Re: Malay (MS) Room
Baik, terima kasih! Kalau kamu?
Aku belajar Bahasa Indonesia dengan Duolingo dan Pimsleur. Saya belum bicara Bahasa Melayu dengan baik.
Aku pesan Indomie dari Amazon malam ini. Apakah banyak orang Malaysia suka Indomie?

Saya pun baru tahu Amazon ada menjual Indomie. Wow!
Di Malaysia, kami ada syarikat mi segera lokal, "Maggi". Ianya lebih popular di sini. Perasa yang paling popular ialah perasa Kari.

Hi!
I'm heard that Malay and Indonesian are different dialects of the same language. Is that true? How similar or different are they?
Do you know any resources that teach Malay as spoken in Malaysia?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Malay (MS) Room
We could understand each other on a functional level. But, since we're different countries and cultures, the cadence and flow of our languages are different.
Vocabulary there are differences. The word "gampang" and "butuh" in Indonesian is actually swear words in Malay.
Malay have a lot more English cognates, while Indonesian have Dutch cognates. Different colonizers.
In modern Malay, we adopt few Tamil and Mandarin words, as these are the recognised minority languages.

Re: Malay (MS) Room
I've gone through TY, and Colloquial, and I found Colloquial is less rigid in speech.
I've created this basic list of phrases. Based on the "What do you need to know to learn language" book.

Re: Malay (MS) Room
Hi Samothin,
I used "aku" and "kamu" because I'm used to French and German where you usually use informal pronouns on the internet, but I noticed that you used "saya". In Malay do you usually stick to formal pronouns until you know someone well, even online?

Re: Malay (MS) Room
How I normally use pronoun
I - you - he/she
With friends, or anyone I regard as my equal (siblings)
Aku - Kau - Dia
With someone I just met, or anyone I regard as my superior (parents, boss)
Saya - Kamu - Dia
If the 2nd person is few degrees superior than me I might replace "kamu" with a term of respect e.g.
Dad - bapa, mom - ibu, Boss - encik/puan. Or others such as kakak, abang.
E.g sentence
Ibu, nanti saya hantar ibu ke lapangan terbang.
Mom, later I will send you to the airport.
I - you - he/she

Aku - Kau - Dia
