Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo. Ready for episode 186? Luna: Yeah, I'm excited! What are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're talking about household chores. We'll learn two verbs: cuci and sapu. Luna: Cuci and sapu. Okay, what do they mean? Lucas: Cuci means to wash or clean. Sapu means to sweep. Let's start with cuci. Luna: Cuci. Like washing dishes? Lucas: Exactly. For example, 'Saya cuci pinggan' means 'I wash the dishes.' Let's say it together: Saya cuci pinggan. Luna: Saya cuci pinggan. Lucas: Perfect. And 'Dia cuci baju' means 'He/she washes clothes.' Dia cuci baju. Luna: Dia cuci baju. Lucas: Great. Now let's move to sapu. 'Saya sapu lantai' means 'I sweep the floor.' Saya sapu lantai. Luna: Saya sapu lantai. Lucas: And 'Dia sapu lantai' means 'He/she sweeps the floor.' Dia sapu lantai. Luna: Dia sapu lantai. So cuci is for washing, sapu is for sweeping. Lucas: You got it. Now let's do a quick practice. I'll say the English, you say the Malay. Luna: Okay, hit me. Lucas: I wash the dishes. Luna: Saya cuci pinggan. Lucas: She sweeps the floor. Luna: Dia sapu lantai. Lucas: He washes clothes. Luna: Dia cuci baju. Lucas: Excellent! You know, this reminds me of something.

How do you say 'I'm washing the dishes'? Luna: Saya cuci pinggan. Lucas: And if they ask about your brother? Luna: Dia sapu lantai. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's mix it up. I'll say a sentence, and you tell me if it uses cuci or sapu. Luna: Okay. Lucas: Saya cuci baju. Luna: Cuci. Lucas: Dia sapu lantai. Luna: Sapu. Lucas: Saya cuci pinggan. Luna: Cuci. Lucas: You're nailing this. Let's do a quick repetition round. Repeat after me: cuci. Luna: Cuci. Lucas: Sapu. Luna: Sapu. Lucas: Saya cuci pinggan. Luna: Saya cuci pinggan. Lucas: Dia cuci baju. Luna: Dia cuci baju. Lucas: Saya sapu lantai. Luna: Saya sapu lantai. Lucas: Dia sapu lantai. Luna: Dia sapu lantai. Lucas: Awesome. Now let's try a mini dialogue. I'll be the friend, you be you. Luna: Okay. Lucas: Apa awak buat? Luna: Saya cuci pinggan. Lucas: Dan adik awak? Luna: Dia sapu lantai. Lucas: That was perfect! You even remembered adik from a previous episode. Luna: Yeah, I remember that one. So today we learned cuci and sapu, right? Lucas: Right. Cuci means wash or clean, sapu means sweep. And we practiced sentences with 'Saya' and 'Dia'. Luna: I feel like I can actually use these at home. Lucas: That's the goal. Keep practicing, and next time we'll learn more household verbs. Thanks for listening to Learn Malay with Fexingo.
