Definitely loved the GongGong! :) Makes me think about a little rascal shiba running around making stuff tumble off the shelves as it runs into them. Maybe you can try to compate more animal sounds or animal names. Hint: the german word for butterfly is always good for a laugh. Foods are also interesting. e.g. Baga vs Hanbaga confused me when i first heard about it
Team Gong Gong 🐶 (Mekdi was close to becoming my favourite) Since I'm not familiar with the malaysian language any words would be interesting to me! Maybe words that are similar in the other languages like lion or chocolate? A whole ANIMAL SOUNDS SEGMENT would be fun 😀
Of all the malaysian guest that i found on every other channel where they compare languages. Alex is easily one of my favorites. She really embodies the malaysian slangs even if it's a bit karat 😂
The moment Alex said "gong gong" an image of Sajat appeared in my malay mind. Also "mesin layan diri" is very formal. Malaysians would just say "mesin" and people would know what you mean by the context of the sentence or "mesin gedegang" which is a slang. "Gedegang" referring to the sound a soda can makes when it falls out of the vending machine.

People like me who literally speak English most of the time rarely if not ever speak their mother tongue are quite plentiful, but not unlike the Singaporeans. I guess that could be considered a boon as I don't get caught up with the typical pronunciation hiccups with foreign languages (although I almost lost my voice learning the French "R").
Same thing happen here, but my problem is i used to spending my times outside Malaysian community...You know, Toxic and random bullshet and i dont have any friends ._.
To clear up the mystery of the coffee at the café in German: "Ich trinke einen Kaffee im Café", where the only difference is that "Kaffee" is stressed at the first syllable, and "Café" at the last one (; Edit: There are regional variants in which "Kaffee" is also stressed at the last syllable. But there they call cafés other things like "Kaffeehaus".
mehr oder weniger...ist ja auch regional verschieden :-P Kaffee wird so in einem durch gesagt mit scharfen FF und Café wird gemäß des franzischen Akzents auf das letzte E betont. Während anderorts auch der Kaffee wie das Café betont wird.
main question: why should you EVER say you are drinking a "Kaffee in a Cafè"? you would just say: ich bin\war im Cafè and people would be okay with it XD

usually we didnt translate the Name/brand. So spirited away is spirited away. But only for some situation we shorten the name as for Mekdi for Mcdonalds and 7-11 as Seven-E etc
@Hairizal Dahrin Just because she’s Chinese doesn’t mean she can’t have the Malaysian language as her first language. The official language in Malaysia is Malaysian and the definition of native language is the language of the country in which someone is born in or native to. So who are you to judge her even without knowing who she is as a person?
@Hairizal Dahrin How about you REREAD your own comment? You said it yourself that ALMOST ALL which means it's not ALL right ? That's the fact blablabla and no It's not a fact. That's just your own biased opinion. Based on the comments from other Malaysians I came to a conclusion that she speaks good Malay just like a native speaker. Be proud of your own fellow Malaysian and stop being so judgy.
@Hairizal Dahrin chill, that was very sensitive. I know some malays that don’t even know how to speaks their native language..that even worth..I am a Malay btw but i have many chinese friends that speaks malay fluently or at least they give a try. And sounds cute sometimes. Dont be too judgemental.
In German you usually say Kulli or just Stift if you're asking for a pen :D We have long words but we're often a bit lazy and use short versions of them
This was so great! Although I've never really listened to the language before, after hearing Alex speak I feel like Malaysians pronounce a lot of vowels and consonant sounds the same way we do in American English. When she first spoke, it sounded to me like she was speaking English and just using a lot of words I didn't know. Also, I love the word "penyepit"! It sounds so cute :-}
Shiori, Japanese people have a much easier time pronouncing German corretly than native English speakers. Only l/r is sometmies a problem, though the German r is different to the English one. (source: I had a guy from Yokohama for two years as a class mate in Berlin)
As a German who learned English in school and now learns Japanese on my own I really enjoyed this video and I finally wanna master japanese!! Its such a beautiful language, I especially love Kanji although its a pain to learn them haha 😂
The story about the German word "Pommes" is actually quite funny. French Fries originated in France (or what is the French speaking part of Belgium today to be precise). They called them "pommes frites" with literally means "fried apples", because the French word for potatoes is "pommes de terre" which literally means "ground apples"*. The we Germans took the French "pommes frites" and loaned it to "Pommes Frites", which sounds very similar to the French word, just with a little bit of a German accent. Then the Germans shortened the word to "Pommes", which is pronounced in a very German way as Sarah demonstrated. So in the end, the German word for "french fries" is just the French word for "apple" pronounced with a thick German accent. *Sidenote: The German word "Erdäpfel" (also literally "ground apple") is an archaic German word for "potato", so the French are not really alone here.
