Indonesian term or phrase: ajaknyen to kangen nah?
answer to the phrase "Makin kAngen Aja nox" (on facebook)

Who is this someone you are longing for, huh?
Explanation:
This is Balinese, not Indonesian. It's supposed to be 'ajak nyen to kangen nah?' It's the lowest form of Balinese. The answer to this question 'Makin kangen aja' is Indonesian, but the 'nox' at the end of the sentence is a sort of Balinese slang, spoken by the youth, just to stress a statement. If translated it becomes 'Gee, (it makes me) miss you even more'.
