It’s been an hour and no one’s provided a translation, so I’ll take a stab at it:
Maaf, Charlie. Starkist enggak mau ikan tongkol yang canggih, tapi mau ikan tongkol yang enak.
I’m not a native speaker so what I wrote above is probably riddled with errors, but it won’t be long before a native speaker or someone with a doctorate in the Riau dialect of Indonesian comes along and corrects it. This is the Internet after all :)
- ralphc 8y agoCuriosity got the better of me. Google translate, detect language. "Sorry, Charlie. Starkist doesn't want sophisticated tuna, but wants good tuna." Not bad.
- inawarminister 8y agoYeah this is not one of the Riauan dialect, it is in THE high prestige Riau-Johor dialect that became Indonesian though. In my everyday language, modern Jakartan: Sori Charlie, Starkist gak mau tongkol yang dipilih-pilih, tapi tongkol enak aja. [How do you translate with good taste?]
