The Phantom was approached by his boss. Out of convenient, the boss started the conversation in local language. However, the Phantom admitted long time ago that his local language proficiency was nowhere near to level 1 and now he tried to reply in the native language. It all started with...
Phamton: Na-ge don si... (blabbering).. Na-ge mei you... (kept on blabbering)... Na-ge... Na-ge... Na-ge...
Na-ge... Na-ge... Na-ge...
Na-ge... Na-ge... Na-ge...
Captain suddenly remembered about the legendary So-Sifu but Phantom was nowhere near legendary but at least on the level of being infamous. Captain had to bear with the word "Na-ge" for almost half and hour. The number of "Na-ge" used in the conversation amount to at least 15 times. It was almost at par with So-Sifu!
For ye information, "Na-ge" in the local language meaning "that". How many times can someone use "that" in his daily conversation? Let me try:
"Oh that! That was used by the Phantom as a chair but that chair was used too many times. So, that chair might break at anytime and at that time someone might injure himself. That suppose to blame Phantom but that Phantom will blame Bee instead because Phantom claimed that Bee was
10 times! Me have used Na-Ge at least ten times!
|Oi, Phantom was not fat either! Me stand corrected because that size is called horizontally wider! Ladies and gentleman, please stay tune to how Phantom got horizontally wider in the next sail.|
Other than the Na-ge boss, phantom also uses Na-ge frequently.
