Bintang bucu-6 itu semesta (universal) dan banyak budaya kuno dahpun guna, seperti juga simbol 'swastika' asalnya bukan Nazi punya. Tapi Yahudi/Zionis suka² ambil dan ngaku bintang bucu-6 ini dia punya aja. Orang kita kini pula suka melulu dan nampak apa² bucu-6 aja fikir Yahudi!

"A computerised joint study by Oxford-UM linguistics faculty/students found that the practical #Malay language lexicon used in #Malaysia reached 194,470 words, including 'kata² serapan' and many others that are not included in latest dictionaries but used in recorded literature."

In British English, 'accommodation' is already sufficient to cover both singular and plural, especially when used as a concept or topic, while 'accommodations' is only used in specific contexts for plural emphasis, and is used more in American English.

#ShadowPuppetry is a shared regional heritage that predates the existence of Malaysia and Indonesia. The traditional Malaysian version, also called #WayangKulit is different than the Indonesian type. Many people don't know that. @adidasoriginals

Jangan gunakan 'introvert' sebagai batu penghalang untuk kita buat apa yang kita nak buat.

Boleh gi baca buku Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain kalau rasa stuck dengan 'Aku introvert. Macam mana aku nak buat ni'

Perkataan #boroi tu lebih-kurang seerti dengan (perut) #buncit atau #gendut tapi lebih ke bahasa pasar/tak rasmi.

@AbirAbdulRahim Some other cultures have never differentiated and thus never discriminated between sons and daughters, so they don't need this kind of ad or media.

(Cont.) 'Pak Abu #meranduk ke tengah bendang yang dah sarat dengan ikan haruan', or 'Orang Asli pandai meranduk di tepi sungai yang boleh dijumpai siput dan tumbuhan yang boleh dimakan'. It's one of the closest Malay words to actually 'foraging'. #forage #randuk

[Guru Bahasa @Bahasawan]

The verb 'meranduk' means wading through shallow waters or tall grasses and paddy fields not only to go to a place beyond but also to search and thus #forage for food or other things. #randuk #meranduk #wading #foraging (cont.)

"Sudah merasa amankah kamu, bahawa Dia yang berada di langit itu tidak akan membuat kamu ditelan bumi ketika dengan tiba² ia bergoncang?" Al-Mulk 67:16, ayat 17 juga sebut "..Dia yang di langit.." - harap terjemahannya tepat.

On the other hand, Nik, the word 'tekad' (determined) is according to #DBP officially "tékad" but many people grew up saying "təkad" which happens to be the word for the art of (Perak) Malay embroidery, but that is alternatively spelt 'tekat' = "təkat", hence the noun 'tekatan'.

[Guru Bahasa @Bahasawan]

Bunyi ə dan é memang tidak lagi dibezakan, bro Nik. Sama juga:
perang (pərang) = war/battle
perang (pérang) = brown

'Pesantren' is an Indonesian word of Javanised Malay ie. it is a variation of the proper Melayu word 'pesanterian' or 'pesantrian', extended from 'santeri/santri' or religious person. So pesanterian is a place or school where one learns about religion esp. Islam.

[1jati Media @1jati]

What's the origin of the word 'pesantren' @Bahasawan?

[1jati Media @1jati]

"Indeed the native Malay words exist, it's just the will to use them. Some do, others don't. But then our language does get richer. After all, about 60% of English words come from non-Anglic origins especially after the 1066 conquest of Britain by Guillaume le Conquerant."(Cont.)

Sebutan 'Celtic' dalam bhs. Inggeris ialah "kel-tik", majmuknya 'Celtics' = "kel-tiks", katanama asalnya 'the Celts' = "kelts"; berasal dari panggilan dlm bhs Yunani/Greek lama = "Keltoi" bermaksud 'orang ganas'.

[Hazrein Yong A. @HazreinYA]

Macamana sebut #Celtic ya @Bahasawan? Yakni nama Inggeris bagi sebuah kumpulan bangsa kuno di Eropah.
