The only way I trust a translator is if I translate
back and forth until nothing changes 😊

Do malay & japanese languages have similarities? I think how are you is the same in malay as it is an Indonesian.

Saya tidak mahu merotan? is what my mom always tells me when i wont wash dishes lol

@piucca

@faybaybay
malay and indonesian is i think 65% similar/same

for example, trimakase is how malay speak,
indonesion says trimakashi ( it means thank you )

its like how they pronounce or something XD

it dosnt have similarities but they have some language that sounds the same!

nashi means nothing in japanese but it means rice in malay
baka means stupid but bakar is burn in malay
ikan means NO! in japan but its fish in malay

merotan? LOL shes trying to hit you with teh stick!!!! XDDDDD LOL

@lillia
Yeah she lways threatens to spank me and im like mom.... no.

I thought Nasi was rice in malay?
Lol
If I wanted to say burn fish, would it be Baka ikan?
Or Ikan baka?
