Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 21 — can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? We're building a nice little Malay toolkit. Today we're tackling something sweet and simple. Luna: Ooh, I love sweet things. What is it? Lucas: Fruits! We'll learn the Malay words for three common fruits: apple, banana, and orange. Luna: Perfect. I eat a banana every morning. Let me guess... pisang? Lucas: Whoa, you already know that one? Luna: I might have peeked ahead. But say it again for everyone else. Lucas: Sure. Banana in Malay is pisang. Pisang. Luna: Pisang. That's so fun to say. Lucas: Now apple. Apple is epal. E-pal. Luna: Epal. Sounds like the letter 'L' in English. Lucas: Yeah, kind of! And orange is oren. Oren. Luna: Oren. That's similar to 'orange' but shorter. Lucas: Exactly. Let me say them all slowly one more time. Epal. Pisang. Oren. Luna: Epal, pisang, oren. I've got those. Lucas: Great! Now let's use them in a mini conversation. Remember from Episode 6 how to say 'I like'? Luna: Saya suka. And 'I don't like' is saya tidak suka. Lucas: Perfect. So if you like apples, you say: Saya suka epal. Luna: Saya suka epal. Lucas: And if you don't like bananas? Saya tidak suka pisang. Luna: Saya tidak suka pisang. But I actually love bananas. Lucas: Oh, so you'd say Saya suka pisang. Luna: Saya suka pisang. Yeah, that's me. Lucas: Now let's practice with orange. Luna, do you like oranges? Luna: Hmm, I do. So Saya suka oren. Lucas: There you go! Now let me ask you a question in Malay: Awak suka oren? Luna: That's 'Do you like orange?' right? Saya suka oren. Lucas: Nailed it. And if I ask Awak suka pisang? You could say... Luna: Saya suka pisang. Lucas: Or if you didn't: Saya tidak suka pisang. Let's hear it both ways. Luna: Saya suka pisang. Saya tidak suka pisang. Lucas: Awesome. So today's phrases are: epal, pisang, oren, Saya suka..., Saya tidak suka... Luna: I love that we're building on stuff we already know. It makes it feel easier. Lucas: That's the idea. Now let's do a little scene. Imagine we're at a market stall. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: I'll be the seller. You come up and I ask: Awak suka epal? Luna: Saya suka epal. Saya nak dua epal. Lucas: Oh, using numbers from Episode 10! Two apples. Very nice. So you said: Saya nak dua epal. Luna: Yeah, 'I want two apples.' Did I say it right? Lucas: Perfect. Now, what if I ask: Awak suka pisang? Luna: Saya tidak suka pisang. Lucas: Okay, no bananas for you. How about oren? Luna: Saya suka oren! Saya nak tiga oren. Lucas: Three oranges! You're on a roll. Tiga oren. Luna: Tiga oren. I love that. Lucas: Let's do a quick review. Say the three fruits again. Luna: Epal, pisang, oren. Lucas: And how do you say you like something? Luna: Saya suka... For example, Saya suka epal. Lucas: And dislike? Luna: Saya tidak suka... Saya tidak suka pisang. Lucas: You've got it. Now listeners, repeat after me: epal. Luna: Epal. Lucas: Pisang. Luna: Pisang. Lucas: Oren. Luna: Oren. Lucas: Saya suka epal. Luna: Saya suka epal. Lucas: Saya tidak suka pisang. Luna: Saya tidak suka pisang. Lucas: Great job everyone. You can now talk about fruits and your preferences in Malay! Luna: This was so much fun. I'm going to practice all week. Lucas: That's the spirit. Thanks for joining us on Learn Malay with Fexingo. Keep practicing, and we'll see you next time. Luna: Jumpa lagi!
