- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 46, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, we're learning so much. And today, we're continuing with body parts. Luna: Oh, I love body parts! We've done head, hair, eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, hands, feet, shoulders, knees... Lucas: You've been paying attention. So today we're going to learn two more: stomach and back. Luna: Stomach and back. Okay, I'm ready. Let's start with stomach. Lucas: Good. The word for stomach in Malay is perut. Let's say it together: perut. Luna: Perut. Perut. Lucas: Excellent. Now, the word for back is belakang. Belakang. Luna: Belakang. Belakang. That's a bit longer. Lucas: It is. But you've got it. Now, let's put them into phrases. If you have a stomachache, you say Saya sakit perut. Saya sakit perut. Luna: Saya sakit perut. That means 'I have a stomachache', right? Lucas: Exactly. Saya means 'I', sakit means 'pain' or 'sick', and perut is 'stomach'. So Saya sakit perut. Luna: Saya sakit perut. I can use that after eating too much nasi lemak! Lucas: Yes! And for a backache, you say Saya sakit belakang. Saya sakit belakang. Luna: Saya sakit belakang. That's 'I have a backache'. Lucas: Perfect. Now, let's practice. Repeat after me: perut. Luna: Perut. Lucas: Belakang. Luna: Belakang. Lucas: Saya sakit perut. Luna: Saya sakit perut. Lucas: Saya sakit belakang. Luna: Saya sakit belakang. Lucas: Great work. Now, let's imagine a scenario. Luna, you ate too much durian last night. Luna: Oh no, my stomach! So I say Saya sakit perut. Lucas: Right. And then I say, 'Oh, sorry to hear that. Maybe you need to rest.' Now, another scenario: I sit at my desk all day writing scripts. Luna: Oof, your back must hurt. You can say Saya sakit belakang. Lucas: Exactly. Saya sakit belakang. So useful. Luna: I love that we can express exactly where it hurts now. Perut for stomach, belakang for back. Lucas: And you can also just say 'perut' or 'belakang' if someone asks where it hurts. For example, if I ask 'Di mana sakit?' — where does it hurt? — you can say 'Perut.' or 'Belakang.' Luna: Di mana sakit? Perut. Or Belakang. That's simple. Lucas: Yes. Now let's do a quick quiz. How do you say 'stomach'? Luna: Perut. Lucas: And 'back'? Luna: Belakang. Lucas: How do you say 'I have a stomachache'? Luna: Saya sakit perut. Lucas: And 'I have a backache'? Luna: Saya sakit belakang. Lucas: You nailed it. One more time: perut, belakang, Saya sakit perut, Saya sakit belakang. Luna: Perut, belakang, Saya sakit perut, Saya sakit belakang. Lucas: Wonderful.
