Nice job, Blue! I'm impressed... :-p
A few notes from me:
In 'Let's EAT' (Mari kita makan):
- makan siang is lunch; so I think the right expressioin in English would
be Let's have lunch.
Can you eat lunch? :-p
- 'Saya mau makan' literally means 'I wan to eat'.
I'm gonna eat now is better translated to 'Saya mau makan sekarang'.
(sekarang = now)
In 'Let's talk about love':
-'Mahal' in BI only means 1 thing i.e. expensive.
- Saya cinta kamu = I love you
cinta can sometimes be replaced with sayang, especially true in young
people's lingo... however, sayang is less intensified than cinta actually,
but it's just a matter of taste these days. So, it's all up to you which
word to use, cinta or sayang. Perhaps sayang can best be described as 'I
have a feeling'.... 'Sayang' could also means 'a pity' in BI.
Others:
- Gula = sugar
- Gula-gula (obsolete) = candy = permen (more in use nowadays)
- sendiri = alone
- sedih = sad
- pukul = hit or punch
In 'BM':
- all words in BM are also use in BI, except 'ngumpat'. In BI 'mengumpat'
means 'to swear'. Perhaps BM also means the same, please check w/M'sian
girls.
- cakap (BM) = talk
- cakap (BI) as in bercakap (obsolete) = talk = (ber)bicara is more common
- cakap (BI) also means skillful
woowww...!!! hebaaaatttt...!!!
blue, you doing well
good progress in BI & BM.
