Usually, they call their(Yes, i said "they" because i am single, lol) girlfriend or boyfriend with "Ayang" and it will be "yang" or "ay". And sometimes, they call each other with "Panda ku" and "Beruang ku".

@Nau_learn00 thank you so much! What does ayang actually mean? And what does ku behind panda and beruang mean?

@noakoll my pleasure.
'Ayang' means 'honey'(actually, the correct one is 'sayang' but 'ayang' is a cute form of 'sayang'). And 'panda ku', 'beruang ku' means 'my panda' 'my bear'.
