I seem to have trouble with the Indonesian word for blue, biru. Bee-roo. But given that my wife smokes Marlboro Blue, I will be asked often enough to purchase a pack for her and thus employ the word.
So I go up to the neighborhood Circle K and tell the guy behind the counter that I want Marlboro Biru.
He reaches for a pack that is white.
No, biru.
He reaches for the menthols.
Bukan Pak, itu hijau. Aku mau yang biru.
He reaches for a pack of kreteks.
Biru, Pak! Marlboro Blue!
Oh, blooo!
Lol.
Pakai bahasa inggris aja, ya.
