Portuguese stayed in Melaka from 1511 to 1640. That s 129 years of assimilation with the local malay people.

Interesting video. Malay language was used as lingua franca as communication bridge during Malacca Sultanate much influenced by Portuguese, Dutch, English and people around the world. Language keep us closer.

[@sakovichdaeng8937]

Good information🙏👍. Spread it. Tell it. Wawarkan kehebatan Bahasa Melayu...🇲🇾✍️

That also shows that malay loaned so much words from others . Period

[@eksentrisitas587]

No, before Malacca Sultanate era... Srivijaya Kingdoms was the first period of Malay Language that spread being of lingua franca... In any case, Malacca Sultanate itself was built by a person from Srivijaya Kingdoms... You just bring "Malacca Sultanate" word but you forget the Srivijaya Kingdoms😂 Because you are already know if you say "Srivijaya" it close to Sumatera not Malay Peninsula, so you just say "Malacca Sultanate" instead of promoting Malay Peninsula

Many of the Malay words are also from Indian and Chinese - would definitely annoy a bigoted nationalist to ever want to admit that.

[@judyoh9008]

It was fun, both were able to say "saya" and "Melayu", both got it wrong for "bercakap" and ^bahasa". Bruno's pronunciation of "bahasa" is wrong but much better and closer than you aunt's pronuntiation.

[@hbs4658]

Not surprising as Melaka was an important trading port and was later colonized by the Portuguese Dutch and British

[@amanpalestina9664]

When I was in Japan, my Brazilian classmates were GROSSYLY surprised that I understand their language and sang old Portuguese songs. When I sang the "Burung Kakak Tua" (Cacatoa bird) song every Brazilian jumped on their feet, excited.

[@amanpalestina9664]

The song goes like this burung CACATOA (then the Brazilian knew already its a bird) hinggap di JENDELA (surely) nenek sudah TOA (grandma is old) giginya tinggal dua. (left with two teeth) letchum, letchum, letchum mulala (a hymn) letchum letchum letchum mulalaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ... burung CACATOA

[@bungaialoevera]

Soldadu may be the old word used in Malay but among our people (the Dayak (Iban) of Sarawak), we still use the word "sedadu"... which is close enough.

[@andrewhwang7920]

I know it as soldadu.

[@andrewhwang7920]

The current word in vogue is "askar" which is derived from the Arabic meaning an army or a collective of soldadu. "Askar" evolved in the Malay language to mean an individual soldier today. The term for an army was replaced by "tentera" instead. "Sedadu" as used in Sarawak in Malaysia is actually identical to the Indonesian word "serdadu" which was derived from the Portuguese "soldado". People forget that the Portuguese were in Indonesia too, & far longer at that!

[@tomiemyspace5054]

Those of poetic or linguistic people still know soldadu as soldier. It's really poetic to use soldadu in Malay poem.

[@deltahunter2302]

Kelantan still use it normally for refering to Thai soldiers. Sedadu!😅

[@TranquillityInFlames]

@@andrewhwang7920 Askar is derived from Persian word Lashkar. Army in Arabic is Jaish.

Hey bro my dad is from Portugal and I’m half Malaysian..muitas palavras malaias são tiradas do português por exemplo sabonetes, armários, toalhas, vasos, escola, igreja, garfos, janelas, bolas e muito mais..salam dari Malaysia😁😁

[@sakovichdaeng8937]

It sounds good. I like to learn Portuguese; is it easy or uneasy?

[@koolerkaida8002]

I've learned a little bit of Brazilian Portuguese, and when I found out similarities like bola and natal it was very surprising but at the same time makes sense because of the history Malaysia had with Portugal. hope more ties will be made between the 2 countries 😄😄.

[@MrTipsoTV]

There would be weird if there's no similarities between Malay & Portuguese, beside Portuguese has colonized Tanah Melayu for 130 years since 1511 - 1641. Btw this video is nice

[@shamfulzamriaf]

I believe some people in Kelantan nearest the Thailand boarder still use the word soldadu. Thai people near the boarder also use the same word refer to cops

[@dzulkar9umar]

thats why malay language is easy to learn as majority of the word were borrowed and adapted from other foreign language.

[@ezham5152]

Melayu adalah asas dari timur tengah yg selama ini selalu digunakan dalam sanskrit tetapi sanskrit adalah bahasa dari timur tengah dan bukan bahasa dr india Buat semak dari Puan Zaharah tentang Bangsa Melayu yang merupakan bahasa ke 2 dalam peradapan dunia. So jangan claimed bahasa lain itu adalah diambil utk digunakan dalam bahasa Melayu

[@AlphaCenturi16]

@Pekasam Laksa sanskrit origated from South Asia and Mrs Zaharah claims have been claimed has false and wrong btw. Malay genes are not the 2nd oldest in the world. Check the facts. Malay is fairly a new language and it borrowed many elements from other languages

[@zaharizak]

@@AlphaCenturi16 We all know that language evolves almost every day. Old words are sometimes modified and new words keep coming. The fact is that every race/ethnic group has its own original language no matter how little they were. As civilisation/modernisation expanded, so is languages. To say that Malay is a fairly new language is not true at all. So is English language. They borrowed many many many words from all over. Latin.. Greek.. whatever. Languages evolve.. period.

[@raudhatunnur]

The impact of Portuguese colonialism in Southeast Asia back then, and the people adopted some words from Portuguese like Jendela (window), Garfu (forks) and some others. Bahasa being used in several countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and several Southeast countries now. Soldadu might be used by Melayu Indonesian, but Melayu Malaysian are using word Askar for army. Bahasa in Indonesia and Malaysia is similar but some words are using for different meaning. Like PERCUMA, means wasteful in Indonesia, but Malaysian use by the meaning of (free).

[@absolute_abundance]

Not just adopt , we Melayu have no words for that.

[@wewenang5167]

@@absolute_abundance that what's adopted means lol, if we had it it would be replaced.

[@akmalrusydi2730]

soldado is not a regular old Malay word, we used "perajurit" which means the same thing but influenced by sanskrit i think.

Then for a while, it was Bahasa Melayu, with the new set of 'previous' Ministers, it was changed to Bahasa Melayu, but now, it has been changed back to Bahasa Malaysia like it was before. If we want to diacuss more the origin of Bahasa Malaysia, mmmm leave it to historians to do their research. Additional infor, even the Philippines language do have its similiarity with other

[@Maniac-007]

Native Malay here. 10:21 'Sepatu' is uncommon or barely used in Malay (Never heard someone using the word my entire life). Might have been the term used back in the early days (unsure of this though, correct me if I'm wrong). Rather, we use the term 'selipar' for slippers/flip-flops and 'kasut' for shoes instead. However 'sepatu' is a term used in Bahasa Indonesia for shoes. 11:42 Pita can also mean 'tape', like measuring tape = pita ukur, pita video = video tape, pita rakaman = recording tape

[@zakariaabdullah4158]

eik..kumpulan maharaja lawak sepahtu tu mende..asal muasal sepah ke sepahtu/2 sengaja di double meaning kan. rasanya majoriti Melayu pasti paham. negeri2 belah timur rasanya masih guna. kasut/terompah/sepatu/capal/selipar jepun/sandal.
