Malay: ni memang nak kne ni

[yuki1212]

What does "ni memang nak kne ni" mean? What does ni mean exactly? Hope someone can help. Thanks!

Welcome, yuki ! Are you sure it is Malay ? Except mémang which means "indeed", I see no Malay word in this phrase.

That's more like a "street slang" not a proper phrase. To put it in a proper phrase it's, "ini memang nak kena ini".

The translation is similar to "he/she/person is really going to get it from me".

It's an expression of being angry.

Is nak used in Malay as Indonesian akan, or is it abbreviated from hendak ?

"This one, true, he will get it !" (I guess the second ini is it, what "he" will get; and "from me" is added).

Writing kne for kena is street slang ?

Nak in Malay is different to Indonesian's. As you've guessed it, nak in Malay is abbreviated from hendak.

Yes, kne is a short / text messaging form for kena
