I should learn some #Malay songs.

Small language note from my Legend of Zang Hai watch: at one point there's a small joke/riposte over the name Zhinu because why would you name your kid with Nu which stands for 'slave', but apparently it also means young child.
Reading elsewhere this isn't just a fictional point but an actual mandarin bit, so that's cool that's 20 seconds of dialogue that just encapsulated a key point of grief between Malay and Indonesian speakers lmao (in Malay budak is very straightforwardly a child; in Indonesian that's a foot servant or slave more than the other meaning.

TFW you're trying not to commit further ableism because you've been using the word "stupid" whenever I'm sharing news about the Palestinian genocide but that's because I have dozens of words for what Zionists are but English apparently only have one. So I guess I'm gonna have to teach anglophones what the hell are tolol, tongong, bengong, mingung, lemah, jahil, otak ayam, bebal, bahlul, goblok, dungu, picik, pandir, singkat etcetcetc
Anyone could help shed some light ? What would be the feminization/female form of that name or something close ? I'd offer Bustanette but... #Malay #Indonesian
