What's the difference between "beli" and "membeli"??
I understand "beli" means "to buy", but how about "mem+beli"?
I saw lots of cases where the prefix "mem" is put before verbs or nouns.
Could you explain that with some examples in plain bahasa melayu?
Thanks in advance.

Beli:
- kata akar (root word) kepada membeli
- It could be a noun as well
e.g
- Barang-barng itu dibeli semalam
- Beli satu percuma satu
Membeli:
- kata laku/perbuatan (action) yang mana "beli"(kata akar) digabungkan dengan imbuhan "mem"(augmentation) = membeli
- And it could be a verb as well.
e.g Kakak saya telah membeli sebuah komputer.
I hope this will help you out :)
