- Lucas: Okay, welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Lucas, I've been practicing my ordering at the night market from last time. Lucas: Oh, that's great! How did it go? Luna: Pretty good! I managed to say 'Saya mahu nasi lemak' without hesitation. Lucas: Love that. Today we're going to a place where you can use similar phrases — the market for vegetables. Luna: Ooh, sayur-sayuran! I've been wanting to learn that. Lucas: Exactly. So first, let's learn how to say 'I want vegetables.' In Malay: Saya mahu sayur-sayuran. Luna: Saya mahu sayur-sayuran. Lucas: Perfect. Sayur-sayuran just means vegetables. Now, when you're at the market, you'll also need to ask the price. So: Berapa harga ini? — How much is this? Luna: Berapa harga ini? Lucas: Yeah, you've got it. Let's put them together. Imagine you see some cabbages. You say: Saya mahu sayur-sayuran. Berapa harga ini? Luna: Saya mahu sayur-sayuran. Berapa harga ini? Lucas: Awesome. Now let's learn specific vegetables. Cabbage is kubis. Luna: Kubis. Lucas: Carrot is wortel. Luna: Wortel. That sounds like 'wortel' in Dutch. Lucas: It does! It's borrowed. Next, green beans are buncis. Luna: Buncis. Lucas: And spinach is bayam. Luna: Bayam. Lucas: Good. Now, let's practice ordering. You want cabbage. So: Saya mahu kubis. Luna: Saya mahu kubis. Lucas: Great. Now you want carrots: Saya mahu wortel. Luna: Saya mahu wortel. Lucas: Green beans: Saya mahu buncis. Luna: Saya mahu buncis. Lucas: Spinach: Saya mahu bayam. Luna: Saya mahu bayam. Lucas: Let's do a quick scene. You're at the market stall. You see vegetables. You say: Saya mahu sayur-sayuran. Berapa harga ini? Luna: Saya mahu sayur-sayuran. Berapa harga ini? Lucas: The seller says: Harga kubis murah. You decide: Saya mahu kubis. Luna: Saya mahu kubis. Lucas: Then you also want carrots: Saya mahu wortel juga. Luna: Saya mahu wortel juga. Lucas: Perfect. Now, take a moment to repeat after me. Sayur-sayuran. Luna: Sayur-sayuran. Lucas: Berapa harga ini? Luna: Berapa harga ini? Lucas: Kubis. Luna: Kubis. Lucas: Wortel. Luna: Wortel. Lucas: Buncis. Luna: Buncis. Lucas: Bayam. Luna: Bayam. Lucas: You're doing great. Now, if Fexingo has been helping you make real progress with Malay, you know we keep this show ad-free.

Lucas: And you ask the price: Berapa harga ini? Luna: Berapa harga ini? Lucas: Perfect. Now, if you want just one type, you can say: Saya mahu buncis sahaja. Luna: Saya mahu buncis sahaja. Lucas: Excellent. Let's do a final practice. I'll be the seller. You come to my stall. What do you say? Luna: Saya mahu sayur-sayuran. Berapa harga ini? Lucas: I say: Kubis murah. You want cabbage? Luna: Saya mahu kubis. Lucas: And anything else? Luna: Saya mahu bayam juga. Lucas: Good. So total: Saya mahu kubis dan bayam. Luna: Saya mahu kubis dan bayam. Lucas: You did it. That's your market trip sorted. Practice these phrases and next time, you can even add 'kilo' — but we'll save that for another day. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. I feel ready to shop for sayur-sayuran now. Lucas: Awesome. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Malay with Fexingo.
