setiap hari saya bercakap bahasa Portugis rupanya...😅

[@SangAyie]

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

[@chaw294]

Waw, you both "pandai bercakap bahasa Melayu" 😀😀😀 it's already over a year and you guys can still remember so many Malay words 👍👍👍 Happy blessed 2022. Stay safe and take care.

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...🇲🇾✍️

[@absolute_abundance]

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

[@danialm8122]

[@zainizaudi3678]

5 empire pon tetap gagal kuasai tanah Melayu

[@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

[@oshkoshbgood]

Soldadu no longer used in Malaysia but still being used in Indonesia

[@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.

[@DarkwarriorGamingandVideos]

Modern malay is an adoption of original kedah tua malay + arabic + Sanskrit + Portuguese + British + dutch

[@sakovichdaeng8937]

Oh.My.Gosh......🖐️

[@frontier7320]

Indeed. It's basically new language in my opinion

[@khodirkhodir4528]

Bahasa cina pon ada=cawan, tanglung, kuih, cincai, ngam ngam, tokey dll

[@vanderlooloo]

@@frontier7320 and spellings can be change from time to time..

[@geekoacolyte]

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

[@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.

[@audreyDsouza]

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?

@@audreyDsouza bestnya banyak tahu bahasa. Untung awak. Saya nak belajar mandarin rasa susahnya...

[@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

[@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 😄😄.

[@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.

Didn't know so many words similar in Malay n Portuguese. Hi from Malaysia

[@hbs4658]

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

[@mychms]

wow...i'm shocked at the 1st place...as a Malaysian i've no ideas that our language is pretty similar....but when i think of the history in the past it seems related to this kind of similarities....fair play...tq for the info #kayukamat

[@absolute_abundance]

Simply copy others and make it bahasa .

[@tomiemyspace5054]

@@absolute_abundance Same with Spanish, lots taken from Arabic. Eg camisa/khamis; sabo/sabun; cama/qamar. They are not having the things but Arab people brought it to them. Nothing to be ashamed of that. In fact, English are made up of so many "borrowed" languages eg German, French and Spanish.

[@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

[@saidali8418]

I'm a Malay Malaccan , went to an English primary school located in Trenquerah @TES , We mingled with a lot of Portuguese descendant called Grago and still best of friends up till now .

[@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.

We understand both soldadu and askar. Askar is used but we used soldadu if we want more fancy, like in writing. Askar is from arabic word.

Sebab melayu tak ada banyak ayat , kita pinjam kebanyakannya

[@zahemi914]

@@absolute_abundance Ya, mungkin dahulunya memang benar, tetapi tidak dinafikan dalam tempoh beratus tahun evolusi, bahasa Melayu/Indonesia berkembang menjadi bahasa yg indah dan pelbagai. Cuma kesamaan bahasa antara benua itu juga tidak dapat dielakkan. Malah Bahasa Inggeris juga banyak meminjam bahasa dari Perancis (French) dan Jerman (Deutch) dan berevolusi sebagai bahasa mereka (English) itu sendiri. Ya.. kita hanya perlu bangga dengan keindahan bahasa ibunda kita dan mempertuturkannya seindah mungkin

Dulu bahasa melayu kuno Kebanyakan dari bahasa sanskrit

[@zahemi914]

@@Miqael_Ozairy I got what you mean, when Tanah Melayu spoke 'Bahasa Melayu'. But it has always been Bahasa Malaysia, after Tanah Melayu was changed to Malaysia. 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

[@aquielos]

There are many other words: - Sepato (Shoes) - Shaboon (Soap) - Igreja (Church) - Domingo (Sunday) - Arabic: "Ahad" (1st day)
