The biggest question in my mind when it comes to my own mother tongue language, Malay. I’ve always been scared to study my own language cause I think I rarely use proper Malay whenever I write or talk. I tend to mix it with English.
This has been a lifetime problem. Ever since in Primary 1, when we study Malay, I never got to fully understand it unlike English. It’s quite shameful that I’m weak in my own mother tongue. I mean, I get the idioms and singular/plural, and those grammar stuff. The thing that really bugs me the most are ; Spelling and Essay.
Essays are the tough one to do. Compared to do it in English, I found it’s easier to write than in Malay. I always have a very tough time to write a simple essay. Sometimes, I don’t know how to start and end it. Therefore, I tend to write the opening and conclusion way longer than I have to. Sometimes, I have to translate the sentence in my brain before writing it down in Malay. That’s why I will use “ “ If I can’t find a proper Malay word to the English word of it.
And I guess, from now on, I’ll be reading some Malay materials. And by that, I do not mean Malay romance novels as it tends to not broaden my minds and, the Malay usage is not quite standard.
