Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo. Ready for episode 45? Luna: I'm so ready! Last time we did hands and feet. My brain is still stretching from that. Lucas: Oh, good. Because today we're staying with body parts — but moving up and down a bit. Shoulders and knees. Luna: Ooh, like the song! Head, shoulders, knees and toes. Lucas: Exactly that. We already covered kepala and kaki. Now let's add bahu — that's 'shoulder' — and lutut — 'knee'. Luna: Bahu and lutut. Okay, I'm with you. Say them slowly? Lucas: Sure. Bahu.... Bahu. One more time: bahu. Luna: Bahu. That's actually kind of fun to say. Bahu. Lucas: Right? And now lutut. Lutut.... Lutut. Luna: Lutut. Hmm. Loo-toot. Lutut. Lucas: Perfect. Now, let's put them in a simple sentence: Saya ada bahu. That means 'I have shoulders'. Luna: Saya ada bahu. So literally 'I have shoulder'. Lucas: Yes, in Malay we don't usually pluralise. So bahu works for both one shoulder and two. Saya ada bahu. Luna: Saya ada bahu. I can feel my shoulders now. They're listening. Lucas: Good, let's keep them listening. And for knees: Saya ada lutut. Luna: Saya ada lutut. That one rolls off the tongue. Saya ada lutut. Lucas: You're nailing it. Let's do a quick back and forth. I'll say the phrase, you repeat. Luna: Deal. Lucas: Bahu. Luna: Bahu. Lucas: Lutut. Luna: Lutut. Lucas: Saya ada bahu. Luna: Saya ada bahu. Lucas: Saya ada lutut. Luna: Saya ada lutut. Lucas: Brilliant. Now imagine you're at a clothing store and you want to say 'This shirt fits my shoulders'. You could say: Baju ini muat bahu saya. But that's a bit advanced. For now, just knowing the word is great. Luna: So if I'm trying on a jacket, I can point to my shoulders and say 'bahu'? Lucas: Exactly. Or if you fall and hurt your knee: Lutut saya sakit. 'My knee hurts.' We learned sakit from the clinic episode. Luna: Right, sakit. So I can say: Lutut saya sakit. That's useful! Lucas: Very. Let's do a tiny scene. You're at the doctor's. The doctor asks: Apa yang sakit? What hurts? You point to your shoulder. Luna: Bahu saya sakit. Lucas: Perfect. And if it's your knee? Luna: Lutut saya sakit. Lucas: You're a natural. Let's mix it up with what we know. Say 'I have shoulders and knees'. Luna: Saya ada bahu dan lutut. Lucas: Yes! Using dan for 'and'. Saya ada bahu dan lutut. Luna: Now I can do the whole song: kepala, bahu, lutut, kaki. Lucas: That's a great way to remember. Let's say it together: Kepala, bahu, lutut, kaki. Luna: Kepala, bahu, lutut, kaki. Oh, I love that. Lucas: Me too. Before we wrap, let's do a quick quiz. I'll say the English, you say the Malay. Luna: Bring it on. Lucas: Shoulder. Luna: Bahu. Lucas: Knee. Luna: Lutut. Lucas: I have shoulders. Luna: Saya ada bahu. Lucas: I have knees. Luna: Saya ada lutut. Lucas: You did it. Fantastic. Now you can point to your shoulders and knees in Malay and even say if they hurt. That's episode 45. Luna: This was such a fun one. I'm already singing the song in my head. Kepala, bahu, lutut, kaki! Lucas: Keep practicing. And remember, you can always learn more with Fexingo. See you next time! Luna: Bye bye! Terima kasih!
