 I N r KO D L' c r I ON

Malay may he described as a language in which

it is easy to make
oneself understood but which it
is difllcult to speak idiomatically. Its very simpli-
city is a snare. It docs not readily adapt itself to
conditional or dependent constructions, so that the
attempt to literally translate English into Malay
usually ends in failure. The student should
accordingly aim at simplicity if the sentence he
;

wishes to translate is involved, he should divide it

into two or three simple sentences. Thus " bring
me the hat " may be readily put into Malay, but
" bring me the hat that I bought yesterday " should
be expressed " I bought a hat yesterday
: bring it." ;

A native avoids the use of unnecessary words.

If a man meets a friend on the road he would not
say " Wliere are you going to ? " but simply
''
whither ? " {ka-mana). The circumstances undei
which the question is addressed suggest the rest of
the sentence. He may use " you " if the presence
of other people on the road makes the question
otherwise ambiguous he will say " going " if the
;

action is doubtful, and he will indicate the present

tense if he wishes to emphasize it. The full question
" Where are you going to ? " if literally translated,
would suggest " To what particular place are you
of all people,
this of all times, possibly going
at
to ? " The
golden rule in speaking Malay is to
eliminate unnecessary words. Do not say " bring
me my hat." when " bring hat " will suffice.
 —
NTROr)UCTrON,

Another valuable rule is to make as much use

as possible of voice inflexion. A question can be
expressed, and (by natives) is usually expressed,
not by an elaborate interrogative construction but
by simply altering the tone of voice. Interrogative
constructions are for written Malay whei'e intonation
is impossible, not for spoken Malay where intonation
will suffice.
Do not attempt to be too precise. In the ex-
pression " I went to town yesterday," it is unneces-
sary to go out of one's way to use the past tense
(fiudah pegi). The word "yesterday" is suflicient
to .show that the going took place in the past.
unnecessary words are eliminated, if intona-
If
tion ismade full use of, and if over-precision is not
aimed at, the simple constructions of the Malay
language will suffice for all practical purposes to
express our thoughts.

The following grammatical rules may be found

useful :

ARTICLE.—There is no article in Malay. For

the indefinite article, the word " sa " (one) may be
used for the definite artiole, the demonstrative
;

pronouns ini (this) and itii (that) can be employed.

Sa precedes the noun ini and itii follow it.
; In
most cases the article can be omitted as unnecessary.
—
XOl'N. The noun is not inflected. The plural
Clin be indicated, if necessary, either by doubling
the woi'd (e.g., rumah-rumah, houses, from riimah,
iiouse), or by using a multiple such as banya'
(nmch, many). The genitive can be expressed either
by the use of pnniia, e.g., sahya pnnya niniah (my
house) or by naming the possessor after the thing
possessed, e.g., runiah sahya (my house). The us*
 INTRODUCTION.

riic Mccusjitive is not niarlvcd in any way.

ADJECTlVE.-'VXw atljective is not inlkcted. It

follows tlic noun, e.g., orntuj kaya (a rich niani. 11

is really an adjectival noun, uruny kaya being
lilerally "•
man of wealth," while kaya orany would
mean *'
N\ealtli ol" man." (Comparison is expressed
l»\ liii-use ol tleri or ileripada. " This liouse is
higher than that house " would be " linygi rumah iiii
ili'ri{iaila rumah ilu." The superlative is expressed
by preli.viug ymiy and sullixing sa-kuli, e.g., " the
highest " is yatiy linygi sa-kali.

—
PliO^OL^'. The use of the pronoun is some-
what idiomatic. For the first person singular, a
European should use aaliya. For the second person,
lu should onlj be used when addressing a Chinese
servant in addressing Malays, the name or title of
;

the person addressed should be used. In most cases

the pronoun is unnecessary. The tliird person
singular (where absolutely necessary j is dia, or ia.
The hrst person plural is kila. " They " uia-y be
expressed by dia urang, but dia will usually sullice.
The demonstfatives are ini (this) aud itu (that).
The use of the relative pronouns should be avoided.
The interrogatives are siapa (who), apa (what),
:

rnana where).
(

ADVERB. — The rules for the adverb are identical

with those for the adjective.

—
VERB. The Malay \erb is really a verbal noun.
Thus kata oraiig may be translated "people say,"
hut is more lilerall.\ *' Ihe saying of men i.s." The
verb has aect)idiiigly no inlle.\ions lo show mood,
lense, number or person. A past signillcation can
 INTRODUCTION.

be given by prefixing sudah and a future significa-

tion by prefixing mau or henda' or (in Penang) na' ;
it is,however, usually unnecessary to indicate tense
in this way. Tenses like the future perfect and
pluperfect, and moods like the conditional and
subjunctive, only occur in English in compound
constructions such as should be avoided in Malay by
solution into simple sentences.
PREPOSITIONS, CONJUNCTIONS, and INTER-
JECT IONS. —These will be found in the Vocabulary.
They call for no remark.
The key to speaking Malay is, as we have already
stated, the art of simplifying one's English and then
ti-anslating it. The beginner, whose limitations
compel him to stick to simple sentences, is often
better understood than the more ambitious advanced
student who attempts to use conditional and relative
sentences. Literary Malay has, of course, greater
capabilities than the ordinary colloquial, but it
demands prolonged study and is only understood by
the best educated Malays.

Note. Tlie use of any fractions except the
simple ones mentioned or suggested above is liable
to expose the user to the possibility of being mis-
understood. Fractional forms such as sa-pertiga (a
third), sa-peranam (a sixth), dua pera'nam (two-
sixths), etc., are found in books but are rarely
understood. Special expressions such as sa-tali (a
third) are met with in some localities but are not
in general use.

Idiomatic Xcmervl Expressions.

Two special of the use of the Malay
features
numerals deserve mention though they are practi-
cally confined to the language when spoken in Its
purity and are not often met with in the "bazaar"
Malay of the towns.
 —

Numerals.

A peculiar numeral form is created by prefixing

" ber " to the cardinal numeral. It may be roughly
—
translated " in a party of ." Thus " sahaya pegi
:

birtiga, pulang berdiia " would mean " I w ent in a

party of three, and returned in a party of two," or
" I went with two companions and returned with
one."

Again, just as occasionally in English we do not

use expressions such as " two cattle," but speak of
" two head of cattle," so the almost invariable rule
in pure Malay is to use a classifier or co-eflicient
between the cardinal numeral and the noun. Thus,
they speak of " one tail of horse," instead of " one
horse {sa-ekor kuda). The principal classifiers
are:

Orang before names of human beings, e.g.,

sa-orang mata-mata (a policeman).
Ekor before names of animals, e.g., lima ekor
lembii (five oxen).

Biiah . before the names of globular objects of

fair or large size and before the names
of large or massive objects generally,
e.g., sa-buah batii (a stone or rock),
sa-biiali gunong (a mountain), sa-buah
ncgri (a town).
Biji before the names of objects of insigni-
ficant size such as seeds, precious
stones, etc.

Batang before the names of objects of long

cylindrical shape such as spears, or
trees (from their trunks).

Bilah before the names of objects suggesting

long thin strips, such as knives,
swords, etc.
Lai before the names of tenuous objects such
as feathers, pieces of cloth, sheets of
paper, etc.
