As a Malay language teacher of 20 years, I am excited to discuss an essential part of Malay grammar: conditional sentences. This lesson will cover different types, formation, and usage of Malay conditional sentences to help students reach an intermediate level of proficiency.  
=== What are Conditional Sentences? ===
 
Conditional sentences express a condition and its result. In Malay, these sentences often follow a structure similar to English, and they can be used in various contexts.

1. '''Real Conditionals''': These express real possibilities.
== Types of Conditional Sentences ==
Malay conditional sentences come in three types: possible, impossible, and hypothetical. Possible conditional sentences describe an event that may happen in the present or future if a condition is fulfilled. For example: "Jika saya membeli buku itu, saya akan belajar bahasa Melayu" (If I buy that book, I will learn Malay). Impossible conditional sentences describe an event that cannot happen due to certain circumstances. For example: "Kalau awak tak datang awal, awak akan ketinggalan kapal terbang" (If you do not come early, you will miss the flight). Hypothetical conditional sentences describe an imagined situation that is not real or not proven. For example: "Kalau awak mampu beli kereta itu, awak boleh pergi melancong ke seluruh negara" (If you can afford to buy that car, you can travel throughout the country).  


== Formation of Conditional Sentences ==
2. '''Unreal Conditionals''': These refer to hypothetical situations that are not true.
In Malay, conditional sentences have two clauses: the condition clause and the main clause. The condition clause starts with "kalau" (if) or "jika" (if) and the main clause is introduced with "akan" (will) or "boleh" (can).  


Possible: If [condition], [result]
3. '''Mixed Conditionals''': These combine elements of both real and unreal conditionals.
Impossible: If [condition], [result] (but it is impossible)
 
Hypothetical: If [condition], [result] (but it may not be true)
=== Real Conditionals ===
 
Real conditionals are used when the condition is possible and likely to occur. The structure typically follows:
 
''If + condition + result''.
 
In Malay, this can be expressed as:
 
''Jika + condition + result''.
 
Here are some examples:


Example 1 - Possible:
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English
! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Kalau saya belajar dengan tekun || kah-lau sa-ya bel-a-jar de-ngan te-kun || If I study diligently
 
| Saya akan lulus ujian || sa-ya a-kan lu-lus u-jian || I will pass the exam
| Jika hujan, saya akan tinggal di rumah. || /ˈdʒikə huˈdʒan, ˈsaja ˈakan ˈtiŋɡal di ˈrumah/ || If it rains, I will stay home.
 
|-
 
| Jika saya mempunyai masa, saya akan membantu. || /ˈdʒikə ˈsaja məmˈpunyai ˈmasa, ˈsaja ˈakan məmˈbantu/ || If I have time, I will help.
 
|-
 
| Jika dia datang, kita akan mula. || /ˈdʒikə ˈdiə ˈdatang, ˈkitə ˈakan ˈmula/ || If he/she comes, we will start.
 
|-
 
| Jika mereka bersetuju, kita boleh pergi. || /ˈdʒikə məˈrɛka bərsəˈtuːdʒu, ˈkitə ˈboleh ˈpərɡi/ || If they agree, we can go.
 
|-
 
| Jika awak belajar, anda akan lulus. || /ˈdʒikə ˈawak bəˈlajar, ˈanda ˈakan ˈlulus/ || If you study, you will pass.
 
|}
|}


Example 2 - Impossible:  
=== Unreal Conditionals ===
 
Unreal conditionals describe situations that are hypothetically possible but are not true. They often use the past tense to indicate that the condition is unlikely or impossible.
 
The structure here is:
 
''If + past tense condition + result''.
 
In Malay, this can be expressed as:
 
''Sekiranya + condition (past tense) + result''.
 
Here are some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English
! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Sekiranya saya mempunyai sayap, saya akan terbang. || /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈsaja məmˈpunyai ˈsɑjap, ˈsaja ˈakan tərˈbaŋ/ || If I had wings, I would fly.
|-
| Sekiranya dia tahu, dia akan membantu. || /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈdiə ˈtahu, ˈdiə ˈakan məmˈbantu/ || If he/she knew, he/she would help.
|-
| Sekiranya mereka datang lebih awal, kita sudah siap. || /səˈkiːrɪnjə məˈrɛka ˈdatang ləˈbih ˈawal, ˈkitə ˈsudah ˈsiap/ || If they had come earlier, we would have been ready.
|-
| Sekiranya awak tidak berasa sakit, kita boleh pergi. || /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈawak tiˈdak bərˈasa ˈsakit, ˈkitə ˈboleh ˈpərɡi/ || If you weren't feeling sick, we could go.
|-
|-
| Kalau saya mempunyai sayap || kah-lau sa-ya mem-pu-nya-i sa-yap || If I had wings
 
| Saya boleh terbang ke langit || sa-ya bo-leh ter-bang ke lan-git || I could fly to the sky
| Sekiranya saya menjadi presiden, saya akan melakukan banyak perubahan. || /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈsaja mɛnˈdʒadi ˈprɛzɪdən, ˈsaja ˈakan mɛˈlakukan ˈbanyak pərˈubahan/ || If I were president, I would make many changes.
 
|}
|}


Example 3 - Hypothetical:  
=== Mixed Conditionals ===
 
Mixed conditionals combine aspects of both real and unreal conditionals. They are used to express a condition in one time frame and a result in another.
 
