Transcript
- Lucas: Hey Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Malay with Fexingo? Luna: Yes! I've been practicing. Today I want to talk about time — like 'today' and 'tomorrow'. Lucas: Great idea. Let's start with 'hari ini' — that means 'today'. Luna: Hari ini. Hari ini. That sounds nice. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's add the day: 'Hari ini hari Isnin.' — 'Today is Monday.' Luna: Hari ini hari Isnin. So 'hari ini' for today, then 'hari Isnin' for Monday. Lucas: Exactly. Now try saying 'Today is Tuesday' — 'Hari ini hari Selasa.' Luna: Hari ini hari Selasa. That's easy. Lucas: Now let's talk about tomorrow. 'Esok' means 'tomorrow'. Luna: Esok. Esok. Lucas: For example: 'Esok hari Selasa.' — 'Tomorrow is Tuesday.' Luna: Esok hari Selasa. So if today is Monday, tomorrow is Tuesday. Lucas: Right. Now you try: 'Tomorrow is Wednesday.' — 'Esok hari Rabu.' Luna: Esok hari Rabu. Got it. Lucas: Now for yesterday: 'Semalam' means 'yesterday'. Luna: Semalam. Semalam. That's fun to say. Lucas: So if today is Monday, yesterday was Sunday: 'Semalam hari Ahad.' Luna: Semalam hari Ahad. I remember Ahad is Sunday from the days episode. Lucas: Awesome. Now let's practice all three. I'll say a day, you use the right time word. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Today is Monday. Luna: Hari ini hari Isnin. Lucas: Tomorrow is Tuesday. Luna: Esok hari Selasa. Lucas: Yesterday was Sunday. Luna: Semalam hari Ahad. Yes! That felt good. Lucas: You nailed it. Now let's imagine a little conversation. I'll say something in English, you say it in Malay. Luna: Let's do it. Lucas: Today is Friday. Luna: Hari ini hari Jumaat. Lucas: Tomorrow is Saturday. Luna: Esok hari Sabtu. Lucas: Yesterday was Thursday. Luna: Semalam hari Khamis. Lucas: Perfect! You're using these time words like a pro. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. I love how easy it is once you practice a few times. Lucas: That's the Fexingo way. Repetition without boredom. Luna: So can I make my own sentence now? Lucas: Of course. Go ahead. Luna: Semalam hari Isnin. Hari ini hari Selasa. Esok hari Rabu. Lucas: That's a whole week in three sentences! Well done. Luna: I feel like I can talk about plans now. Like 'Esok saya pergi kerja.' — 'Tomorrow I go to work.' Lucas: Yes! And 'Hari ini saya belajar Bahasa Melayu.' — 'Today I learn Malay.' Luna: Oh, that's a good one. Hari ini saya belajar Bahasa Melayu. Lucas: And 'Semalam saya makan nasi lemak.' — 'Yesterday I ate nasi lemak.' Luna: Semalam saya makan nasi lemak. Yummy. Lucas: Alright, let's wrap up with a quick review. Luna: Sounds good. Lucas: Hari ini. Luna: Today. Lucas: Esok. Luna: Tomorrow. Lucas: Semalam. Luna: Yesterday. Lucas: Hari ini hari Isnin. Luna: Today is Monday. Lucas: Esok hari Selasa. Luna: Tomorrow is Tuesday. Lucas: Semalam hari Ahad. Luna: Yesterday was Sunday. Lucas: You've got it. Practice these whenever you can, and soon they'll be second nature. Luna: I'll practice with my daily routine. Thanks for another fun episode, Lucas! Lucas: You're welcome, Luna.