@@Mister_Ri_MFBMT No, french is a romance language which means it originated from latin. But because the large influence of latin both german and anglo-saxon were influenced by latin and then later after the normans conquered the british isles, anglo-saxon and french molded into english. That is why english often has close ties to french although one beeing a germanic and the other beeing a romance language.
@@StAngerNo1 Also, of all the Romance languages French has the most Germanic influences due to the Franks and just proximity. It's still a romance language while English and German are germanic, but close contact in Europe has led to a lot of weird quirks.
Another two funfacts, one that's obvious for german speakers and the other one is regional: 1. There is another German word for French Fries which is "Fritten". I don't know the origin without googling but my guess would just be that it has its origin from the german word "frittieren" which literally means "to fry". 2. In Cologne and the area around it we still use a form of "Erdapfel" (which means, like you said, "ground apple") in "Kölsch", which is the name of the cologne dialect, since we call potatoes "Ädappel" (singular) or "Ädeppel" (plural).
This video brought me so much joy, please make a part 2!! As someone who is learning 3 of the 4 languages in this video, I was also struggling like Sarah😂
Senang bisa Kembali mendengarkan orang Malaysia menggunakan bahasa melayu. Itu Akan membuat kalian tidak Hilang Jati diri🙏 Salam Nusantara From Indonesian 🇮🇩🇲🇾
TBH every instant noodle here is called maggi, even when it isn't. I learnt that the hard way, when my roommate asked if they could have one of my maggi. I don't buy Maggi, only Mi Sedaap (a different brand)... I was confused for so long.
@@CoAi4Ever yeah bcs Malaysian sometimes get used to use some brand name as a daily word not only maggi tho. You can find some of them use ‘Colgate’ that refer to a toothpaste or ‘Pampers’ that refer to a diaper and the list goes on 😂 i used to call like that sometimes 😬
In Bahasa Melayu there are two words for love: Sayang and Cinta. Sayang is used in a broader sense, and used for family members, friends, pets, material possessions etc. Cinta is often regarded as more intense and specific. Usually reserved for lovers/spouses. However, the concept of Cinta is also applied for higher love, particularly for your parents (as a unit), country or god. Unusually, we don't say Cinta to our parents, no matter how much you love them. Maybe they did, in the old days, but not today.
She speaks in a default malaysian accent and it's just soothing to the ears ... Hahaha ... Another way to say vending machine is mesin gedegang because it makes the ge-de-gang! sound when a can drops >
@@kingkong-gm6pp omg really? Many of friends use mesin gedegang for vending machine. I live in selangor and studied in n9 before. Maybe it is the slang word for people of my age
Haha yeah noticed that as well. She mentioned that her husband is Malaysian at the beginning of the video when she corrected Bahasa Melayu to Bahasa Jepun
Actually about the Malaysian "Kicap" if I'm not wrong a British traveller goes to southeast Asia to trade sauces and all sort of stuff... So one traveller taste the local Soy sauce or we call them "Kicap" then the British traveller took the sauces at the southeast asia and bring them back home. But the traveller got the name messed up, and that's why British call Tomato Ketchup and Soy sauce, well soy sauce.
You are wrong unfortunately. Ketchup comes from Cantonese word for tomato sauce (juice). Tomato in Cantonese is pronounced as "fun keh"(番茄) fun as in foreign so the "keh" part is the fruit in this phrase. Juice 汁 sound like "chup". Hence you have kehchup. Ketchup honestly don't fit in English it sounded very random for a sauce but it's very catchy and very suitable to make a product marketable. You can see the standardized naming system they have for soy sauce, chilli sauce and others. Why such a random change for tomato sauce? 😂 Soysauce is an oriental condiment, it's most likely that they traded this with China through hongkong harbour. Dont forget hongkong used to be under British colonization. Naming tomato sauce as ketchup means immediate click with the locals. Even the locals who don't study English will know what they are buying.