The structure is:
 
''If + condition (past) + result (present)''.
 
In Malay, this can be expressed as:
 
''Jika + condition (past) + result (present)''.
 
Here are some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English
! Malay (individual language) !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| Jika saya belajar lebih awal, saya sekarang lulus. || /ˈdʒikə ˈsaja bəˈlajar ləˈbih ˈawal, ˈsaja səˈkarang ˈlulus/ || If I had studied earlier, I would pass now.
|-
|-
| Kalau anda kaya-raya sekali || kah-lau an-da ka-ya-ra-ya se-ka-li || If you are very rich
 
| Anda boleh membeli negara || an-da bo-leh mem-be-li ne-ga-ra || You could buy a country
| Jika dia tidak pergi, kita sedang menunggu. || /ˈdʒikə ˈdiə tiˈdak ˈpərɡi, ˈkitə ˈsədang mɛnˈunggu/ || If he/she hadn't gone, we would be waiting.
 
|-
 
| Jika mereka lebih rajin, mereka akan berjaya hari ini. || /ˈdʒikə məˈrɛka ləˈbih ˈradʒin, məˈrɛka ˈakan bərˈdʒaya ˈhari ˈini/ || If they had worked harder, they would succeed today.
 
|-
 
| Jika awak tidak terjatuh, anda sudah sampai. || /ˈdʒikə ˈawak tiˈdak tərˈdʒatu, ˈanda ˈsudah ˈsampai/ || If you hadn't fallen, you would have arrived.
 
|-
 
| Jika saya berkenalan dengan dia, saya akan lebih memahami. || /ˈdʒikə ˈsaja bərkəˈnalan dənˈɡən ˈdiə, ˈsaja ˈakan ləˈbih pəmˈahami/ || If I had met him/her, I would understand better.
 
|}
|}
== Usage of Conditional Sentences ==
Conditional sentences are commonly used in Malay to express possibilities, consequences, and hypothetical situations. Possible conditional sentences are often used for making plans or predictions, while impossible conditional sentences are used to express regret or hypothetical situations. Hypothetical conditional sentences are used to express imagined or possible situations. It's essential to master their usage to convey the intended meaning effectively.


For example:  
=== Formation and Usage ===
* Kalau awak tak mahu pergi ke acara ini, jangan turut campur tangan dalam urusan ini (If you do not want to go to this event, do not interfere with this matter).
 
* Jika tidak hujan, kami akan pergi berkelah di taman itu hari ini (If it does not rain, we will go for a picnic at the park today).
When forming conditional sentences in Malay, remember the following points:
* Kalau saya mempunyai wang, saya mahu membuka restoran sendiri (If I have money, I want to open my restaurant).
 
* Use '''"jika"''' or '''"sekiranya"''' for "if".
It's a good idea to practice various examples of conditional sentences for each type to improve your proficiency in Malay. Understanding how to distinguish between possible, impossible, and hypothetical conditional sentences is essential to convey your message accurately.  
 
* The '''verb tense''' changes based on the reality of the condition.
 
* The '''context''' of the conversation matters; choose the right type of conditional based on what you want to express.
 
'''Key Points to Remember:'''
 
* Real conditionals are straightforward and used for possible situations.
 
* Unreal conditionals involve hypothetical scenarios.
 
* Mixed conditionals connect different time frames, making them more complex.
 
=== Practice Exercises ===

Malay (individual language) Grammar → Conditional Sentences

Welcome to another exciting lesson in our "Complete 0 to A1 Malay (individual language) Course"! Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of conditional sentences in Malay. Conditional sentences are essential because they allow us to express possibilities, hypotheses, and scenarios. They help us talk about what might happen if certain conditions are met, making our conversations richer and more interesting!

In this lesson, we'll explore:

  • What conditional sentences are
  • The different types of conditional sentences in Malay
  • How to form and use them correctly
  • A variety of examples to illustrate each point

So, grab your notebook, and let's get started!

What are Conditional Sentences?[edit | edit source]

Conditional sentences express a condition and its result. In Malay, these sentences often follow a structure similar to English, and they can be used in various contexts.

