  • Find out what unusual and weird habits Malaysians have. In this video I share my thoughts on the unusual habits that Malaysian people have, from language habits to bathroom habits! I have lived in Malaysia for more than 10 years and most of these habits have become normal to me, I even catch myself doing most of these things as well!
    Malaysia is a multicultural country with various ethnicities and religions. Like any other country or culture, there are some unusual habits that might seem normal to a Malaysian, but seem quite weird to a foreigner.
    In this video you will learn about the usage of the word Lah, the toilet spray or Bum Gun, the reason behind Aunty and Uncle and why Malaysians tend to Double Park.
    I am a foreigner that has been living in Malaysia since 2011 and I love the people, the culture and nature here. I make videos about my life as a Dutchman in Malaysia and I live in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. Follow me on my journey through life in this beautiful South East Asian country.

      @MrArthoz 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Because "thank you" in Malay doesn't really mean thank you but an expression of thanks because the literal meaning of "terima kasih" is "receive my love". So the reply of the same words or "sama-sama" (which literally means same-same) is the expression that is to reciprocate with giving our love in return to be thankful.
      Then there's a joke or flirting way people do when thanked by saying "kasih diterima" or mean your love is received. 😏

    • @joey070893
      @joey070893 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      It's because they are directly translated from the malay sentences. Malaysians think in malay so when we directly translate the sentence, you just can't convert the *_lah_* into english, so it stays there.
      Bukanlah - No lah
      Macam tu lah - like that lah
      Tentu lah - of course lah
      Janganlah - don't lah
      If you just add the lah to the end of every sentence, sometimes it feels off because the original malay sentence doesn't have the *lah* in it. Nak letak lah pun kena ada tatabahasa yg betul.

    i think that 'sudah makan' term came from WW2 where Malaysia is intruded by the Japanese. Lots of people hide inside the jungle to avoid massacre. They only managed to eat sweet potatos, and some even have to eat tree bark. People were always hungry at that time. So they always greet someone 'have u eaten' to show their care.

    'Boss' is indirectly to show some respect.

Coz we never like people to belittle us right?

    the lah word just like you said, it like emotion on the sentence, it differ on the tone for expression either to persuade, happy, angry, sad, dissappointment and other expression...best to use on persuade, like boleh laaaa(when to ask something to do something or buy something)
    repetitive word - normally to give firm answer, because sometimes we will ask 2-3 times to confirm, but when somebody just said 3-4 time that one mean you can do/get it...
    dah makan / food - another chapter for malaysian to break the ice/to start conversation plus to show caring for somebody. if close friends or family, sometimes they will prepare snack and beverage and then chit chat while eating, if coming at lunch or dinner then you will be asking to join...food are close to our heart plus we have multiculture hence we enjoy all kind off food. But when outside, it will become a horror as we dont know where to eat...(same as to me when somebody ask where the good restaurant to eat or recommend, i will answer dont know because it is hard to recommend the restaurant that suit the palate of your friends)
    uncle/aunty/boss/akak/abang - our respect on other people and we feel like we are in one family. we hardly to say sir/madam/miss (tuan / puan / encik / cik in malay) this word normally use on formal ocassion or when you at government office...
    time- yeah, we call it malaysian standard time... but it depends on people. me, myself are very punctual...but if official thing, most of them are punctual...
    chilie - yeah, chilie sauces are the best... i always bring the packet when travel...

I remember that i did carefully smuggling them in my luggage before i went to Germany and the officer at the scan machine was like “oi kicap, sos jalen” and just shaking his head while looking at me. Luckily he let it slipped away when i said that i was a student hahaha. It’s quite easy to find soy sauce with almost the same taste but 100% sure that i never taste any chilli sauce like we have in Malaysia here.

    On the way is more like "I'm going there now" and if they are really on the way they will tell you their current location. Some will tell you "will be there in 5mins" or "almost there" but some ppl lie about that.

      I'd like to go, but Asia is still closed. I may move to Indonesia where I lived before but I'd really like to visit Malaysia before I make up my brain about which one feels better to me. Indonesia has great food, too. Similar, of course.

    Not sure of anyone ever mentioned this
    But here we in Sabah ( not sure Sarawak ), when asked to point something from some distance… it would be like
    “Oh, ni barang kena pajak kat saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanah kedai tu.”
    Or
    “tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-nah boss, dekat saaaaaaana tu rumah dia”
    The longer the sound, the far it’s gets XD
