Want to learn some Malay greetings? Here are the answers. In Malaysia, we do not have 'hello'. Basically, 'hello' is 'hello' and 'hi' is 'hai'. Though sometimes the Muslims (in Malaysia) greet each other by 'Assalamualaikum' (*I am not a Muslim, so forgive me if I got the spelling wrong.) How are you? - Apa khabar? I'm fine. - Khabar baik Thank You - Terima Kasih You're welcome. - Sama-sama Welcome - Selamat Datang Good Morning - Selamat Pagi Good Afternoon - Selamat Tengah Hari Good Evening - Selamat Petang Good Night - Selamat Malam Yes - Ya No/not - Tidak,tak (both can be used) Correct - Betul Wrong - Salah / Tidak betul Help - Tolong! Danger - Bahaya. I'm sorry - Minta maaf, maaf Forgive me - Maafkan aku (more casual), Maafkan saya (more polite) *Saya/Aku both means 'I/me/myself'. 'saya' is a more polite version whilst, 'aku' is a more casual version (usually used with friends, family members, etc. but usually 'aku' is more commonly used and it is not very offensive or rude.) When asking for assistance - Minta tolong. When asking a question (May I ask?) - Tumpang tanya. For anymore questions, do leave a comment :)
