Anak buah意思

"Anak buah" is a Malay term that literally translates to "fruit child" in English. However, it is used metaphorically to refer to a stepchild or a child of a parent's partner who is not biologically related to the parent. In other words, it describes a situation where a child is being raised by a parent who is not their biological parent. This term is commonly used in Southeast Asian cultures, particularly in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei, where Malay is the official language.
