Why all the words in BM words is copied from english 1? BM run out of idea to make their language unique ?

almost all the words are like direct translation, just change the C in front to K =_=

where got? I Still spell Cina as Cina.. not Kina..

yea, cause English got longer history then BM... and it is more well known..

i memang suka bm. inggeris susah nak faham. translasi pun senang je. apple=epal, bus=bas , carbon = karbon , y x baik?

so do i, i spell China as china, chinese as chinese

Well, English words are not all completely origin from English as well .. it does copy some from other languages.

So is BM copying english or something else?

Why English copy German language so much?

ntahnye. TS is delusional

>implying you don't have knowledge how languages evolve and came to be.
>implying you're stupid.

lets have a dupe party

does the word Kopitiam comes frm Copytiam?
TS, you must be so delusional..what did u have breakfast?

coffeetiam~

kopitiam from chinese language la dum dum

Globalization........more words are being fusionize nowadays.

i thought kopi is malai.

thank you

Ko pi is korean as well.

welkam. ryoko had breakfast?

Kopi, came from the english word Coffee, which came from the Italian word Caffe, which came from the Turkish word Kahveh, Which came from the Arabic word Qahwah.

make your own unique language then....

if it could it would, but it can't so it didn't then it copied.

kaw-tim oredi

wiki... the answer to everything...

TB = Tubercolosis = TiBi in malay. lol..
make a word out of an aconym... lol

This is what i usually call a pot calling a kettle black.

German is mostly from Sanskrit language...
i guess it goes this way, the newer languages are inspired by older language

hello sephiroth

im zack,1st class SOLDIER

bcoz ur 2" n u should study more

if not copy... how to say terms like COMPUTER, ELECTRONIC in BM?

Microsoft, sugguh-kecil-lembut???

microsoft is a brand name mah, takkan la u want to translate the name oso?

some older languages actually do have their own word for things like telephone, computer, etc...

I do speak Germany (Deutschland).. Actually the pronouncement and spelling for Deutschland and BM quite similar...
For instances :

Michael : in germany they pronounce same as Mikail in BM
Kite : Pronounce same as "Kite" in BM...
so if you want to learn Germany not that hard, within a year u can speak and pronounce very well...

English also took melei work, like Amok and Orang utan.

well, in chinese usually (even brand name) they will maximized the used of the meaning of the word instead of direct translate it's pronounciations

in chinese, Microsoft is 微软 (wei ruan), 微= Micro 软=Soft

Television =电视机; 电=electric 视=vision 机=machine
Telephone = 电话; 电=electric 话= conversation
Computer = 电脑; 电=electric 脑=brain

etc etc....

i tot malay copy most of its words from sanskrit and arab words?

where TS got the idea of bm copy most of its words from English?

i do think the percentage of Sanskrit and arabs words are much2 more than english words

why english copy the word orang utan? najib need to demand for royalty

japs also loan some words from the mainland china and english, also some words from germans as well.

some that i know,

Television = ﾃﾚﾋﾞ (terebi)
7-E style stores (not limiting to 7-E) = ｺﾝﾋﾞﾆ (konbini)
Part-time work = ｱﾙﾊﾞｲﾄ (arubaito)
PC = ﾊﾟｿｺﾝ (pasokom)

i think becos orang utan only found in borneo?

malay lang oso taken from portugese & indonesian language

its orangutan

Japanese they have 26 characters of Kanji that's borrow from Chinese languages

those you stated are Katagana, Television (become Te re bi), & 7-11 etc... are direct translate from the pronouciation, which doesnt reflect the meaning in Japanese. those that reflect meanings in the language will be written in Hiragana.

but what i;ve shown you is, instead of using chinese character to spell Te-Le-Vi-Si-En in chinese, they used chinese words to make up Electrical-Vision-Machine.

malay used in malaysia is still a relatively young language
heck almost all language out there copy each other anyway

and malay language is deemed more of a malaysian language in my opinion where chinese and indian not only english is throwned into the mix

"ane roti kosong 2 kasi banjir, kasi milo ice kau punya ok"

itu bahasa pasar, not bahasa melayu

haha, they are still loan words. thanks for highlighting me that.

joystick = batang keseronokan?

web server = pelayan sesarang?

input = masuk letak?

yes its bahasa pasar. Refer here

you want to call it bahasa pasar ke, bahasa malaysia ke, bahasa ape ape pun boleh
tapi saya panggil itu bahasa malaysian kerana itu satu ciri malaysia yang unik.
dimana semua bangsa bergaul dalam satu tempat dengan harmoni dan aman

bodoh ts is bodoh

we call durian english also call durian they maling us

i copy japanese porn = yamate

am i wrong to do that?

sob sob so touchy... true oso la, but this is just a spoken language, u cannot argue in the main language context rite

parjo, mereka ngertawa kan gue!

ayuh! kita ganyang sama mereka!

today is budget day. last time they use belanjawan but why sudden change to bajet? belanjawan word not nice?

emangnya thread bisa jadi thread indo?
kalian mahu ganyang sama shiapa?
gue mahu ganyang jugain dong...

you also should ask why Deutch language is like English.

and why Dutch language also liike the Deutch.

English terms are easier to understand than Malay's.

It can be called as King of Fruits.

hi pamela !

oh wai-

".. hye can i buy King of Fruits ? .. "

LULS

Now who on earth is pamela

Belanja sounded as thou as "treating" in a sense.

Bajet sounded as thou as "allocation" in a sense.

Just a thought thou...Personally, I prefer the word belanjawan.

where ur regards la dei ?

not relevant whatsoever.

Belanjawan: 1. perhitungan banyaknya wang yg akan diterima (sbg pendapatan) dan dibelanjakan, butiran ringkas anggaran pendapatan, dan perbelanjaan: menteri kewangan bertanggungjawab menyediakan ~ negara setiap tahun; 2. peruntukan wang utk sesuatu keperluan atau utk sesuatu jangka waktu: perdebatan mengenai perincian ~ kementerian pendidikan diteruskan hari ini.

Kamus Dewan Edisi Keempat

where are those bahasa warriors gone to? BM now is so polluted with english terms and DBP is just silent on this.

Ya Allah...sampai terkeluar Kamus Dewan. Amboi, amboi...

Pusat Rujukan Persuratan Melayu

TS got no better issue.

the reason is..at that time, mahathir called it bajet instead of belanjawan.. so to avoid mahathir being criticized, DBP approved it..

Copying is kinda normal in language

English took some french words and now BM took english words

Simply because one have a longer history, just like how japanese adopted chinese words

I love english
