Thanks enpitsu. Do you have a translation for the whole sentence "I was being sarcastic"?
- Malay
Let's say your friend is driving really slowly, & you say "You're being Lewis Hamilton today aren't you," & he looks all pleased & stuff, & then you say "I was being sarcastic." = "Aku perli je."

Spoken / colloquial Malay is very different from the standard Malay taught in school. It gets more convoluted when you factor in the regional accents and dialects -_-.
