- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and today we have a topic that's close to home. Luna: Ooh, intriguing! What is it? Lucas: Family words. We're going to learn how to say mother, father, and younger sibling in Malay. Luna: Oh that's so good. I've been wanting to talk about my family. Lucas: Perfect. Let's start with the most basic. Mother in Malay is 'ibu'. Luna: Ibu. Lucas: Yes. Ibu. Say it once more. Luna: Ibu. Lucas: Great. Now father is 'bapa'. Luna: Bapa. Lucas: Exactly. Bapa. And younger sibling, either brother or sister, is 'adik'. Luna: Adik. That's nice and short. Lucas: It is. Now let's put them into simple sentences. To say 'This is my mother', you say 'Ini ibu saya'. Luna: Ini ibu saya. Lucas: Perfect. 'Ini' means 'this', 'ibu' is mother, 'saya' means 'my' or 'I'. So 'Ini ibu saya'. Luna: Ini ibu saya. That's easy. Lucas: Now you try: 'Ini bapa saya'. Luna: Ini bapa saya. Lucas: Excellent. And 'Ini adik saya'. Luna: Ini adik saya. Lucas: There you go. Now let's do a little scene. Imagine you're showing me a photo of your family. Luna: Okay. So I point and say, 'Ini ibu saya'. Lucas: Right. And then you point to another person. Luna: Ini bapa saya. Lucas: And then a younger person. Luna: Ini adik saya. Lucas: You did it. Nailed it. Luna: Aww, thanks. So what if I want to ask someone about their family? Lucas: Good question. You can say 'Ini ibu awak?' meaning 'Is this your mother?' But let's focus on the phrases we have today. Luna: Right. So I can just point and say 'Ini ibu saya' and people will understand. Lucas: Absolutely. Let's practice once more. Repeat after me: 'Ini ibu saya'. Luna: Ini ibu saya. Lucas: Ini bapa saya. Luna: Ini bapa saya. Lucas: Ini adik saya. Luna: Ini adik saya. Lucas: Wonderful. Now let's do a quick review. What is mother in Malay? Luna: Ibu. Lucas: Father? Luna: Bapa. Lucas: Younger sibling? Luna: Adik. Lucas: And 'Ini ibu saya' means? Luna: This is my mother. Lucas: You got it. By the way, these words are very useful. You can use them when talking to friends or even when visiting someone's home. Luna: I can imagine saying 'Ini bapa saya' when introducing my dad. Lucas: Exactly. And if you want to say 'my' for family, you just add 'saya' after the word. Luna: So 'ibu saya', 'bapa saya', 'adik saya'. Lucas: Perfect. Let's do one more round. I'll say the English, you say the Malay. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Mother. Luna: Ibu. Lucas: Father. Luna: Bapa. Lucas: Younger sibling. Luna: Adik. Lucas: This is my mother. Luna: Ini ibu saya. Lucas: This is my father. Luna: Ini bapa saya. Lucas: This is my younger sibling. Luna: Ini adik saya.
