Hey, no offense. I left the country 40+ years ago as a small child. The Indonesian language has undergone several changes order to adopt some spelling uniformity with the Malayan language such that I have a hard time to follow what is written in the current Indonesian newspapers. I have received some pm which I cannot tell whether it is Singaporean, or Malay or Indonesian. Many times I have difficulty communicating in Indonesian language.

As you know people from there is so confused because the many languages that are in use (besides the national language), such as the local dialects, Dutch, some Chinese, some German and of course some English. The use of some foreign words which are then Indonesianized makes it even worse.

But you are right. The name manalagi means "where more", and is actually the name of a special mango so delicious that you ask for more after eating one. You are very perceptive.

Peace bro.
