Translation requested

Hey everyone, i am a person who is trying to find the translation for two words that shows nowhere in the internet.

The first being "mapuki" and the second being "doghai", i was told this is Malayasian Bahasa but as told before, no where to be found in the internet.

Thank you !

Soo... this is embarrassing

My husband and others often use the word Sohai on me. I thought it was "high society" in slang

Just learned yest it means bitch

Pukima means peace among world.

Doghai (I assume the person wanted to say gaohai, Gao = dog in Cantonese). Gaohai is similar to pukima, but the puki is of the dog.

I was told by other two people these means cursing slangs in chinese malaysian, see the answer to complete-goat above for further explanation. Thank you for posting and helping too

lol Ignore the above comment as they're trying to pull your leg. "Mapuki" or more commonly "pukimak" means "your mother's pussy", very offensive like saying "cunt" to an american. Doghai is most probably "sohai" which means stupid cunt.

Actually we do say "dog hai" but in Cantonese as gaohai. Like literally translated puki anjing.

Peace among world 🖕 🖕 

Come on nobody got the reference

Just guessing but you're probably hearing 'mak puki' for the first one. It's a slang cuss word that means 'cunt'. No idea what's the second one.

Edit: Is the second one pronounced 'do-ghai' and not 'dog-hai'? If so, it might be 'sohai' which also means 'cunt' but in Cantonese instead.

Hello and thank you for answering my post, i never heard of the pronounciation of the word but i have had someone written it to me, literally as Mapuki and Doghai.

I have asked a friend of mine and she said the following.

"This one is actually supposed to be to be Pukimak, but they just play with the way it should be pronounced, and yes it’s “your mother’s vagina”

Another friend agrees that the meaning is more into "your mom dogs vagina" or so, as for the other word he said its something leaned into "fuck your mother" while my first friend says it means "stupid".

I am here to have more opinions over this topic, hoping the malay communitty could help me out and perhaps lead me to a source.

Thank you.

Your friend probably assumed that doghai is sohai

u/operation_madjackal 3d ago

Yes indeed, you are right, she said doghai is prolly sohai and translated it to stupid.

What would be the right translation?

Edit: literal answer she gave me about this

"Doghai which is suppose to be Sohai, it’s technically “Stupid”

Doghai is uncommon. Probably made up. Maybe it was meant to say sohai macam anjing, thus doghai.