3:40 Alex: sos barbecue (Ba-Bi-Cue).. Alex after realising the way she pronounce it: *Something wrong I can feel it* Alex few seconds later: Sos BBQ (Bi-Bi-Cue) Lol😂
As someone who's recreationally studied linguistics for the past several years (and has studied precisely zero Malay to this point, heh :P ), this was fun to watch. Would definitely enjoy more of this.
@Tinu Singham not at all though. My grandma said cow as ‘sapi’. When we live in Peninsula said Telur Mata Lembu, she said Telur Mata Sapi. She’s from Sabah with Cocos ancestry btw
Such a fun video! So happy to see Alex representing Malaysia xD Malay usually keeps proper nouns as is so brand names and the like are usually the same as in the source language Ow O
I loved this! Fun, interesting, and with the lovely bit of almost-home that is German (I'm from the next country over, the Netherlands). Kinderwagen for the win!
I love how all of them knew a little bit about the other friends culture & language (and slang). And as Malaysian, kudos to Alex! She isn't so 'karat' lah. 😄 Oh ya, some Malaysian, esp in schools/local colleges student's community, we called the vending machine as = Mesin Gedegang 😂 Gedegang means the sound that we heard when the drinks falling down to the drawer 😂😂😂
German sounds a lot "softer" when a native speaker (who uses the language a lot) pronounces it, especially when common speech is used. But then again, when I hear the dialect of my state in the media, it also doesn't sound a bit like it does in my everyday life, because the pronounciation changes extremely when travling just a bit.
In Malaysia we almost never do Malay translation of any movies. We always keep the original language & title and just put subtitles. Translation maybe for some TV japanese anime.
You can go way less complicated for "Pen" in German and simply say "Stift" :) A "Kugelschreiber" is specifically a ball pen. And the "correct" name for french fries in German would be "Pommes Frites" and that usually is shortened to "Pommes" or "Fritten" :) It comes from the french "Pommes [de terre] frites". And I guess that's enough of being a Klugscheisser for the moment :D
Love the way Sarah speaks in German. It has this strong presence. Also I kinda wish there was a Filipino as well in the mix that would be fun as well. Also “Mekdi” took the spot XD
So Dais(u)ki is a casual “I love you/this/ something” and Aishiteru is the deep soulmate love of your life the one you marry / family member at the deathbed parting words version of I love you?
I literally just stumbled across these and I think they are super fun. I’m trying to learn Japanese and I feel that videos like these would help me associate the new Japanese to the old English.
I could watch this all day long for real. Hope you girls make it a series, it was really fun. I'm from Costa Rica so native spanish speaker, so I was making myself the 5th person in line saying all the words in spanish (the barking in spanish is guau guau, pronounced like goo-ow, say it really fast, sounds like a dog, at least to us lol)
Fascinating of how four ladies from different continents learning how to pronounced in English, Malay, German, and Japanese. Folks who are learning new languages can learn from these four ladies who upload this video on TH-cam.
being a German, I'd like to hear things like "adidas", "puma", "BMW", "Mercedes" but also food items like mashed potatoes, squirrel (or squirrel tail), guinea pig, and so on :D
As an English person, Squirrel is the best word for Germans to say- and not just because Germans sound hilarious when saying the English word. Also, the german word being eichhörnchen..."eich" = oak and "hörnchen" = croissant, so squirrel = oak croissant (I know hörnchen doesn't just mean croissant but don't spoil my fun! ☺).
In malay, the brand names is still called that way xcept if they shorten it such as bmw as only bm and mercedes as merc or merz.... Btw squirrel is tupai (too-pie) and squirrel tail is ekor (ay (as in bay) - co with light rnnunciation on the r) tupai..... Guinea pig is tikus mondok (literally traanslated to chubby rat/mouse)
Indonesian here, and it's very interesting to see some differences with Malay! (Indonesian is mostly based on a variant of Malay) Like when a dog is barking, in Indonesian it's also "menggonggong", but a dog sound is "guk guk" (with the "u" sounded more similar to English's "oo").
What a fun bunch! XD Greetings from Germany. Sarah was barely rusty at all, really nice. I wonder what languages will be like in 50 years, as we already use so many loanwords colloquially.
