Greetings in Malay

Here, we start with basic greetings we used every day. And Hi would sounds the same in Malay.

For introducing, I'd like to inform that Malay pronounciation totally like Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti sound. There is no such thing like how a mad sound, the a will sound how a in mart was pronounced.

For e, we have two ways to pronounce it. E how e in erhu was pronounced and e in enamel was pronounce. For examples, six in malay is enam (e in erhu) and tail in malay is ekor (e in exotic)

The way I is pronounce in malay is like how e is pronounce in english. Example, if the malay word spelled Li, it's like Lee in english. And it won't sound like lie, line or else... It just stick to one pronounciation.

U, it's sound like u. It different from english, because u in english can be pronounce like a was pronounced sometimes. But not in malay. Think how 'flu' is pronounce, that totally how u in malay words are pronounced.

Will start our lesson here.

Good morning - Selamat pagi (Sir-lump-mart  pa-gi) *after mid night till before noon

Good afternoon - Selamat tengahari (te *e in erhu -ngah  ha-ri)

Good evening - Selamat petang (pe *e in erhu - tang *sounds like tongue) *1p.m. - 6p.m.

Good night - Selamat malam (ma-lump) *7p.m. - before mid night

We use greetings based on the clock just like the Japanese but majority of us don't use the time like them. Shame on us. #janjimelayu

🗣 Malay tips : 

- If you don't want to sound like foreigners during calling food delivery, pronounce words that ends with -a  sound like how you pronounce u in fur or e in mere 

Example : How much - Berapa → Berape

- Don't use Lah, Lorh, Meh accent if you really don't know how to use it. Because it will sounds fool if you use the wrong term in certain situations.

For next time, I'll share about Family and Relatives were called in Malays. Stay tuned~
