Essential Malay Phrases - Super Basic Malay #1

[@0507MAZ]

As a malay, or as myself, i do smirk when foreigners speak malay. its just a good feeling to think that foreigners can speak our language and just makes me happy and just making me want to smile

[@martak6660]

You are , so right about Terima Kasih, whenever I say that they are surprised and always smile :)

[@TomCopeland]

It (feels like) a long time since I was in Malaysia, but I can totally still remember that look of "oh, you're speaking Malay to me! That's cute."

[@aqimjulayhi8798]

'Terima kasih' and 'sama-sama' both literally mean 'receive love/care' and 'same (goes to you)' respectively. It's always a heartwarming way of showing gratitude.

[@LiquidDrumnBreaks]

ha ha yessss

[@hzeeq98]

Malaysian here. I really like your video 👍🏻 I hope it helps people who're learning Malay. Terima Kasih Tom ✨✨

[@TutorTalkTubeKPLim]

Thanks for your efforts. As a local here, I must say that in the past Ive seen when foreigners came here and speak Malay to the locals here, it really put a smile on their face. Yes, it's rather easy to pick up the language.

[@LiquidDrumnBreaks]

Great tutorial! Very eloquent and straight forward.

[@jigxkabs3244]

Very well delivered information! Thank you Mr Tom.

[@thetearsofjungkook4985]

Also guys for normal conversation we don’t pronounce the ‘a’ in things like ‘apa khabar’ as an a, but for so an e, it sounds really formal and awkward if you pronounce it as a

[@mrsjhope9616]

Heyyy yooo Army 👋👋👋👋

[@kucingmerah7563]

org sabah dan sarawak guna a 🤣

[@randomsh-t917]

This is great stuff. We will be traveling to Malaysia in a few weeks and I along with my children will make an effort to learn some basic malay. Thank you for the great video

[@Sarah-yg8kt]

Keep it up man!!! As a native Malay speaker I feel so happy that you can speak it because most foreigners who come here tend to speak English only

[@courtroomstuff219]

Thanks bro, I’m moving to KL in August and can’t wait 😊.

[@Sakura-zu4rz]

I have a frustrating experience. Not knowing where to begin or hitting a plateau can feel demoralizing and make it hard to hit the books and study like you know you should…Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships😘🤗😁

[@teresatan5290]

Subscribed. I want to learn more bahasa thank you Tom 😃

[@hong-landoan6238]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing the next Malay class

[@clayclaytan1318]

Thank u., u make it easier for me to learn. I hope to see more of ur vedios..

[@heerath_singh]

I just want to point out as a Malaysian, it is pronounce seh-lah-maht

[@Beetlejuice80s]

People on the street says the words finished in "a" with the sound of "er" , so saya will sound like "sayer" , with the "a" sound is super formal like a book

[@dio780]

I am s Malaysian and I can confirm that what you have just said is completely incorrect no one says sayer Edit: well actually no but yes

[@bromancerules28]

Tom, I appreciate the insightful video you have uploaded here in regards to essential Malay phrases. Unfortunately as a native Malay speaker, I found a few flaws that I wish to rectify. "Petang" should be pronounced "peuh-tongue" instead of "peuh-tang" (as you did). "Datang" is pronounced "dah-tongue". "Tinggal" is pronounced "ting-gull".

[@chriskelly7408]

Thank you man found this very helpful and easy to follow.

[@maggyjasmine8316]

Thank you /terima kasih

[@markscofield4489]

Great introduction. Excellent, helpful style.

[@jep4sp710]

Hi. I want to give a tips how to pronounce a malay words. If you learn English, the English words and their vowel words is difference, but the malay words and their vowel words is same.

[@dr.indigo4238]

I wish I would have found this video when I first arrived. In my opinion, it is difficult to learn the language because people don't speak their own language with foreigners. They prefer to speak English as a way to practice. Occasionally, I'll have a Grab driver who will practice with me but it's not nearly enough to be fluent. I know so many words... but, I haven't learned how to string the words together to form sentences.

[@daywalkernightstalker3828]

good video man! if you are really into the Malay language you can imitate the Malaysian's radio. (era.fm, suria.fm or ikim.fm)

[@tajreenjahan8254]

Selamat The Tang. Yeah right....Spot on.

[@shahulhameed4181]

I am an indian and i teach Arabic.. So it is fine he can teach malay.. Just because he cant pronounce as malay he is not supposed to teach.. and he is teaching malay to foreigners esp. Westerners so that he is excused for pronounciation.. I think we have to appreciate his enthusiasm and encourage his mission

[@shahulhameed4181]

He is not supposed to leave his teaching... I mean

[@lisabolgom6992]

[@JoshManMate]

Cheers man but you missed the most essential! "I don't speak malay, do you speak english?" ;)

[@TomCopeland]

Haha, good point!

