Beginner || Learn Malay Through English ||




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently I watched the movie "Trolls". It was released in November last year but I'm usually late when it comes to catching up with the latest movie.

Anyway, the movie was good and I absolutely love the song "True Colours" sang by Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick.
Well as you must know, I usually start my lessons with a story or an introduction that usually connects with the lesson that I'm about to teach.

Today, I will be delving into "Colours" in the Malay language, otherwise known as "Warna". 


1. Red - Merah
    - I don't like this red bag, I prefer hers. - Saya tak suka beg yang berwarna merah ini, saya lebih suka dia punya.

2. Pink - Merah jambu
    - I like this pink shoes. - Saya suka kasut yang berwarna merah jambu ini.

   - I need a white A4 paper. - Saya memerlukan satu kertas A4 yang berwarna putih. 

6. Black - Hitam
    - These black glasses are beautiful. - Cermin mata yang berwarna hitam ini adalah cantik.


Note: "Yang berwarna" means coloured. 
          Usually when we speak, we do not say "Cermin mata yang berwarna hitam ini". Instead we say "Cermin mata hitam ini".
           We usually opt out the "yang berwarna".


7. Brown - Coklat
  - Is this brown wallet yours? - Adakah dompet yang berwarna coklat ini awak punya?

8. Green - Hijau
    - I want that green lighter. - Saya nak pemetik api yang berwarna hijau itu.

9. Grey - Kelabu
   - My grandmother has grey hair. - Nenek saya mempunyai rambut yang berwarna kelabu.

10. Yellow - Kuning
      - This yellow purse is very unusual. - Dompet yang berwarna kuning ini sangat pelik.
