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. πŸ˜ƒ

@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.

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

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?

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!

@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....
