Kantoi

It a funny/weird word from our neighboring countries, with their interesting malay dialect, specially the ‘soft-e’ word and ‘english-malay-mix’ sentence. I got this word from a song, song title in Zee Avi’s self titled album.

Kantoi is a word to discribe that someone is busted, or caught doing something wrong (Urban Dictionary).

This the lyrics, some of them, what I can get by hearing the song (can’t get some words):

‘semalam I call you. you tak answer
you kate you kluar, pegi..
you kate you kluar, dengan kawan you
but when I call tommy, said it wasn’t you
so i drove my car pegi..
tommy kate may be you tengok bola
tapi bila I sampai you, you tak ada lagi lah
I jadi gila
so I call and call sampai you answer
you kate sorry sayang tadi tak dengar
my phone was on silent I was at the gym
tapi latar blakang suara prempuan lain’

KANTOI!
