- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Hi everyone. You know, Lucas, last episode we learned about mouth and teeth. Lucas: We did. Mulut and gigi. Good stuff. So today, let's keep going with body parts. Luna: Oh, I love that. What are we learning? Lucas: Hands and feet. In Malay, hand is tangan. Tangan. Luna: Tangan. Tangan. That sounds like 'tung' with an 'an'. Lucas: Yeah, exactly. Tangan. And foot is kaki. Kaki. Luna: Kaki. Like the word 'khaki' but without the 'h'? Kaki. Lucas: Right. Kaki. Let's say them together. Tangan. Luna: Tangan. Lucas: Kaki. Luna: Kaki. Lucas: Great. Now, we can use them in simple sentences. For example, 'I have two hands.' In Malay, Saya ada dua tangan. Luna: Saya ada dua tangan. So 'saya' is I, 'ada' is have, 'dua' is two, and 'tangan' is hands. Lucas: Exactly. Saya ada dua tangan. Try it. Luna: Saya ada dua tangan. Lucas: Perfect. Now, 'I have two feet.' Saya ada dua kaki. Luna: Saya ada dua kaki. That's easy. Lucas: Yeah. Saya ada dua kaki. Now, let's make it a bit more descriptive. 'My hands are big.' Tangan saya besar. Luna: Tangan saya besar. So 'saya' becomes possessive? Tangan saya. Lucas: Right. In Malay, possession is just word order. 'Tangan saya' means 'my hand' or 'my hands'. So 'Tangan saya besar' - My hands are big. Luna: Tangan saya besar. Lucas: Now, 'My feet are long.' Kaki saya panjang. Luna: Kaki saya panjang. Panjang means long. Kaki saya panjang. Lucas: Yes! So we have four phrases today. Let's review them all. First: tangan. Luna: Tangan. Lucas: Kaki. Luna: Kaki. Lucas: Saya ada dua tangan. Luna: Saya ada dua tangan. Lucas: Saya ada dua kaki. Luna: Saya ada dua kaki. Lucas: Tangan saya besar. Luna: Tangan saya besar. Lucas: Kaki saya panjang. Luna: Kaki saya panjang. Lucas: Excellent! Now let's imagine a little scene. You're at a beach, and you look down at your feet. Luna: Okay. Lucas: You say, 'My feet are long.' In Malay? Luna: Kaki saya panjang. Lucas: Then you hold up your hands and say, 'My hands are big.'? Luna: Tangan saya besar. Lucas: And then you wiggle your fingers and toes and say, 'I have two hands and two feet.'? Luna: Saya ada dua tangan dan dua kaki. Lucas: Oh, you added 'dan' for 'and'! That's fantastic. Luna: Thanks. I remembered from the restaurant episode. Lucas: Nice callback. So today we learned tangan, kaki, and how to describe them. Let's say them one more time. Luna: Tangan. Lucas: Kaki. Luna: Saya ada dua tangan. Lucas: Saya ada dua kaki. Luna: Tangan saya besar. Lucas: Kaki saya panjang. Lucas: Great job, Luna. And to our listeners, practice these phrases. Use them when you look at your own hands and feet. Luna: Yeah, talk about your body in Malay! It's fun. Lucas: That's all for today's episode of Learn Malay with Fexingo. We'll be back with another lesson soon. Luna: Until then, selamat tinggal! Lucas: Selamat tinggal, everyone!
