Expressing Opinion in Malay (individual language)[edit | edit source]
When you want to express your opinion or disagree with someone, it's important to use the right words and grammar. In Malay (individual language), to express your opinion, you can use the following phrases:
- Menurut saya... (In my opinion...)
- Saya rasa... (I feel...)
- Bagi saya... (For me...)
- Saya berpendapat... (I am of the opinion...)
For instance:
- Person 1: Apa pendapat kamu tentang film ini? (What's your opinion on this movie?)
- Person 2: Menurut saya, film ini sangat bagus. (In my opinion, this movie is very good.)
In Malay (individual language), when you disagree with someone's opinion, you can use the following phrases:
- Saya tidak rasa begitu. (I don't feel that way.)
- Saya tidak setuju dengan kamu. (I don't agree with you.)
- Saya punya pandangan yang berbeda. (I have a different point of view.)
For example:
- Person 1: Saya suka nasi goreng. (I like fried rice.)
- Person 2: Saya tidak rasa begitu. (I don't feel that way.)
In Malay (individual language), we can also use adjectives to express our opinion. Some examples of adjectives for expressing opinion are:
- Bagus (Good)
- Buruk (Bad)
- Menarik (Interesting)
- Membosankan (Boring)
- Menyeronokkan (Enjoyable)
For instance:
- Person 1: Bagaimana kamu menilai film itu? (What's your evaluation of that movie?)
- Person 2: Menurut saya, film itu sangat membosankan. (In my opinion, that movie is very boring.)
Remember that opinions are subjective, so it's important to use the right words and tone when expressing them. Let's look at some examples:
- Saya rasa ini adalah buku yang bagus. (I feel this is a good book.)
- Saya punya pandangan yang berbeda tentang hal ini. (I have a different point of view on this matter.)
- Saya tidak setuju dengan pendapat kamu. (I don't agree with your opinion.)
Now, let's practice! 👨🏫

1. Film terbaik yang pernah kamu tonton (The best movie you've ever watched) 2. Restoran favoritmu di kota ini (Your favorite restaurant in this city) 3. Olahraga yang kamu sukai (Your favorite sport)
Malay (individual language) Language Fun Facts[edit | edit source]
Did you know that Malay (individual language) is the national language of Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia? It is also spoken in Singapore, southern Thailand, and southern Philippines.
Malay (individual language) is a very interesting language because it has borrowed many words from other languages such as Arabic, Sanskrit, Dutch, and Portuguese. For instance, the Malay (individual language) word for apple is "epal", which is derived from the Portuguese word "maçã". The word for book, "buku", is derived from the Sanskrit word "pustaka".
Malay (individual language) grammar is also unique in that it doesn't have verb conjugation or noun gender. This means that Malay (individual language) verbs don't change according to the tense or subject, and nouns don't have masculine, feminine, or neutral forms.