[@MatDan_7]

Very good...I'm malay:)

[@TomCopeland]

Thanks!

[@MatDan_7]

Tom Crewther selamat pagi :)

[@yogeswaranmalayalam424]

Or selamat🤨🤨🤨🤨🙄🙄

[@Esperalzi-Esfaral]

Selamat literally means safe, so 'selamat pagi' literally, 'safe morning'. Your pronunciation is too heavily Westernised. especially when you saya 'DATANG'..you pronoun 'DE-TENG; (your 'ang' in 'datang' is like 'ang' in the English word 'bang' and your 'da' in datang' is like 'e' in 'the', which is wrong). You need to say "DA-TANG (the 'ang' in 'datang' must be pronounced like 'ung' in 'wrung' and 'da' should be pronounced da in 'dark)..sorry to corect you, I am a Malay from Malaysia..

[@dhanajon5528]

Esperalzi Esperal ikr, i was a bit upset with his pronunciation since hes teaching people with the wrong pronunciation. he probably hasn't memorise the malay alphabet yet...

[@hinaet7792]

Agree with the westernised accent.

[@aihara2799]

Im sorry Selamat Pagi is used in the morning Selamat petang is in the evening Selamat Malam is used nighttime

[@jetalvarez5659]

[@raaliyarayn4142]

Ok if alllah wishes i will teach join me to fbg (Raaliya Rayn)

[@raaliyarayn4142]

And me teach me language english is dificult to me

[@vivianbarrera8663]

Malaysians are upset with the pronunciation... ay yoooohhhhh, keep calm everyone, Malay is not his mother tongue, cant you appreciate a bit for sharing what he know in Malay? It may not be the best, but at least I understood everything he said. I appreciate his effort for doing this. If he did this with Tagalog or Filipino words, Im pretty sure Filipinos will appreciate what he is doing. Im 100 percent sure about that and he will get more views than this. Thanks Tom, today, It least I have increased my Malay vocabulary.

[@bingbangbully]

I'm a native speaker. Happy to help anyone trying to learn. Just add comment

[@lifeassalma1190]

I miss Malaysia 😓😓

[@thbzl]

lifeassalma 11 why im from Malaysia

[@Nashiousified]

Me too! Lived there for 5 years as a kid and sadly haven't been back since I was 13 :(

[@ZaFalPai]

Actually we don't put this - " ' " (I actually don't know how to spell it) in 'Maaf' word. :) But if I'm wrong, prove it, my local people.😂

[@stephenyarlett5292]

You are correct there is no apostrophe ' in maaf. However it is commonly used to show a glottal stop. In malay two a's together are pronounced separately with a slight glottal stop so they sound as separate syllables rather than one long syllable. Ma-af rather than mahf or marf.

[@eedhyachannel5727]

No saya but saye..!!!!

[@flyingfishstudio813]

Its hard to say,lol

[@kabirnoori5609]

Hello your problem is speaking so fast

[@mongkoktakeaway]

The reason you get a smirk with "termia kasih" is because you're butchering it and pronouncing every letter. As someone who presumably lives in Malaysia, you should know it's a relaxed/lazy language, in my time here I've never had any Malay person say "selamat" as a whole, it's always got the relaxed/lazy spin on it, "sela pagi". Same with "terima kasih", it always hurts hearing the Brits say it, but better to try then not I suppose.

[@isgiant78]

Im in malay selamat petang afternoon selamat malam good night

[@wouldlearning1413]

Great explanation

[@missscarlet4586]

Selamat Petang is "Good Evening". Selamat Tengah Hari is "Good Afternoon"

[@lucmanereme2304]

is good ,you have wasap

[@อามีเราะห์92]

Nama saya Meya. 😁

[@kimaden6772]

Cantik nama

[@justsomenormalstar3179]

U can just use english word in malaysia because 80% of the people there know how to speak english like me

[@aqimjulayhi8798]

ShameelPlays GT yes, however speaking Malay gives any foreign tourists slightly more priority. Plus, it's always nicer for a tourist to learn our language.

[@kucingmerah7563]

Aqim Julayhi agreed,i love to see how the foreigners show effort to learn our language

[@thetearsofjungkook4985]

As a Malaysian, the pronunciation is making me cringe tbh😂😫

[@Himelfragrance]

Do not try to prove here that You know better than him, If you Malaysian that's super simple to know the language better than a foreigner. He is ok and He made the video for his Audience.

[@0507MAZ]

@@Himelfragrance as a malaysian, i dont mind hearing foreigners speaking our language since it actually make me happy instead of cringe. so dont worry about it, some malaysians just rarely hear foreigners speak malay

[@mongkoktakeaway]

This video actually needs removed because he's using english vowels instead of Malay vowels.
