- Lucas: Okay Luna, welcome back to Learn Malay with Fexingo! Episode 15 already. Luna: Wow, fifteen episodes? That feels huge. I still remember counting from one to five in episode ten. Lucas: Right, satu, dua, tiga... You've come a long way. Today we're going to learn some family words. Luna: Ooh, family! Like how to say mom and dad? Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with the most basic. Mother in Malay is 'ibu'. Luna: Ibu. That sounds soft. Lucas: It does. Ibu. Can you say it? Luna: Ibu. Lucas: Perfect. And father is 'bapa'. Luna: Bapa. Bapa. Lucas: Good. So ibu and bapa. Mother and father. Luna: Ibu and bapa. That's simple. Lucas: Now, what about siblings? If you have an older sister, you call her 'kakak'. Luna: Kakak. Like 'kakak'? That's cute. Lucas: Kakak. Older sister. And older brother is 'abang'. Luna: Abang. So abang is big brother. Lucas: Exactly. So we have four words today: ibu, bapa, kakak, abang. Luna: Ibu, bapa, kakak, abang. I'm going to mix them up. Lucas: You won't. Let's practice. Who is this? Ibu. Luna: Mother! Lucas: Yes. And this? Bapa. Luna: Father. Lucas: Great. Now, if I say 'kakak'? Luna: Older sister. Lucas: And 'abang'? Luna: Older brother. Lucas: You got it. You're a natural. Luna: Aww, thanks. So how do I say 'my mother' in Malay? Lucas: Good question. You can say 'ibu saya'. Remember 'saya' means 'my' or 'I'. Luna: Okay, ibu saya. My mother. Lucas: Yep. And my father is 'bapa saya'. Luna: Bapa saya. Lucas: My older sister is 'kakak saya'. Luna: Kakak saya. Lucas: My older brother is 'abang saya'. Luna: Abang saya. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's do a little scene. Imagine you're introducing your family to me. Luna: Okay. Umm... Hi Lucas, this is my family. Lucas: In Malay! Try saying 'Ini ibu saya' — This is my mother. Luna: Ini ibu saya. Lucas: Great! And then 'Ini bapa saya'. Luna: Ini bapa saya. Lucas: And 'Ini kakak saya'. Luna: Ini kakak saya. Lucas: And 'Ini abang saya'. Luna: Ini abang saya. Lucas: Wow, you just introduced your whole family. Luna: I know! That feels so real. I don't actually have an older sister though. Lucas: That's okay. You can pretend. So, let me ask you: 'Siapa nama ibu awak?' — What is your mother's name? Luna: Oh, from episode seven! 'Siapa nama' means 'what name'. So 'Siapa nama ibu awak?' — What is your mother's name? Lucas: Exactly. So you can answer: 'Nama ibu saya...' and say a name. Luna: Nama ibu saya... Let's say Mary. Lucas: Great. And 'Nama bapa saya John'. Luna: Nama bapa saya John. Lucas: You're really good at this. Luna: Thanks. I think I need to practice the words more. Let me repeat: ibu, bapa, kakak, abang. Lucas: Say them one more time slowly. Luna: Ibu... bapa... kakak... abang. Lucas: Flawless. Now, let's do a quick quiz. I'll say the English, you say the Malay. Luna: Bring it on. Lucas: Mother. Luna: Ibu. Lucas: Father. Luna: Bapa. Lucas: Older sister. Luna: Kakak. Lucas: Older brother. Luna: Abang. Lucas: You aced it. Luna: Yay! So these are really useful. Like if I'm at a friend's house, I can say 'Ini ibu saya'. Lucas: Exactly. Or if you see a photo, you can point and say 'Ini kakak saya'. Luna: Nice. So today's words: ibu, bapa, kakak, abang. And we already know 'saya' and 'nama' and 'siapa'. Lucas: Right. You can now have a basic conversation about family. That's powerful. Luna: I feel powerful. Okay, let me try a full sentence. 'Ini ibu saya. Nama ibu saya Mary.' Lucas: Beautiful. Luna: And 'Ini bapa saya. Nama bapa saya John.' Lucas: Perfect. Now try with kakak. Luna: Ini kakak saya. Nama kakak saya... Anna. Lucas: And abang. Luna: Ini abang saya. Nama abang saya... Tom. Lucas: You just introduced a whole family. That's amazing. Luna: I know! I'm really getting the hang of this. Thanks Lucas. Lucas: You're welcome. Remember, listeners, practice these words with your own family. Say 'Ini ibu saya' when you see your mom. It'll stick. Luna: Yeah, and don't forget to say it with a smile. Lucas: That's right. So let's wrap up today's episode of Learn Malay with Fexingo. We covered family: ibu, bapa, kakak, abang. Luna: Ibu, bapa, kakak, abang. I think I've got them. Lucas: Great job today, Luna. And to all our listeners, keep practicing. Sampai jumpa lagi! Luna: Sampai jumpa lagi! See you next time.
