hi guys hi
how many conversations do you have in a
day conversations conversations like
whatsapp telegram in general in general
in general maybe like 24
why one per hour
what languages can you speak ah
english
i think even though we like know a
little bit of other languages
our mother tongue is like
katakana
like malay got two types one is like
bahasa baku which is like creative
textbook one is like the kanye you have
a conversation like saya versus sayo how
good are you in your mother
[Applause]
one of the key things about the culture
is the language it's not obsolete and
that is to communicate with people who
may not necessarily be able to speak
english and then i think sometimes when
you see the pachipachi or like you see
them then you say or you speak in malay
there is this like this connection i
understand the melee songs the emoji
ones the g1 ones he's different
he's different bro well i can't relate
man
i cannot tell you what was it
i can only tell you one piece come
on for
[Music]
speaking comics also so i don't know how
i'm gonna communicate with everyone yeah
i think that would be the biggest
challenge
[Music]
so i'm going to try like to describe the
food or rather the drink in book style
it's important
[Music]
yes
[Music]
um
[Music]
um
[Music]
i am on the way for lunch it is raining
today
and i have my friend who will pick me up
right here
um
[Music]
right now
i'm here
with mr robin i want to say that just
now during lunch right i saw you
ordering from the market and you were a
bit fluent i'm going to test your basic
male skills you think you're out for it
already you see it
is something we use in army is it the
stock market oh yes
okay now
you need to know the basics okay okay
[Music]
yeah correct it's part of the culture
would you say that malay is hard
actually no way because at least the
fundamentals are all in english right
okay so pronunciation is already like
easier for us
it's just learning the vocab okay i
think you got it down
[Music]
okay even though summer summer means
same same right but then
it's just a greeting okay not like
winter winter
[Music]
tick trend
lyrics
let's see how it goes
[Music]
it's very familiar it's very familiar
let me guess a song it's super familiar
let it go
can't hold it back anymore is it correct
let me pretend to
sing the song in bassam like you a
songwoman
hey
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
why are you laughing
[Music]
i did an interview with syria the other
day so i'm going to be watching my
interview which is in bahasa malayu i
thought that my thoughts articulated
really properly and the words that i
used were appropriate and i feel like
the interview went very smoothly and i'm
gonna watch it and react to it
right now
[Applause]
[Music]
yeah this was
definitely something that i am very
proud of if you were to look at my very
first manja interview it wasn't very
good because i actually used some
english words in between but i think for
this one i really used proper words that
really articulated what i thought so
yeah i'm pretty proud of myself to be
honest
[Music]
you need to have the perfect
team model how am i going to give
arahant
accurate 12 seconds later
[Laughter]
[Music]
is
[Music]
quite was quieter
[Music]
um
[Music]
actually when i spoke to like my team in
malay they were like okay what is going
on because your team is much easier yeah
exactly i think you know like a full
sentence drop a little but if like you
break it down a bit anymore use the most
simplified malay
my initial question was okila it is
going to be quite normal for me because
i do switch between malay and english
even cut also is english but they use
card also
when it comes to speaking it a bit
difficult when we talk about evolution
of language i think one of the things is
that again like it's so fluid even in
even in the malay language there are
words that have been borrowed from
english it helps like other people like
chinese you know whatever you understand
yeah to like take up malay yeah be a lot
easier so thank you lee kuan yew fun for
bilingualism for making this video
possible we may not always speak in our
marathons but speaking in conversational
malay will help to hone your malay
speaking skills and anyone can pick up
conversational malay because it's pretty
easy so don't be afraid to try a few
phrases when speaking to others
[Music]
bye
