling the locals that those inebriated visitors were "mad sailors". So, not being able to pronounce or remember "mad sailors", they replaced it with the nearest equivalent that they know, which is Mat Salleh.
Have a Happy 2005!

Even the Hokkien dialect has many words which they borrowed from Bahasa Malaysia. In Hokkien, soap is also known as "sabun", bread also known as "roti" and a few others. Heh. It's just pronounced differently.. with a Hokkienish ring to it : )

I've made one interesting finding actually about Terengganu people..
Kalu mung org te'ghanu, mung akang buleh cakap dalam mana-mana dialek dengang lancar (etc. Kelantan,Utara...)
Tapi Kalu mung nih bukan org Teg'ghanu, Mung memang dok buleh ckp Te'ghanu.. Walaupung mung tra abih reng doh..
betul o'ok.
