Define: Bergilir-gilir

Definition according to Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka 3rd Edition:

“pergiliran sl pergantian, pertukaran (pekerjaan yg dilakukan bergilir-gilir): waktu malam ~ memasak ini jatuh kpd kawan-kawan yg lain pula; ~ tanaman (Tani) pertukaran menanam berbagai-bagai tanaman (pokok) dgn berganti-ganti menurut aturan, pd tanah (tapak) yg sama;”

English definition; “turn”

Situation: Disscussion for “Hari Raya Puasa bergilir-gilir” definitions

HIS: Bergilir-gilir means spend all the week for this year and celebrate the whole Hari Raya holiday with one side only, next year is turn for another side

HER: Bergilir-gilir means spend 1st day of hari raya with one side, then on 3rd or fourth day coming back to another side for Hari Raya

For HIM & HER, still have one month to discuss what is THEIR definition on “bergilir-gilir” before they decide which one is the best for THEM.

So, how do you define bergilir-gilir??
