the pis a bit themselves. That's what they would say to us on our first visit when we said no money. They would say"no money-singla pis" so we would repeat it with a drinking motion thinking it had something to do with the fact that we spent our money on beer so had none left. It wasn't until a week later we discovered Sing is no & pipis is money in Balinese.
So kantun(alus) is "available" but what is kempes? & the second phrase is Indonesian yea? "Sorry, my money already finish"??
I know jinah (alus) is "money" Jinah alit is "small money" Not heard kempes before.
