"Easy Malay" should be changed: " Rocket Malay". Speed was too fast. I can not realize this is Malaysia language that I studied via the book.

Ramai yg tak faham konsep easy language ni . Page ni memang tunjuk the reality of the language being spoken terumanya dekat golongan belia n penduduk kl . Easy german easy french sume tunjuk cara bahasa tu digunakan . Nk tengok pure melayu, debat ade kan

This is a great video, thanks! I'm learning Malay and I actually appreciate being able to listen to how Malaysians actually speak. If that's rojak, then I need to be able to understand rojak as well. I will always be able to learn 'proper' Malay from textbooks and other sources, but the purpose of these videos is to show the Malay as it's used in a real environment.

It might not be a good platform for those who are learning Malay but the reality is that is the way how Malaysian speak especially in urban areas. I think some of the comments from past episodes are a little bit too harsh and unnecessary.

On a cultural note it's interesting how many people said helping out their parents or spending quality time with their family, spouse and friends made them happy. If I remember correctly, most people in the French version were more often prone to cite hobbies, their surounding environment and such.

I'm Indonesian, and I'm teaching Indonesian as well. I thought I understood Malay until now. I watched the video without reading the subtitles and I found that I only understand probably 40% .... 😁 I have listened to and read in standard Malay. I can mostly understand it but when it comes to colloquial Malay, it's in another level. It's pretty much the same as colloquial Indonesian too which is like a totally different language.

[fatennaseha]

This is exactly how Malaysian teens would speak to each other. Exactly the same. And I would recommend you to go to the other Malaysian states as well like Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang, Terengganu, Sabah, Sarawak to show some different dialects that people use here. I really enjoy the video, though. :)

di malaysia, rakyatnya ada keunikan nya yg tersendiri seperti yg kita tahu makanannya, pakaiannya, budayanya, termasuk bahasa dan percakapannya. cara orang malaysia bercakap (fonologi) juga ada uniknya seperti kebanyakkan akhiran /-a/ disebut /-ə/ (matə), juga /-i-/ disebut /-e-/(puteh), dan /-u-/ disebut /-o-/ (hidop). setiap negeri juga ada fonologi yg tersendiri. termasukkan keunikkan nya yg terbaru adalah manglish, tapi saya x lihat ini adalah keunikkannya ini hanya budaya yg baru dalam anak muda sekarang, saya juga sedar dan saya juga cuba untuk berubah #dirgahayu_bahasaku

Hormati dan sayangi kami akan belajar bahasa anda❤❤

Diaorang. They. Bahagia. Happy. Gembira i already know. So 2 new words. Not bad.

[ultron]

Not bad. But it would be more understandable if you asked the people to speak in full Malay rather than rojak so learners would grasp it better. (I'm Malay btw)

Kepada orang yang buat "Easy Malay" kalau boleh buat interview kat Gombak. Sebab aku tengok ramai yang komplain yang dorang banyak mix bahasa inggeris. Kalau kat Gombak tanya Pakcik, Makcik atau budak remaja. Sebab kat gombak ni ramai jugak yang tak tahu cakap bahasa inggeris. Tapi jangan komplain jugaklah kalau Bahasa Melayu tu susahlah untuk orang yang nak belajar bahasa melayu tu. Sebab kitorang cakap laju dan suka pendekkan ayat

conclusion:learning book malay is easy, but learning malay malaysian, we need immersion.

[ogulcanozcan]

Like japanese. Very nice and cute language.

[mardalegallego]

I hope you'll upload more videos whether if you're using formal or colloquial words. It's pretty fine, because my Malay relatives speak like this and I somehow understand the words used in the video. Keep it up! ❤

[FantasticFanatique]

please make more of these! It’s really helpful and it’s nice to see how Malays speak in a colloquial setting

[anthonyschlacks]

As a Tagalog speaker, Bahasa Malay seems to be spoken with a very distinct accent. I tend to be able to understand more Bahasa Indonesia words.

[treya]

I think the speed is totally fine, this is really just how people speak Malay in this country

[shatoh]

That's the way we speak in Malaysia. It is like rojak. I think instead of criticizing we should embrace it.

[aqimjulayhi]

Before interviewing them you should put a serious emphasis on speaking only Malay without 'rojaking' them with English. Bahasa Melayu semakin hari semakin hilang ditelan urbanisasi bahasa penjajah.
