ki

The sound an individual of Sri Lankan origin emits when poked. In particular social settings that are understood only by select scholars of Sri Lankan linguistics and culture, the individual may emit, Smi as a substitute. Know that Smi is both the antonym of; and only polite response to, ki.

You: Excuse me, sir, are you from the nation of Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon?
Lankan: Yes. How can I help -
You: *poke*
Lankan: Ki!
You: Smi!
