Transcript
- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo, Episode 48! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Hey Lucas, today are we finally putting all the face parts together? We've done so many episodes on body parts! Lucas: Exactly. We've covered a lot — eyes, ears, nose, mouth, teeth, neck, head, hair — but we never did a big review. So today we're going to review all the face parts. Luna: Oh, I love a good review. Let me see if I can remember them. Okay... kepala is head. Lucas: That's right! Kepala. Let's say it together: kepala. Luna: Kepala. Lucas: Good. And rambut is hair. Rambut. Luna: Rambut. Lucas: Now what about our eyes? You remember that one? Luna: Mata. That's eyes. Saya ada mata. Lucas: Perfect. Saya ada mata. And ears? Luna: Telinga. Saya ada telinga. Lucas: Excellent. Mouth? Luna: Mulut. Saya ada mulut. Lucas: Teeth? Luna: Gigi. Saya ada gigi. Wait, Lucas — I think there's one more. Hidung? That's nose. Lucas: Yes! Hidung. And don't forget leher — neck. Luna: Leher! Right. Saya ada leher. Lucas: So let's put them all in one sentence. Ready? Saya ada kepala, rambut, mata, telinga, hidung, mulut, gigi, dan leher. Luna: That's a mouthful! Let me try: Saya ada kepala, rambut, mata, telinga, hidung, mulut, gigi, dan leher. Lucas: That was almost perfect. Just remember — gigi is teeth, not gigi with a different tone. You said it right: gigi. Luna: Okay. Gigi. Got it. So how do I say 'My hair is long'? Lucas: Rambut saya panjang. 'Rambut' is hair, 'saya' is my, 'panjang' is long. Luna: Rambut saya panjang. That's easy. And 'My eyes are big'? Lucas: Mata saya besar. 'Besar' means big. Luna: Mata saya besar. Nice. This would be a great way to describe someone, like 'He has a big nose' — Hidung dia besar. Lucas: Exactly! Hidung dia besar. Or 'His teeth are white' — Gigi dia putih. Luna: Gigi dia putih. Oh, I can describe anyone now! What about 'Her hair is short'? Lucas: Rambut dia pendek. 'Pendek' is short. Luna: Rambut dia pendek. Perfect. So let me practice a full description: 'She has long hair, big eyes, and a small nose.' How do I say that? Lucas: Slowly now: Dia ada rambut panjang, mata besar, dan hidung kecil. 'Kecil' is small. Luna: Dia ada rambut panjang, mata besar, dan hidung kecil. Woo! I described someone in Malay! Lucas: You did. That's fantastic. Now I want to play a quick game. I'll touch a part of my face, and you name it in Malay. Ready? Luna: Ready! Lucas: What's this? Luna: Kepala! Lucas: And this? Luna: Rambut! Lucas: And this? Luna: Mata! Lucas: And this? Luna: Telinga! Lucas: And this? Luna: Hidung! Lucas: And this? Luna: Mulut! Lucas: And this? Luna: Gigi! Lucas: And finally? Luna: Leher! I got them all! Lucas: You did. That's all eight face parts. Let's do a quick chant: kepala, rambut, mata, telinga, hidung, mulut, gigi, leher. Luna: Kepala, rambut, mata, telinga, hidung, mulut, gigi, leher. Lucas: One more time: kepala, rambut, mata, telinga, hidung, mulut, gigi, leher. Luna: Kepala, rambut, mata, telinga, hidung, mulut, gigi, leher. I think I've got it now. Lucas: Now you can describe a person's face in Malay. That's really useful for conversations. Luna: Yeah, like at the market: 'The woman has long hair and big eyes.' Dia ada rambut panjang dan mata besar. Lucas: Exactly. Or at the park: 'The man has a big nose and short hair.' Lelaki itu ada hidung besar dan rambut pendek. Luna: Lelaki itu ada hidung besar dan rambut pendek. Perfect. I'm ready to describe everyone I meet. Lucas: That's the spirit. Remember, practice these words every day. Look in the mirror and name your face parts in Malay. Luna: Good idea. 'Mata saya besar. Hidung saya kecil. Rambut saya panjang.' Oh wait, my hair isn't long. Lucas: That's okay. You can say 'Rambut saya pendek.' Luna: Rambut saya pendek. Right. Well, that's all for today. Thanks for this review, Lucas. I feel like I really know my face parts now. Lucas: Glad to help. Thanks for learning with Fexingo. Practice these, and we'll see you next time for more Malay! Luna: Bye bye! Selamat tinggal! Lucas: Selamat tinggal!
