Latest / Learn Malay with Fexingo / Ordering Iced Drinks in Malay
Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, welcome back! Ready to learn some more Malay? Luna: You know it! I was just at a mamak stall yesterday and I wanted to order something cold but I didn't know how to say it. Lucas: Oh perfect! That's exactly what we're doing today. We've learned how to order hot drinks, but now let's get into iced drinks. Luna: Yes! Because in this heat, I need something cold. Lucas: And you know, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress with Malay, a couple of dollars a month genuinely keeps these going. Buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo — it makes a real difference. Luna: Absolutely. Every little bit helps us keep making these episodes. Thanks to those who support us. Lucas: Alright, so first word: 'air sejuk'. That means cold water. 'Air' is water, 'sejuk' is cold. Repeat after me: air sejuk. Luna: Air sejuk. So 'air' we know from before, and 'sejuk' is cold. Got it. Lucas: Exactly. Now, if you want to order it, you say: Saya mahu air sejuk. That means 'I want cold water'. Luna: Saya mahu air sejuk. So it's just like our other orders but with 'sejuk' added. Lucas: Perfect. Next: kopi ais. That's iced coffee. 'Kopi' you know is coffee, and 'ais' means ice or iced. So kopi ais. Luna: Kopi ais. I love that. So I could say: Saya mahu kopi ais. Lucas: Yes! Saya mahu kopi ais. And finally, teh ais. Iced tea. 'Teh' is tea, so teh ais. Luna: Teh ais. So three new drinks: air sejuk, kopi ais, teh ais. Lucas: Let's practice all three. Repeat after me: air sejuk. Luna: Air sejuk. Lucas: Kopi ais. Luna: Kopi ais. Lucas: Teh ais. Luna: Teh ais. Lucas: Great! Now let's use them in full sentences. Saya mahu air sejuk. Luna: Saya mahu air sejuk. Lucas: Saya mahu kopi ais. Luna: Saya mahu kopi ais. Lucas: Saya mahu teh ais. Luna: Saya mahu teh ais. Lucas: Awesome! So imagine you're at a mamak. You're feeling hot. What do you say? Luna: Hmm... Saya mahu air sejuk. Lucas: Perfect! Or if you want a caffeine kick: Luna: Saya mahu kopi ais. Lucas: There you go. And if you want something refreshing: Luna: Saya mahu teh ais. Lucas: Yes! You've got it. Now, let's do a quick review. I'll say the English, you say the Malay. Cold water. Luna: Air sejuk. Lucas: Iced coffee. Luna: Kopi ais. Lucas: Iced tea. Luna: Teh ais. Lucas: I want cold water. Luna: Saya mahu air sejuk. Lucas: I want iced coffee. Luna: Saya mahu kopi ais. Lucas: I want iced tea. Luna: Saya mahu teh ais. Lucas: You're nailing it, Luna! Now, next time you're at a mamak, you can order with confidence. Luna: I can't wait to try it. Thanks, Lucas! Lucas: And remember, if you want to support the show, buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Keep practicing these phrases, and we'll see you next time!
