8. pengirim: sender
9. penerima: recipient
10.pejabat pos: post office
We also looked at a video related to Pos Malaysia. In this video, Lyn, who is a botanist, sent a letter to her mother on how she had arrived in her research grounds and her life there. Lyn kirim surat kepada emak dia.
New words from the video: (with lines from the video)
1. Cantik: beautiful. { Tempat ini besar dan cantik. KL lain. This place is big and beautiful. KL is different. }{ KL: Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia. So we know that Lyn is originally from KL. Lyn berasal dari KL.}
You can also use it to describe a person, clothings, places, houses...etc. ( Pelakon itu cantik. That actress is beautiful **Note there is no gender in the word pelakon. But since "Cantik" is used here. we assume that it is an actress that is being described)
2. hutan: forest or jungle. { Kami naik jip, sampan, jalan di hutan baru sampai. We rode a jeep, a relatively flat-bottomed boat and walk in the forest before we finally arrived.}
3.air paip: piped water
4. bunga: flowers { Bunga yang ibu suka ada banyak kat sini. There are abundance of flowers that mum likes here}
5. rindu: miss/ missing someone { Lyn kat sini 6 bulan. Rindu kat ibu. Lyn is here for 6 months. I miss you very much.) Note ** kat is short for dekat. It is usually used in casual speech context, kat has the function very similar to prepositions. Saya duduk kat sana. I sat there or literally means "close to there'.
