And if you taste something and it's delicious, you say sedap. Luna: Sedap. Yeah, I hope I get to use that. Lucas: You will. Let's put it together in a little scene. Imagine you're at a satay stall.

Luna: Sedap! That's easy. Lucas: Right. Let's practice the whole exchange. Repeat: Saya mahu satu. Luna: Saya mahu satu. Lucas: Berapa harga? Luna: Berapa harga? Lucas: Sedap. Luna: Sedap.
