MALAY IDIOMS
MALAY IDIOMS
Yet another book of he March 12 Order for Malay language and culture written by Hasan Muhammad Ali again from the Singaporean publisher Times Inc and shows te idioms as a format of compound words
And another book with interesting info
Chapter 1 is just the introduction
Chapter 2 describes idioms as like a play with words sh9wing some examples as with anak engkat (adopted child )
chapter 3 discusses the reason to use the idioms with examples from various texts
chapter 4 discusses the meaning of symbols on how the Malaysians language is a proverbial language
Then on part two it shows the Malaysian idioms with this format :
- idioms - compound words sorted alphabetically
- translation or explanation in English
- re-translation in Malay
- an example
- its translation in English
MY opinion is that this book tgouh introductory still can help quite the student of the language
