How do you remember Malay and Indonesian words?
Answer
Read my previous posts.
I covered words which were almost identical in my previous post. Here are words at the next level, words you will see or use or want to use a lot, which are reasonably easy to remember.
Tips
Easy to remember words:
English - Malay
alley - l o r o n g
banana - pisang
chicken - a y a m
food - m a k a n
fish - i k a n
fried - g o r e n g
street / walk - jalan
Malay - English
My computer is set to English and the Malay words keep being changed by the spell checker.I can toggle between two languages, which is a great time waster if you are doing a lot of typing of cautionary type word lists. I don't yet know how to have two languages being accepted.
a y a m - chicken
g o r e n g - fried
i k a n - fish
i k a n g o r e n g - fried fish
j a l a n - main road
j a l a n - j a l a n (no spaces, hyphenated) - walk-walk meaning let's go for a walk.
l o r o n g - lane, alley or narrow road, side street
m a k a n - meal / food
m i n u m a n - drink (memory aid - a minute for you for a drink, man?)
pisang - banana
pisang goreng - fried banana - absolutely delicious freshly fried in fresh batter - but very fattening and unhealthy, if bothered you can strip off the batter, the way you might do with friend fish or chicken
