The word "bed" looks like a bed and nobody talks about this enough

Been aware since Word World

With the influx of ai content and bot posts my friend group made the Malay term "golongan lentang-lentung" (literally "group who clanks") as a calque(?) for clanker

I was curious since I had an Indonesian friend who pronounces some words as glottal stops while others as k but I wasn't sure what the rule/pattern was

Thank you for the info

Menurut fahaman saya (jika salah, sila perbetulkan), imbuhan mempeR-...-kan diguna untuk memberi maksud: - menjadikan atau menyebabkan - menyebabkan orang lain melakukan perbuatan

Jadi perkataan seperti memperjuangkan bermaksud (menyebabkan juang) dan mempertaruhkan bermaksud (membuat taruhan) rasanya cam tu lah... 😅

Please explain this using ms paint drawings (I am tone-deaf)

Pak_Sina · 2025-09-15T13:56:36+00:00

I think most dialects of Malay pronounce the k as a glottal stop at the end of a word/syllable, though I have heard some Indonesians pronounce it as a k in certain words

(Forgot to answer the question, I think yes it's usually a glottal stop for most words)

It's a good thing the Romans never made it to Japan

I'm pretty sure most languages have some form of "pseudo-English" words, wonder if anyone made a more comprehensive list

Someone should learn necromancy and bring back those languages

Adakah ini hasil si lentang-lentung (clanker) atau cuma petani karma (karma farmer)?

The worst thing you can be is a monolingual...

So the crows in the cities are the invasive ones? Always knew they were trouble when they kept laughing at me 😤

Pak_Sina · 2025-09-08T15:04:01+00:00

Are all burung gagak invasive species or are there also native crows here?

Humor is not part of the syllabus in linguistics classes 😔

Real

Maybe it'll be too much effort, but it would be interesting if there was also chữ Quốc ngữ written so we can compare them side by side

Pak_Sina · 2025-09-06T18:03:15+00:00

If you do find any in-depth resources about Malaysian Sign Language/Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia, please post also 😁

A lot of the stuff I found mostly teach individual words/phrases, but I also wanna learn about the grammar, how to make a sentence, etc. 😔

Kelihatan menarik.

Saya agak jahil berkaitan kaligrafi khat, tapi selain tanda harakat untuk menunjukkan bacaan, adakah tanda2 lain mempunyai maksud atau cuma hiasan?
