Learning Bahasa Malayu - Lesson 3, adjectives and opposites

Just like English, I was told by my teachers in Secondary school that it is always good to begin with adjectives when taking up a new language. Stubbornly, I hold belief that colour and number should be the priority beforehand.

Lesson 3 tours a handful of adjectives and opposites:

Big – Besar    (Recalling Jalan Besar? Now you know what it means)

Small – Kecil

Left – Kiri (few education through NS)

Right – Kannan (Kar nun)

Beautiful – Chantik 

Ugly – Hodoh

Friend – Ka3wan1 (Friends = kawan-kawan, just repeat for pural)

Fight/Compete - Lawan

Rich – Kaya

Poor – Miskin

Far – Jauh

Near – Dekat

Old – Lama

Young – Baru

Cold – Sejuk

Hot – Panas

Long – Panjang (Bukit Panjang)

Short - Pendek