For Malay Language Chopsticks: Kayu Penyepit/Penyepit Spirited Away: Semangat yang Hilang/Hilang Semangat Cheers: Sorak Baby Stroller: Kereta Sorong Bayi "Sorong" and "Dorong" are different. Its hv different meaning. Sometimes, For general term such as movie/drama title, place name, specific term for things etc are remain the same to avoid confusion for people. For example: Bulbasaur = Bulbasaur Animal Crossing (Cartoon title) = Animal Crossing. In Malay: Haiwan Melintas.
I‘m fluent in English, Japanese and German and I just love how everyone‘s always like ‚whaaat‘ when the German word pops up 😂 certainly reminded me of my time in Japan hahah

In German you usually say Kulli or just Stift if you're asking for a pen :D We have long words but we're often a bit lazy and use short versions of them
The word Kulli means something totally different in Finnish :D
@@rokerius94 What does it mean in finnish? :D
@@ranija It's a slang word for *ahem*.. male genitalia :D
Kuli not Kulli
Nyt kyllä kulli kelpaisi.
This was so great! Although I've never really listened to the language before, after hearing Alex speak I feel like Malaysians pronounce a lot of vowels and consonant sounds the same way we do in American English. When she first spoke, it sounded to me like she was speaking English and just using a lot of words I didn't know. Also, I love the word "penyepit"! It sounds so cute :-}

Shiori, Japanese people have a much easier time pronouncing German corretly than native English speakers. Only l/r is sometmies a problem, though the German r is different to the English one. (source: I had a guy from Yokohama for two years as a class mate in Berlin)
Woahhh :3
SEMANGAT!(FIGHTING)🌻✨
As a German who learned English in school and now learns Japanese on my own I really enjoyed this video and I finally wanna master japanese!! Its such a beautiful language, I especially love Kanji although its a pain to learn them haha 😂
Some of Malaysian call vending machine 'mesin gedegang' 😂
The story about the German word "Pommes" is actually quite funny. French Fries originated in France (or what is the French speaking part of Belgium today to be precise). They called them "pommes frites" with literally means "fried apples", because the French word for potatoes is "pommes de terre" which literally means "ground apples"*. The we Germans took the French "pommes frites" and loaned it to "Pommes Frites", which sounds very similar to the French word, just with a little bit of a German accent. Then the Germans shortened the word to "Pommes", which is pronounced in a very German way as Sarah demonstrated.
So in the end, the German word for "french fries" is just the French word for "apple" pronounced with a thick German accent.
*Sidenote: The German word "Erdäpfel" (also literally "ground apple") is an archaic German word for "potato", so the French are not really alone here.
English, German, French basically came from old Germanic language.
@@Mister_Ri_MFBMT No, french is a romance language which means it originated from latin. But because the large influence of latin both german and anglo-saxon were influenced by latin and then later after the normans conquered the british isles, anglo-saxon and french molded into english. That is why english often has close ties to french although one beeing a germanic and the other beeing a romance language.
@@StAngerNo1 Also, of all the Romance languages French has the most Germanic influences due to the Franks and just proximity. It's still a romance language while English and German are germanic, but close contact in Europe has led to a lot of weird quirks.
Another two funfacts, one that's obvious for german speakers and the other one is regional:
1. There is another German word for French Fries which is "Fritten". I don't know the origin without googling but my guess would just be that it has its origin from the german word "frittieren" which literally means "to fry".
2. In Cologne and the area around it we still use a form of "Erdapfel" (which means, like you said, "ground apple") in "Kölsch", which is the name of the cologne dialect, since we call potatoes "Ädappel" (singular) or "Ädeppel" (plural).
Dont they still say Erdäpfel instead of Kartoffel in Austria?
This video brought me so much joy, please make a part 2!! As someone who is learning 3 of the 4 languages in this video, I was also struggling like Sarah😂

Im glad that Alex said “mi segera” instead of “maggi” 😁
I'm fairly certain she said that in her mind, but went with the 'formal' phrase instead haha...
@@clementj hahaha ikr bcs the first thing that come in my mind is maggi and i was like oh no that’s a brand 😂
X meggi jugak
TBH every instant noodle here is called maggi, even when it isn't. I learnt that the hard way, when my roommate asked if they could have one of my maggi. I don't buy Maggi, only Mi Sedaap (a different brand)... I was confused for so long.
