Look at that queue outside the new café, which started at seven this morning because the first hundred customers get a free drink. That's kiasu in its purest form, and I say that with love, because I'd probably be in it myself if I didn't have a meeting. Have you heard the word yet, or is this your first one?
你看那家新咖啡店门口的队,早上七点就排起来了,因为前一百名顾客送一杯免费饮料。这就是最纯粹的 kiasu,我是带着爱说的,因为要不是有个会,我多半自己也在队里。你听过这个词吗,还是这是你第一次听到?

I've heard it three times since Monday, and I assumed it meant something like competitive, judging by the tone. Is it Malay, like makan, or does it come from somewhere else? It sounds a bit like something my grandmother might say in Sichuanese, but not quite.
从周一到现在我听了三次,从语气来看,我以为它的意思大概是「好胜」。它是马来语,像 makan 那样,还是从别的地方来的?听起来有点像我奶奶会用四川话说的东西,但又不完全像。
