Tapi mas Dewanto,
Orang Jawa berhasil menguasai bahasa Inggris dengan sempurna lho,
berikut saya kirim contohnya...
Suatu hari ada bule kehilangan sepeda motornya yg dia parkir didepan
toko di sekitar jalan
Malioboro, Yogya. Lalu dia bertanya ke Paijo, yg saat itu kebetulan
berada di tempat parkir, apakah
dia ngeliat org yg ngambil sepeda motornya.
Paijo: "Yes, he use to table square-square. Worth he fast-fast go
without any wet expire."
(Iya, dia pakai ke-meja kotak-kotak. Pantes dia cepat- cepat pergi
tanpa basa basi).
Lalu dengan sok berwibawa Paijo menasehati si bule tadi : "Sir,
different river, if park bicycle motor
liver- liver, yes?"
(Tuan, lain kali kalo parkir sepeda motor hati- hati ya?").
Si bule itu diam saja karena nggak tau mau jawab apa, sehingga Paijo
jadi ngedumel, "Basic bule!"
("Dasar bule!")
Karena tambah nggak tau harus ngomong apa lagi, si bule trus ngeloyor
pergi, dan dengan PD-
nya Paijo bilang, "Breasttttt!" sambil melambaikan tangannya.
Maksudnya: "Dadaaaaa"...........
