Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Since I had a pretty harsh time here. Let me bring out something difficult;
Muka buruk, cermin dibelah.
Muka buruk, cermin dibelah.
Christian James Meredith I can attempt everything up to "belah".
An ugly face, mirror (something in the passive)
An ugly face, mirror (something in the passive)
Christian James Meredith Apparently the "world's largest online Indonesian dictionary" doesn't have "belah", so much for that boastful marketing slogan 
Christian James Meredith So I'm just gonna guess:
"An ugly face, mirror gets cracked" for the literal sense, and the figurative sense... Don't be ugly or you'll break mirrors?

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter wow.... so fast!
well the literal meaning is: ugly face, mirror cut (cut as in past tense verb)
belah means cut as in cutting a big spherical things (e.g. watermelon) into half
well I do believe it sounds better if the wording if you use the word "crack" muka buruk, cermin diretak
well done, but your interpretation is still incorrect

Christian James Meredith Doh! And "belah" might make more sense I guess from a historical perspective, since I guess current mirrors are pretty new fangled with all that glass and whatnot.
Hmmm, maybe something like "Act badly, and see your beautiful world fall apart"? IDK.

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter nope.
hint: a lady went to check herself in the mirror, and found out that she's ugly, upset she punched and shattered the mirror.

Christian James Meredith Hmm, something like "don't shoot the messenger"?
"The truth hurts"?
"Don't do what you can't handle"?

Marius Vincenzii Dennischter Dont shoot the messenger. Thats it!!
Dont break the mirror just because you saw yourself ugly.

Billy James Brightraven Should we maybe create a part II thread? This thread's becoming a bit unwieldy to scroll through when you want to find something
Billy James Brightraven What should we call it? Malin's word game? Maybe add the rules at the top, specifying what's allowed (dictionarying, grammar bookings, picture searches, wikipedia articles, etc) and what's not (google translate, babelfish, bing?… etc).
Yes/No?
Yes/No?
Billy James Brightraven Christian James Meredith, scroll-wheel scholar? 
Good luck finding it. xD We're so near to almost a thousand posts here.

Billy James Brightraven But that's Swedish, are we OK with a Swedish name? Literally it means "the language game".
Personally, I feel like there should be some attribution to the starter of the game
Språkspelet (AKA Malin's word game?), mayhaps?

Billy James Brightraven Because voiced velars are evil boogey-men that come after your voiceless sibilants?
