"Daging ayam"

Translation: Chicken

[Edward686454]

Ayam is chicken. What is daging?

[SteveDawgNZ]

Daging is meat. So both ayam and daging ayam can describe chicken as a food, but only ayam can describe a chicken on the farm.

[SuzyYu1]

Oh. I put "Chicken Meat" and it was accept as correct.

[Kalea7654]

Cool

[AndrewPeak11]

Is this like in English? We eat beef, and not cows.

[JussiRanta1]

Fun facts:

In Proto-Austronesian, *qayam was just any domesticated animal. It meant even “pet”; as a verb, qayam meant “to play”.

In many Austronesian languages, ayam, hayam or other cognates mean “dog”.

It was in South East Asia, though, that the chicken was domesticated—so, chicken was known by Austronesian speakers way before it reached, let us say, Europe. How chicken is called varies across the Austronesian language family. In Fijian, it’s “toa” (Please Duo, great owl, introduce Fijian), in Polynesian, it’s “moa”.

Polynesian seafarers spread the chicken all over the place. In Chile, archaeologists have found rests of a roasted chicken meal dated to 1300s / early 1400s.

Not really. Gallina is the mother and pollo is the child, both in the farm and on your plate.
