Malay Easy Words Of The Day

I picked up a multi-lingual leaflet about Alexandra hospital which is part of national University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore. Reading the English alongside the Malay translations reminded me that in Malay the adjectives come after the nouns. The words Alexandra Hospital in the Malay translation are Hospital Alexandra. The phrase chronic care translated into Malay has the word kronik at the end.

Malay - English
kronik - chronic
paliatif - palliative

English - Malay
chronic - kronik
