- Lucas: Okay, Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Malay with Fexingo? Luna: Yes! I've been practicing our cinema phrases. 'Saya nak tengok wayang.' I feel so ready for a movie night. Lucas: Nice! But today, let's imagine you're going on a trip. You arrive at a hotel. What do you say? Luna: Oh, I'd probably just stand there awkwardly. Help me out! Lucas: First, you need to say you have a reservation. In Malay: 'Saya ada tempahan.' Luna: Saya ada tempahan. Lucas: Perfect. 'Tempahan' means reservation. So 'Saya ada tempahan' — I have a reservation. Luna: Saya ada tempahan. Got it. And if I don't have one? Lucas: Then you say 'Saya nak satu bilik.' That means 'I want a room.' Let's break it down: 'Saya nak' — I want, 'satu' — one, 'bilik' — room. Luna: Saya nak satu bilik. Lucas: Great. Now, you'll want to know the price. Ask: 'Berapa harga semalaman?' — How much per night? Luna: Berapa harga semalaman? Lucas: Yes. 'Semalaman' means 'per night'. So 'Berapa harga semalaman?' — How much is it per night? Luna: Berapa harga semalaman? Okay, that's useful. What if I want a double bed? Lucas: Then say 'Saya nak bilik double.' 'Double' is the same in Malay for a double bed room. So 'Saya nak bilik double.' Luna: Saya nak bilik double. Lucas: Perfect. And maybe you want to see the room first. Say 'Boleh saya lihat bilik?' — 'Can I see the room?' Luna: Boleh saya lihat bilik? Lucas: Exactly. 'Boleh' means can, 'lihat' means see. So 'Boleh saya lihat bilik?' — Can I see the room? Luna: Okay, let me try all of them. Saya ada tempahan. Saya nak satu bilik. Berapa harga semalaman? Saya nak bilik double. Boleh saya lihat bilik? Lucas: Wow, that was smooth! You sound like a seasoned traveler already. Luna: Thanks! I can already picture myself at the front desk. Lucas: Let's do a mini scene. I'll be the hotel receptionist. You arrive. Luna: Okay. Selamat petang. Saya ada tempahan. Lucas: Selamat petang. Nama? Luna: Luna. Saya nak bilik double. Berapa harga semalaman? Lucas: RM150 semalaman. Luna: Boleh saya lihat bilik? Lucas: Tentu. This way. Luna: I love that! I actually understood everything. Lucas: See? You're already using the phrases naturally. Let's review once more. Luna: Sure. Saya ada tempahan. Saya nak satu bilik. Berapa harga semalaman? Saya nak bilik double. Boleh saya lihat bilik? Lucas: Flawless. Now, if Fexingo has been helping you make progress like this, consider supporting the show. It keeps us ad-free and focused on teaching.

What if you want to ask for the wifi password? Luna: Ooh, that's important. How do I say that? Lucas: You can say 'Kata laluan wifi apa?' — 'What is the wifi password?' Luna: Kata laluan wifi apa? That's handy. Lucas: And if you need extra towels, say 'Saya nak tuala tambahan.' Luna: Saya nak tuala tambahan. Perfect. I feel ready for my hotel stay. Lucas: Great! Keep practicing these phrases, and you'll check in like a pro. That's all for today's episode of Learn Malay with Fexingo. Luna: See you next time! Selamat tinggal!
