'saya rasa' more common..we usually use 'sedikit' in writing but it's still correct to say it in speaking..'sikit' is more common.
before eating and drinking.. we usually say 'selamat menjamu selera' ..we also say 'jemput minum' before drinking and 'jemput makan' before eating : )

no problem you can use rasa or fikir..both are normally used...sedikit and sikit also both are common...when you are a little bit lazy at the time then use sikit instead [emoji]

"Saya rasa" is more common, to say "I think...".
"Sedikit" is the most common word to use, especially when writing.
"Sikit" can be use in conversational / verbally, but not in a writing form.
Need = Perlu
Finish = Habis / Tamat ( For time / duration / event )
Travel = Melancong ( Go for vacation )
Win = Menang
Ride = Menaiki ( Car / bus / lorry etc 4 wheels vehicles ) / Menunggang ( Bicycle / scooter / motorcycle etc 2 wheels vehicles )
Pay = Bayar
Leave ( a place ) = Tinggal ( "Meninggalkan tempat tersebut" = Left the place ), Pergi ( "Saya akan pergi terlebih dahulu" = I will make a leave first )
Give = Memberi
Before eating / drinking will greet "Jemput makan" / "Jemput minum", which means please help yourself with the food / drink.
Or "Sila makan" / "Sila minum", which means please eat / drink ( in a manner way ).
