Can anyone help me with my Malay?

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 10:59 PM

Im trying to learn malay but i know theres a few people here from malaysia who know the language & maybe you could help me? I want to learn how to speak to my cousins there, and i live in the USA & my mom never really has time to teach me & its hard to learn myself with a dictionary. I know numbers 1-100 and basic things like Kucing, Ayam, and basic sentences.
& no, I dont think the internet will make me fluent, i just want people who are actually from malaysia to maybe teach me a few words because all I really know how to say is;
Saya mahu makan kucing goreng or tidak mahu.

@faybaybay
I have no idea what that sentence means, but I hope someone will teach you the language.

Someone shall see this and you shall be a pro by Tommorow! XD

Good Luck though. 😃

@skibunny9
It means I want to eat fried cat.
Not joking...
Lol my mom tells me to stop saying it, but it's programmed into my brain xD & tidak mahu kinda means like i dont want or something like that. I only know the basics, like eat, full, exit, mom, chicken, ect.

@faybaybay

So who taught you those sentences in the irst place? Your mom? 😃

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 11:29 PM

@skibunny9
I found the words in a dictionary, my mom taught me saya mahu makan ( means I want to eat ) and I found out kucing goreng on my own haha ( which means fried cat ) I thought it was hilarious at first & almost said it at a restaurant last summer when i was visiting malaysia

@faybaybay
Omg, that's hilarious. What kind of food does a Malaysian restraunt serve? I wouldn't know, I've never been there. 😋

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 11:32 PM

@skibunny9
Mostly just regular food, they have KFC, mcdonalds, theres a LOT of places that have chicken rice, not that many that serve pork because theres a lot of muslims, and they dont eat pork. Theres pretty much just a lot of rice, which i dont mind cause I ❤️ rice

@faybaybay
I love rice too! Especially white rice, yum!

But the Mcdonalds in Panama sells like chicken legs as part of the kids meal, do they sell something different?

*Jingle*

I know how to say 'Im from Amarica' : i m dari america 😃 Hope I helped

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 11:38 PM

@skibunny9
White rice is my favorite ❤️ lol I follow the asian sterotype, I eat rice everyday...
Hmm well nothing is really TOO different. I think the KFC has like spicy popcorn chicken before america did, or like a different sauce or something. Or it came in a different size idk hahah but they had a lot of exotic foods in the street markets ❤️ I loved the street markets.....

lol culturreeee!


@zafeyry
Is it free?

@hay7199

Awsome! XD

hay7199 • 1 August 2012 at 11:40 PM

I also Know:
Apa khabar? (How are you)

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 11:42 PM

@hay7199
Ooo I knew that one : )
I forgot about it for a while.
I also knew how to ask how many ringgits ( currency ) something costs but I forgot. It was a must know for street markets so you could haggle the price.
It was like braapa ringgit or something like that....

hay7199 • 1 August 2012 at 11:44 PM

Saya sayang kamu (I love you) That is another one I know... That might be it...

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 11:46 PM

@hay7199
Are you from malaysia? O.o

I didnt know that one.

hay7199 • 1 August 2012 at 11:47 PM

No, lol Amarica. My BFF is Malasian though. She tells me Saya sayang kamu almost every day. She told me that one is for close freinds and family members.

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 11:49 PM

@hay7199
Oh nice! My school has no diversity, theres only like 4 asians & 2 are me and my older sister.
All my friends are white, i have other asian friends but they're from where i used to live so i dont talk to them much & they dont speak malay because they are japanese & philipino

hay7199 • 1 August 2012 at 11:52 PM

Aw! I bet that sucks dosent it?

faybaybay • 1 August 2012 at 11:54 PM

@hay7199
Yeah it does & my school doesnt offer anything besides spanish as a language, until you're a sophmore & then you can take online languages but its still not good enough for me : P

hay7199 • 1 August 2012 at 11:57 PM

At my school we have some divercity, mostly african amaricans. And Whites, we also have Malasion's, asian's, latino's, Philipno's....

faybaybay • 2 August 2012 at 12:07 AM

@hay7199
Lucky xD we have 4 or 5 african americans, 1 is leaving to go to a different school next year. we have 4 asians, my sister is graduating this year. We have some mexicans I think. & then we have a few russians, which i think that counts as white, idk. but everyones white
