Well, in Indonesian the words for: he/she; brother/sister,Grandmother/grandfather... are the same. But they do have different words for mother and father.
To say girl, they say: child woman, for boy it is: child man :)but only if asked so, normally they only use the world "child" (anak) 1 person has voted this message useful |
