SEBUTIR

Similar to English, the Malay language is also rich with its own collective nouns (or what we called penjodoh bilangan) for examples 'sebiji' durian, 'sebuah' kereta, etc....

But things are different in Kelantan when most of these penjodoh bilangan become 'sebutir'.

So if you are visiting Kelantan, don't be surprised if someone ask how many 'butir' durians you want to buy!