Types of Conditional Sentences:

1. Real Conditionals: These express real possibilities.

2. Unreal Conditionals: These refer to hypothetical situations that are not true.

3. Mixed Conditionals: These combine elements of both real and unreal conditionals.

Real Conditionals[edit | edit source]

Real conditionals are used when the condition is possible and likely to occur. The structure typically follows:

If + condition + result.

In Malay, this can be expressed as:

Jika + condition + result.

Here are some examples:

Malay (individual language) Pronunciation English
Jika hujan, saya akan tinggal di rumah. /ˈdʒikə huˈdʒan, ˈsaja ˈakan ˈtiŋɡal di ˈrumah/ If it rains, I will stay home.
Jika saya mempunyai masa, saya akan membantu. /ˈdʒikə ˈsaja məmˈpunyai ˈmasa, ˈsaja ˈakan məmˈbantu/ If I have time, I will help.
Jika dia datang, kita akan mula. /ˈdʒikə ˈdiə ˈdatang, ˈkitə ˈakan ˈmula/ If he/she comes, we will start.
Jika mereka bersetuju, kita boleh pergi. /ˈdʒikə məˈrɛka bərsəˈtuːdʒu, ˈkitə ˈboleh ˈpərɡi/ If they agree, we can go.
Jika awak belajar, anda akan lulus. /ˈdʒikə ˈawak bəˈlajar, ˈanda ˈakan ˈlulus/ If you study, you will pass.

Unreal Conditionals[edit | edit source]

Unreal conditionals describe situations that are hypothetically possible but are not true. They often use the past tense to indicate that the condition is unlikely or impossible.

The structure here is:

If + past tense condition + result.

In Malay, this can be expressed as:

Sekiranya + condition (past tense) + result.

Here are some examples:

Malay (individual language) Pronunciation English
Sekiranya saya mempunyai sayap, saya akan terbang. /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈsaja məmˈpunyai ˈsɑjap, ˈsaja ˈakan tərˈbaŋ/ If I had wings, I would fly.
Sekiranya dia tahu, dia akan membantu. /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈdiə ˈtahu, ˈdiə ˈakan məmˈbantu/ If he/she knew, he/she would help.
Sekiranya mereka datang lebih awal, kita sudah siap. /səˈkiːrɪnjə məˈrɛka ˈdatang ləˈbih ˈawal, ˈkitə ˈsudah ˈsiap/ If they had come earlier, we would have been ready.
Sekiranya awak tidak berasa sakit, kita boleh pergi. /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈawak tiˈdak bərˈasa ˈsakit, ˈkitə ˈboleh ˈpərɡi/ If you weren't feeling sick, we could go.
Sekiranya saya menjadi presiden, saya akan melakukan banyak perubahan. /səˈkiːrɪnjə ˈsaja mɛnˈdʒadi ˈprɛzɪdən, ˈsaja ˈakan mɛˈlakukan ˈbanyak pərˈubahan/ If I were president, I would make many changes.

Mixed Conditionals[edit | edit source]

Mixed conditionals combine aspects of both real and unreal conditionals. They are used to express a condition in one time frame and a result in another.

The structure is:

If + condition (past) + result (present).

In Malay, this can be expressed as:

Jika + condition (past) + result (present).

Here are some examples:

Malay (individual language) Pronunciation English
Jika saya belajar lebih awal, saya sekarang lulus. /ˈdʒikə ˈsaja bəˈlajar ləˈbih ˈawal, ˈsaja səˈkarang ˈlulus/ If I had studied earlier, I would pass now.
Jika dia tidak pergi, kita sedang menunggu. /ˈdʒikə ˈdiə tiˈdak ˈpərɡi, ˈkitə ˈsədang mɛnˈunggu/ If he/she hadn't gone, we would be waiting.
Jika mereka lebih rajin, mereka akan berjaya hari ini. /ˈdʒikə məˈrɛka ləˈbih ˈradʒin, məˈrɛka ˈakan bərˈdʒaya ˈhari ˈini/ If they had worked harder, they would succeed today.
Jika awak tidak terjatuh, anda sudah sampai. /ˈdʒikə ˈawak tiˈdak tərˈdʒatu, ˈanda ˈsudah ˈsampai/ If you hadn't fallen, you would have arrived.
Jika saya berkenalan dengan dia, saya akan lebih memahami. /ˈdʒikə ˈsaja bərkəˈnalan dənˈɡən ˈdiə, ˈsaja ˈakan ləˈbih pəmˈahami/ If I had met him/her, I would understand better.

Formation and Usage[edit | edit source]

When forming conditional sentences in Malay, remember the following points:

  • Use "jika" or "sekiranya" for "if".
  • The verb tense changes based on the reality of the condition.
  • The context of the conversation matters; choose the right type of conditional based on what you want to express.

Key Points to Remember:

  • Real conditionals are straightforward and used for possible situations.
  • Unreal conditionals involve hypothetical scenarios.
  • Mixed conditionals connect different time frames, making them more complex.
