Transcript
- Lucas: Hi there. It is great to be back with you on this episode of Learn Malay with Fexingo. We have been talking a lot about chopping, grating, and blending lately. Luna: Yeah. I feel like my knife skills are getting better, but I still mess up the mixing part. Everything just sits in a pile. Lucas: That happens. Today we are going to fix that. We are focusing on two verbs: campur, which means to mix, and tuang, which means to pour. Luna: Oh, those are super useful. Let us start with campur. Lucas: Okay. The word is campur. Campur. Luna: Campur. Okay. That sounds like comb or combine. Makes sense. Lucas: Exactly. Now let us put it in a sentence. Saya campurkan bahan ini. Saya campurkan bahan ini. Luna: Saya campurkan bahan ini. So I am mixing this ingredient. Lucas: Right. Bahan means ingredient, and ini means this. You are actively combining them. Luna: Saya campurkan bahan ini. Okay. I can say that when I am making dough. Lucas: You can. Let us try it again. Say the whole phrase slowly. Saya campurkan bahan ini. Luna: Saya campurkan bahan ini. There it is. Lucas: Perfect. Now for the second verb. Tuang. Tuang. Luna: Tuang. Is that related to tong? Like pouring into a container? Lucas: Close enough. It just means to pour liquid from one vessel to another. Let us make a request. Luna: Like asking for help in the kitchen? Lucas: Yes. Tolong tuang air ke dalam mangkuk. Tolong tuang air ke dalam mangkuk. Luna: Tolong tuang air ke dalam mangkuk. Please pour water into the bowl. Lucas: Spot on. Tolong means please or help me. Air is water. Ke dalam means into. And mangkuk is bowl. Luna: Mangkuk. I remember that from the utensil episodes. So I am telling someone to pour water into the bowl. Lucas: Exactly. Let us practice the flow. Repeat after me. Tolong tuang air ke dalam mangkuk. Luna: Tolong tuang air ke dalam mangkuk. That feels much more natural than before. Lucas: It does. Now let us look at a common instruction when mixing. Aduk sampai rata. Aduk sampai rata. Luna: Aduk sampai rata. Aduk means stir, right? And sampai means until? Lucas: Correct. Rata means even or flat. So you are stirring until it is smooth and even. Luna: Aduk sampai rata. Got it. Stir until it is smooth. Lucas: Let us say it together. Aduk sampai rata. Luna: Aduk sampai rata. Nice and simple. Lucas: One last phrase for today. Sedia untuk dimasak. Sedia untuk dimasak. Luna: Sedia untuk dimasak. Ready to be cooked. Lucas: Yes. Sedia means ready. Untuk means for. Dimasak is the passive form of cook. Luna: Sedia untuk dimasak. Okay. So once I have mixed and poured, I check if it is ready. Lucas: Exactly. Let us do a quick run-through of all four phrases to lock them in. Luna: Ready. First one: Saya campurkan bahan ini. Lucas: Good. Next: Tolong tuang air ke dalam mangkuk. Luna: Tolong tuang air ke dalam mangkuk. Third: Aduk sampai rata. Lucas: And the last one: Sedia untuk dimasak. Luna: Sedia untuk dimasak. I feel like I can actually cook something now without just burning it. Lucas: That is the goal. If Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, consider supporting us.
