English term
tarara
This is from Gordimer's "No Time Like the Present", where former South African "struggle" veterans are talking about the post-apartheid situation. So, the context is modern-day South African:
—We won’t exempt class betrayal by brothers profiting on capitalist enterprise.—
Peter can place him. No offence possible between them, no contradiction in the policy of the ANC alliance. —Who’s arguing about that, we’re equal now whether exploiting or exploited, isn’t it, aih, sinning or sinned against, all got the vote. The workers have the same boss if he’s black like us or white like Stevie.—
—Ja, we’ve heard it all—(whether he means: even down in the engine’s belly)—Eish man, we know, tarara black capitalists generate new wealth the white capitalists tell us, how’s it go, they make job opportunities, they have to pay taxes that increase money for social grants poor women get something to feed their kids—
Isa and Jabu coming out with coffee and a tray of mugs; Jabu is there with the figures. —Inequality, it’s increased more than fourteen per cent, that’s since two years after the first all-race election...
Thanks.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I'm not sure about this. It's normally said as two syllables, not three.
