      Malays say "Makan dah?" or "Makan belum?"
      Malaysian non-Malays: "Sudah makan?" or "你吃饭了吗 (nǐ chī fàn le mɑ)?"
      "Makan-aredi" if multiple ethnics.

      There is a trick when you read short 3 or 4 letters in our Bahasa Malaysia language.
      Mkn - makan ( eat)
      Mnum- minum ( drink)
      Byr - bayar ( pay)
      Ckp - cakap ( say, talk)
      Xnak - tak nak, tidak mahu ( don't want)
      Xsuka - tak suka ( don't like)
      X is equivalent as tidak ( no)
      Jgn - jangan ( don't)
      Kete - kereta ( car😅)
      Tido- tidur ( sleep)
      Syg - sayang ( love or my love)
      Abg - abang ( brother )
      These are the few things that I can think at the moment.
      Pls ( please) add in.😅
      Have a blessed weekend!

    Singaporean here. I agree with Agata. Malaysians are generally very generous in spirit. They are also quite chill and cool and they usually mind their own business. I was the Sales Manager for a foreign airline in Kuala Lumpur and my job was visiting travel agents. Those travel agents were super nice and if it was raining heavily, the boss would tell his staff to go out in the rain (with an umbrella of course) and grab a taxi for me. And they would always invite me for yum cha (literally drink tea). Very nice people. And their shopping malls are also very modern.

      Singapore is literally just a city state that got independence from the rest of the country (malaysia). So the mentality isn't that much different. Its just that Singapore is quite a metropolitant society so the fast paced lifestyle comapred to malaysia (in general is pretty slow comapred to singapore) made you feel less "chill". Other than that. yeah pretty much similar.@@geodarnodan6750

    Malaysia have a very simple formula. You respect us = we respect you.
    If you remember incidents like the band 1975 did on stage, those are an example being disrespectful. Respect is earned and not given and in those specific incident they definitely don't earn our respect.
    Another example we don't tolerate "Karen-like" behaviour.

We live in great tolerance so that we can achieve peace and unity as Malaysians together. I would say Malaysia is pretty safe place for a woman to have a solo travelling.

      Her story with getting the right direction from a local reminded me of my experience in Madrid. I was walking pleasantly in springtime from a hotel on Gran Via towards the Madrid Hard Rock Cafe to get some souvenirs. At that time in 1996, there was no internet for navigation so I just asked from few strangers for the right direction. And there was a young couple with a toddler in a stroller, they were so kind and willing to walk with me to the HRC but I didn't want to impose them to such an inconvenience. Finally, found my way to HRC, bought some t-shirts for souvenir, but kind of regret I couldn't buy the affordable wonderful leather jacket because I already bought two jackets when I was in Seville prior to Madrid. I just couldn't believe I met some friendly people in Spain.

    About using swear words, it's not that the Malay language doesn't have them, but, thanks to Agatha here, I just realized it is extremely uncommon for most Malays to swear using strong language. I think being Muslims plays a big part, but overall, people generally would disapprove if they heard you use strong language and mean it.

    Men whistling or calling for attention to attract women is called 'catcalling' , it is not common anymore in Malaysian cultures. It still can be founded in small villages but that cultures died already as more Malaysians are educated and respectful mostly towards tourists, expats or foreigners. If it happen at work, it can be considered as a sexual harassment in Malaysia.
    Yeah, it is common in India or some parts of the Middle Eastern countries, or even in Europe or USA. If women expats/tourists get catcalled in Malaysia , surely they are foreign workers or they really like you! And another thing, it is not common Malaysian cultures to ask tourist or foreigner for taking photo/selfie unless you already knew them or talk to them or you are an influencer or a famous youtuber.

      Not sure if it happens with males but females especially the high schoolers and aunties are very.. overbearing when they have those traits.

    This culture of 'sudah makan kah/have you eat yet' stems from how our ancestors were really concerned about their guest's fatigueness. You see, traveling was really hard centuries ago. At that time, there is no food stalls or restaurants in the mid-journey. Even the roads were only made from red dirt except in the towns and cities. With the uneven surface of the unpaved roads, going endless uphills and downhills through the rainforest, plus expending extra energy to push your vehicle out of the slippery mud if it is raining, some even have to add a several hours of boat trip before finally arrived, which are really taxing on your body.
    Thus, the people at your destination that time will always cook and serve you a hefty meal when you have just arrived. Throughout a few decades of slow infrastructures development, this had became a tradition naturally and a necessity.
    Then, the sudden boom of infrastructures development and modernization just since 1980s which is quite recent changed the way we travel. Paved roads and highways, bridges, shortcut through mountains via tunnels, food stalls and restaurants emerged everywhere along the trip, made our travels more comfortable and more convenient. Time changes, but the tradition of making sure the guests are not hungry remains and turned into a welcoming habit even if you're just meeting people or your collegues anywhere. "have you eaten yet?" and off to kopitiam, mamak's or tomyum we go. XD

    Malaysian themself taking Malaysia hospitality for granted sometimes. Once you visit / live for a while in another country, especially European country, you will understand the word Malaysian hospitality truly means.

    I'm pretty sure that if you approach anything or someone with positivity, they will do the same for you. It makes me think of renowned gorilla and chimpanzee researchers Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall. They were receiving positive responses from both species, which helped them learn more about these creatures. No matter where they are from, humans can undoubtedly be treated better if you can do that for animals. To be good humans, all you have to do is be kind to each other.

    Youll find most Malays helpful as there's a verse in the Qur'an, 23:61, that tells you to hasten towards good deeds and that good deeds would be rewarded manifold, so it's never a waste of time. I'm not sure you'll get the same experience in Penang.

    It is an ancient culture in Asia especially for the Chinese community when they ask you " have you eaten " or have you eaten and are you full '?" This is because in China since ancient times there have been famines all year round in all the states in China due to drought ..floods...wars ....crop failures due to pest ...diseases etc.. When the " have you eaten " means that is everything okay with you... are you fine or as a greeting gesture of politeness to friends or strangers...

  • @hxsm8090

    Now that you mentioned it, i noticed something. Malay swear words are usually taken from other language. Cibai from chinese, puki from indonesian, kanina from indian. Malay's only legit swear is babi (pig). Often times they replace those swear with something none-profanity at all, like replacing babi with siput (snail), sudu (spoon) for no reason at all. It would sound like swearing from its intonation, but since its non-profanity, people dont take it seriously.
    Come to think of it, it's really funny how malays would avoid their language to use for swearing.
