oic thanks..so both not = to? different from the iPhone translator..

 

[erection2015]

er both of them not = 'to ' GF....anyway just stay tuned. If i am wrong or only partially correct some of the other guys will input.

oic thanks..so both not = to? different from the iPhone translator..

 

[groober2011]

oic thanks..so both not = to? different from the iPhone translator..

It depends on the structure of the sentence. Check you translator as it gives you the options.

 

[KNNBCCB]

oic thanks..so both not = to? different from the iPhone translator..

some example :

from sg to my = dari sg "ke" my
give it to me = beri "kepada" saya
from here to where ? = dari sini sampai mana ?

 

[ginfreely]

It depends on the structure of the sentence. Check you translator as it gives you the options.

I just checked again using the translator. Sampai = to in the big box, below scroll up got one long string... sampai= reach, come, arrive etc as a verb, = as far as adverb, = to, through, unto etc as preposition, = until, till as conjunction..aiyoh so many diff interpretations how to remember..Kepala pusing..

Yes that is how you use the translator. Malay words cannot be translated to English just by the first word you see as there are options.

 

[KNNBCCB]

some example :

from sg to my = dari sg "ke" my
give it to me = beri "kepada" saya
from here to where ? = dari sini sampai mana ?

i want to eat = saya mahu makan

I suppose you need to have real life conversations in Malay to understand better. Understanding Malay by reading and translating is rudimentary at best and can lead to misunderstanding. A better way but quite troublesome is to copy the Malay translation and then reverse it from Malay/English to English/Malay. That too is not perfect.
