What is the difference between berkawin and kawin??
I have been learning Bahasa Melayu over the Internet, and the website which I'm referring to says the both sentences below are the same.

1) Dia kata dia akan berkawin bulan hadapan.(more formal???)
2) Dia kata dia akan kawin bulan depan.

How do Malaysian feel about two sentences??
The prefix "ber" is always bugging me....
Could anybody make it clear for me?
Thanks in advance.:)
I forgot "h" :) berkawin--berkahwin, kawin-kahwin

2)saya akan kahwin minggu depan.

kahwin은 동사예요..
berkahwin은 동작동사

사실은 말레이시아 사람들이 말씀은 간단하게 하고 싶어서 'ber', 'mem', 'me' 항상 버렸어요. 말할때 괜찮지만 쓸때는 안됩니다.

Dia kata dia akan berkawin bulan hadapan (O)
Dia kata dia akan kawin bulan depan. (X)
