Assisted my son in his Hafazan. He got it, so I said, "Pandaiiiii."

It's a compliment. A form of positive enforcement. An encouragement.

But, you know how he responded?

Son- Pandai je?
Me- Ye lah. Dah hafal tu, pandai lah.
Son- Pandai je?
Me- Okay...Clever boy, you are a genius!

Amboi, amboi, budak zaman sekarang ni...Is pandai not good enough?
