- Lucas: Hey, welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 26 already! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? Time flies when you're learning a language. Luna: So what are we learning today? Lucas: Today, we're talking about pets. Specifically, two very common ones: cat and dog. Luna: Oh, I love cats! My cat is sleeping on my lap right now. Lucas: Aww, that's cute. So let's start with the word for cat. In Malay, cat is 'kucing'. Luna: Kucing. Lucas: Good. Kucing. Say it once more. Luna: Kucing. Lucas: Perfect. And dog is 'anjing'. Luna: Anjing. Lucas: Yes. Anjing. Luna: Anjing. That's easy to remember. Lucas: Great. Now let's make a simple sentence. 'I have a cat.' In Malay, that's 'Saya ada kucing.' Say it with me: Saya ada kucing. Luna: Saya ada kucing. Lucas: Exactly. Saya ada kucing. Luna: Saya ada kucing. So I can say 'Saya ada kucing' when I want to tell people I have a cat. Lucas: Right. And if you have a dog, you say 'Saya ada anjing.' Try that. Luna: Saya ada anjing. Lucas: Terrific. Now, what if you want to say you like cats? 'I like cats' is 'Saya suka kucing.' Say it. Luna: Saya suka kucing. Lucas: Yes. And 'I like dogs' is 'Saya suka anjing.' Go ahead. Luna: Saya suka anjing. Lucas: You're a natural. Let's practice with a question: 'Do you have a cat?' That's 'Adakah awak ada kucing?' Try it. Luna: Adakah awak ada kucing? Hmm, 'adakah' is the question word, right? Lucas: Exactly. So 'Adakah awak ada kucing?' means 'Do you have a cat?' Luna: Adakah awak ada kucing? And to answer, I could say 'Ya, saya ada kucing.' Lucas: Perfect. Or 'Tidak, saya tidak ada kucing.' if you don't. Luna: Tidak, saya tidak ada kucing. Good to know. Lucas: Let's do a mini scene. Imagine you're at a park and you meet a friend. Luna: Okay. Lucas: I'll be the friend. I say: 'Salam! Adakah awak ada kucing?' Luna: Hmm. 'Ya, saya ada kucing. Saya suka kucing.' Lucas: Ah, sangat bagus! That was great. Luna: Thanks! So now I can talk about my cat in Malay. Lucas: Exactly. Let's review the words one more time. Cat? Luna: Kucing. Lucas: Dog? Luna: Anjing. Lucas: I have a cat? Luna: Saya ada kucing. Lucas: I like dogs? Luna: Saya suka anjing. Lucas: And the question? Luna: Adakah awak ada kucing? Lucas: Perfect. You did awesome today, Luna. Luna: Thanks, Lucas! I'm going to practice with my cat tonight. Lucas: That's the spirit. Keep practicing, everyone. See you next time on Learn Malay with Fexingo!
