Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does the Malay word "Cinta" mean in English?

Answer: Love

Another word for "Cinta" is "Sayang" which also means affection. Funnily enough, in some sentences, it means pity!
2. What is the English translation of "Apa khabar?"

Answer: How are you?

Sometimes people just ask "Sihat?" which means "Are you well?".
3. When someone says "Saya tidak faham Bahasa Inggeris", what is he or she trying to say?

Answer: I do not understand English

Bahasa means language. This sentence would still make sense without that word.
4. "Selamat datang!" is heard commonly in Malaysia. Do you know what it means?

Answer: Welcome!

If you visit Malaysia or even Indonesia, (the two countries are NOT to be confused!) you will see this sign everywhere in airports, hotel lobbies and also restaurants.
5. Malaysian love food! When someone says "Saya belum makan lagi", what does it mean?

Answer: I have not eaten yet

A phrase you do not hear many Malaysians say!
6. Describing a certain time of day, "Pada waktu senja" refers to what part of it?

Answer: At sunset

This is a more classic way of saying late evening.
7. What does "Saya tahu" translate to?

Answer: I know

Interestingly enough, "tahu" is indeed the way tofu is said in Malay!
8. "Kami sakit" is not something you hear a lot of. But when you do, what does it mean?

Answer: We are unwell

"Sakit" is also another word for pain.
9. What is the correct translation of "Semalam saya pergi ke masjid"?

Answer: Yesterday I was at the Mosque

"Semalam" also means "A single night".
10. What does "Janganlah begitu!" translate to?

Answer: All of the these

You will hear "Lah" a lot when Malaysians speak whether they are speaking Malay or English. It is simply an affirmation of what they are saying.
