Malayu(r) is an official language spoken in Malaysia; does it sound familiar to you? If no, pronounce it again as a Tamil word slowly. Did you get it now? If yes, then next set of words should be a cakewalk for you. Malayu(r) is the combination of two Tamil words, hill and town. Malay should be an abbreviated form of it and uses English for the representation. So it could be summarized that Malay’s origination was strongly influenced from Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi and English. Suppose, you have a letter to save it for future reference, you can keep it inside peti. You need a mix for your rice, you can ask for curry along with putu in a food kedai and recommend it for your taulan also. You can even add roti to it to make it a north Indian meal. As reminded by your Wife, Kindly don’t forget to trim your Misai, which has grown dense. If you feel, your room is gloomy; you can always remove the tirai and let some sunshine fall upon or you can request a person sitting in front of you to lower his head so that watch the movie tirai distinctly. Teacher is Guru, Father is Ayah, and GOD is dewa. And there are plenty more similar words that can be used directly without even changing the original phonetic perse. For example, Raja, Ganja, Kolam, Derma, Desa and Singa are to name a few. Here is a simple question for you. When you ask Air, what do you expect the waiter to do for you? Any guesses. He would ask you back you want it cool or hot? That gives you some strong clue. Yes, you should decide on whether you want the Water to be supplied cool or hot? Zero is Sifar, Empty is Kosong, Complex is Komplex. Counter is Kaunter, tea is teh and robber is perombak. Bus is Bas, Mosque is Masjid, lorry is lori, Passport is pasport, doctor is doktor and clinic is klinik. Cinema is bioskop. With this signing off, Terima Kasih!
