- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Episode 52, can you believe it? Lucas: I know, right? Feels like we just started. Today we're tackling something super practical: the days of the week. Luna: Oh, finally! I always mix up Tuesday and Thursday in Malay. Let's do this. Lucas: Okay, let's start with Monday. In Malay, Monday is Isnin. Say it with me: Isnin. Luna: Isnin. Lucas: Great. Tuesday is Selasa. Selasa. Luna: Selasa. Lucas: Wednesday is Rabu. Rabu. Luna: Rabu. Lucas: Thursday is Khamis. Khamis. Luna: Khamis. Lucas: Friday is Jumaat. Jumaat. Luna: Jumaat. Lucas: Saturday is Sabtu. Sabtu. Luna: Sabtu. Lucas: And Sunday is Ahad. Ahad. Luna: Ahad. Lucas: Good! Now let's review them in order. I'll say the English day, you try the Malay. Monday. Luna: Isnin. Lucas: Tuesday. Luna: Selasa. Lucas: Wednesday. Luna: Rabu. Lucas: Thursday. Luna: Khamis. Lucas: Friday. Luna: Jumaat. Lucas: Saturday. Luna: Sabtu. Lucas: Sunday. Luna: Ahad. Lucas: Perfect! Now, let's use them in a sentence. To say 'Today is Monday', you say 'Hari ini hari Isnin'. Say it after me: Hari ini hari Isnin. Luna: Hari ini hari Isnin. Lucas: Your turn. Today is Tuesday. Luna: Hari ini hari Selasa. Lucas: Today is Wednesday. Luna: Hari ini hari Rabu. Lucas: Awesome. So the pattern is: 'Hari ini hari' plus the day. Let's try a quick dialogue. I'll ask 'Hari ini hari apa?' meaning 'What day is today?' You answer using today's day. Let's pretend today is Friday. Ready? Luna: Ready! Lucas: Hari ini hari apa? Luna: Hari ini hari Jumaat. Lucas: Great! Now, let's practice saying 'I like Monday' - 'Saya suka Isnin'. But first, remember 'Saya suka' means 'I like'. So 'Saya suka Isnin'. Luna: Saya suka Isnin. Lucas: How about 'I like Saturday'? Luna: Saya suka Sabtu. Lucas: Yeah! Who doesn't like Saturday? Now, let's review all the days one more time. Repeat after me: Isnin. Luna: Isnin. Lucas: Selasa. Luna: Selasa. Lucas: Rabu. Luna: Rabu. Lucas: Khamis. Luna: Khamis. Lucas: Jumaat. Luna: Jumaat. Lucas: Sabtu. Luna: Sabtu. Lucas: Ahad. Luna: Ahad. Lucas: Excellent! Now you can talk about days in Malay. Practice with your own schedule: 'Hari ini hari apa?' and answer. Thanks for joining us on Learn Malay with Fexingo.
