sa-ya ma-hu mi-num i-ni.

[aadiyat]

assalamualaikum,
actually malaysian and singaporean malay is the same, indonesian malay is a bit different, but basically the way u pronounce it is the same. malay language is very easy to learn coz the phoenetics are really very simple. the letter A would sound like the A in 'car' or a U in 'but', B sounds like B in 'ball', C sounds like C in 'change', K sounds like C in 'cut' or 'car' or 'cat'. u could pick up any malay book and just read away.. :)

They dont teach jawi in the secular school eh :SMILY23::SMILY23::SMILY23:

Today I will add in the jawi (جاوي)character for easy pronounciation, hopefully

Its Malay... spoken both in Singapore and Malaysia,,, and slightly different from Indonesian.Malay can be romanised(latin alphabet) or arabic alphabet.
Only thing we have more alphabets than the arabic and we dont used the diacritical(َ ِ ُ ً ٍ ٌ ) We call this arabic writing as jawi ( جاوي. Anyway i think the present generation dont give much thought to jawi they rather read in romanised eh

eg -- house = rumah = رومه
eat = makan = ماكن

:wasalam::hijabi:

Malay in Jawi form still exist in the south of Thailand (Pattani, Yala, and Naratiwat provinces).

We still learn it in Islamic school (from the age of 12 until the 3rd year of high school) which combine with normal education, therefore we study 6 days a weeks, and Friday is a holiday. Some areas, there are possibility for kids to start this education since they are in a primary school. I mean, they can attend a private class during weekends in the mosque.

So, Jawi form of writing Malay language still alive in the south of Thailand

Remark: what I mean by this education is unfortunately an Islamic education with Jawi-Malay language. After some years, children will have change to learn Islam directly in Arabic.

Okay so sister libin , malay is the same as english where u have subject and predicat.Pronounciation will be the same as english...

I -> sa-ya
you-> Ka-mu
We-> Ki-ta
they-> Me-re-ka

Example:

1)Sa-ya ma-kan ro-ti -> I eat bread

ma-kan -> eat , ro-ti-> bread


2) Saya solat di mesjid -> I solat/pray at the mosque ( mesjid is an arabic word)

di-> at


There is one word which hambaAllah teaches u which is handkerchief. In malay , it is sa-pu tang-an. for your information , tang-an is hand. wajah is face( wajah is an arabic word)



Play-----> ma-in bread--->ro-ti
talk-----> bu-al soccer---> bo-la
come---> da-tang London----> London
eat-----> ma-kan

[dianne]

I - sa-ya (sa as in sum)
you - a-wak
him/her - di-a (as in deer)
want - ma-hu (hu as in who)
eat - ma-kan (kan as in can't)
drink - mi-num (mi is me)
this - i-ni ( as in ee nee)
buy - be-li (be as in "ver" in believer)(li as in lee)
what - a-pa (pa as in papa)

yO Hablar espanol! i speak spanish,cakap melayu memang tau pun pasal keturunan melayu.-( i speak malay bcoz im a malay root )cakap cina pasal dulu budak kat sekolah banyak budak cina,suami sekarang pun dari keluarga cina,-( i speak chinese bcoz majority students at my school last time is a chinese & my husbands now is chinese)cakap omputih tak payah tanya lagi la pasal nenek anak pertama saya omputih,a bit of native language (sarawak)-( i speak english bcoz the grandparents of my first son is white )

Actually formation of sentence for malay is about the same as english.
For example,

( Name/ Person)... (verb)...( thing)

For e.g,
I went to the mosque.
Sa-ya per-gi ke mes-jid

where Saya is I , pergi is went , mesjid is mosque.

Simple, right???

As u can see the sentence structure is the same as english , but arabic language might be different.

Can u maybe tell me what sentence u want to make , then i translate it for you .

For the time being , i got some homework for you...:SMILY335:
using the following words below and some u posted by HambaAllah, translate the following sentence to malay/ English....


sit--> du-duk
live--> ting-gal
on--> atas
write---> tu-lis

1) i sit on a chair
2) i live in a house
3) sa-ya tu-lis atas me-ja

[alkathiri]

Can we first start off with just the present time (not past), because otherwise i'm going to be confused:confused:
So, how do you say go?

[Libinette]

1) i sit on a chair
2) i live in a house
3) sa-ya tu-lis atas me-ja

1) Saya duduk atas kerusi
2) Saya tinggal (in a) rumah
3) I write on table

[alkathiri]

1) Saya duduk atas kerusi
2) Saya tinggal (in a) rumah
3) I write on table

very good...Alhamdulilah...

Can we first start off with just the present time (not past), because otherwise i'm going to be confused:confused:
So, how do you say go?

The good news is malay does not have past tense . But they do have things like say a root word of tinggal . It can be in a form ter-tinggal , meninggal . but that will be later on or for beginners it is unnecessary as using the root word can already form a lot of sentences..

go ---> per-gi
