Hi... who want to learn Bahasa Malaysia (Malaysia language)?

I'm very interested. I have a Malaysian visitor here at the office today who speaks English and I'm a bit ashamed to not know any words in her language (despite having lived in Malaysia ).

2 CdK[/u]: You need not be ashamed. English is a global language of international communication, and many people that live in different countries know it. Malaysian is used only in a single country in Asia.
There are several thousand languages that you do not know, and if you feel ashamed for each instance of linguistic ignorance you can develop severe depression...

I knew someone would say that.

ITIK, thanks for the words and phrases! How does one say thank you in Malaysian>

Continue:-

Thank you = Terima Kasih

Oh, I'm so happy you guys have interest to learn my national language.

Craven de Kere is your visitor a chinese lady or a Malay lady if I may ask

Note:- If you can speak Bahasa Malaysia you can survive in Indonesia too because we have very similar words.

ok bye

She might be Chinese, I am not sure.

this is great!

Tell us more please

I'd like to know how to count, and how to say "how much does that cost" and "what time is it".

So would I! Learning Malaysian and other South-East Asian languages has courted my interest for some time.

Out of interest, how long did you stay in Malaysia, Craven? Was this woman coming into the A2K office- if there is one- or something else?

I'm with you on languages, Craven; languages are what I spend most my time on, and I try to become conversant in the language of wherever I go, and feel quite awkward if I can't. I don't like relying on English; to me, that seems like the easy way out.
