- Lucas: Luna, last episode we were at the beach. Today, let's take a train somewhere new. Luna: Ooh, I love trains. Where are we heading? Lucas: We're going to the train station to buy tickets. First phrase: Saya mahu beli tiket. It means 'I want to buy a ticket'. Luna: Saya mahu beli tiket. Say it with me? Lucas: Say it with me: Saya mahu beli tiket. Slowly: Saya... mahu... beli... tiket. Luna: Saya mahu beli tiket. That sounds good! Say it again? Lucas: Saya mahu beli tiket. Perfect. Now, imagine you want a ticket to Kuala Lumpur. You say: Tiket ke Kuala Lumpur. Luna: Tiket ke Kuala Lumpur. So 'ticket to Kuala Lumpur'. Lucas: Yes. Tiket ke Kuala Lumpur. Repeat after me: Tiket ke Kuala Lumpur. Luna: Tiket ke Kuala Lumpur. Got it. Lucas: Good. Now, you want to ask the price. Berapa harga tiket? — 'How much is the ticket?' Luna: Berapa harga tiket? That's a mouthful. Berapa harga tiket? Lucas: Exactly. Berapa means 'how much', harga is 'price', tiket is 'ticket'. So: Berapa harga tiket? Luna: Berapa harga tiket? I can say that. Lucas: Great. And finally, if you just want one ticket: Satu tiket, terima kasih. 'One ticket, thank you'. Luna: Satu tiket, terima kasih. Satu is 'one', right? Lucas: Right. Satu tiket, terima kasih. Let's hear you say it. Luna: Satu tiket, terima kasih. Easy. Lucas: Now let's put it together. I'll be the ticket seller. You come up to me. Luna: Okay. Saya mahu beli tiket. Lucas: Ke mana? — To where? Luna: Tiket ke Kuala Lumpur. Lucas: Berapa harga tiket? Luna: Hmm, let's see: RM50. So you say: Satu tiket, terima kasih. Luna: Satu tiket, terima kasih. Lucas: Excellent! You just bought a ticket in Malay. Luna: That felt real. Let me try again from the start. Lucas: Go for it. Luna: Saya mahu beli tiket. Tiket ke Kuala Lumpur. Berapa harga tiket?