@@CoAi4Ever yeah bcs Malaysian sometimes get used to use some brand name as a daily word not only maggi tho. You can find some of them use ‘Colgate’ that refer to a toothpaste or ‘Pampers’ that refer to a diaper and the list goes on 😂 i used to call like that sometimes 😬
Alex is very clever, i guess she s truly malaysian. Proud of you Alex ! !
In Bahasa Melayu there are two words for love: Sayang and Cinta.
Sayang is used in a broader sense, and used for family members, friends, pets, material possessions etc.
Cinta is often regarded as more intense and specific. Usually reserved for lovers/spouses.
However, the concept of Cinta is also applied for higher love, particularly for your parents (as a unit), country or god. Unusually, we don't say Cinta to our parents, no matter how much you love them. Maybe they did, in the old days, but not today.
She speaks in a default malaysian accent and it's just soothing to the ears ... Hahaha ...
Another way to say vending machine is mesin gedegang because it makes the ge-de-gang! sound when a can drops >
i never heard of "mesin gendengang"
@@kingkong-gm6pp haha well now you know about gedegang 😂
@@fermion890 i feel like that word is a dialect for some state. Where i lived never heard ppl use that word.
@@kingkong-gm6pp Oh? Where do you live then? Well, yes, it differs regionally. Like tikam (to stab) and tikam (to throw).
@@kingkong-gm6pp omg really? Many of friends use mesin gedegang for vending machine. I live in selangor and studied in n9 before. Maybe it is the slang word for people of my age
Japanese girl's English is totally a Malaysian accent yo
Haha yeah noticed that as well. She mentioned that her husband is Malaysian at the beginning of the video when she corrected Bahasa Melayu to Bahasa Jepun
The sound of each language is closer than I think. I am Malaysian btw.

Actually about the Malaysian "Kicap" if I'm not wrong a British traveller goes to southeast Asia to trade sauces and all sort of stuff... So one traveller taste the local Soy sauce or we call them "Kicap" then the British traveller took the sauces at the southeast asia and bring them back home. But the traveller got the name messed up, and that's why British call Tomato Ketchup and Soy sauce, well soy sauce.
Yeaj for soy sauce its either just kicap or sos soya....
@@ashtriana1 tok nenek kita panggil toyu ja hahahaha
In the northern states, we called kicap as tokyu.
You are wrong unfortunately. Ketchup comes from Cantonese word for tomato sauce (juice). Tomato in Cantonese is pronounced as "fun keh"(番茄) fun as in foreign so the "keh" part is the fruit in this phrase. Juice 汁 sound like "chup". Hence you have kehchup. Ketchup honestly don't fit in English it sounded very random for a sauce but it's very catchy and very suitable to make a product marketable. You can see the standardized naming system they have for soy sauce, chilli sauce and others. Why such a random change for tomato sauce? 😂
Soysauce is an oriental condiment, it's most likely that they traded this with China through hongkong harbour. Dont forget hongkong used to be under British colonization. Naming tomato sauce as ketchup means immediate click with the locals. Even the locals who don't study English will know what they are buying.
Yeah British traveller then kinda rensponsibble for some of the words in Malay language such as we say biscuit (biskut) than cookie
You know Alex is a true Malaysian when she uses the word "karat" 😂
Totally😂. Even when it comes to knowledge at school, when you forgot what you are learning, we called it as ‘otak dah berkarat’ 🤣🤣🤣

German sounds a lot "softer" when a native speaker (who uses the language a lot) pronounces it, especially when common speech is used. But then again, when I hear the dialect of my state in the media, it also doesn't sound a bit like it does in my everyday life, because the pronounciation changes extremely when travling just a bit.
yes, they roll the r way to hard
@@Mero90 then you never heard people from the Lausitz. They really rrrroll. The rest doesnt differs from english.
It was fun :D Shiori is so cute, I can't help but I love japanese cutiness
In Malaysia we almost never do Malay translation of any movies. We always keep the original language & title and just put subtitles. Translation maybe for some TV japanese anime.

You can go way less complicated for "Pen" in German and simply say "Stift" :) A "Kugelschreiber" is specifically a ball pen. And the "correct" name for french fries in German would be "Pommes Frites" and that usually is shortened to "Pommes" or "Fritten" :) It comes from the french "Pommes [de terre] frites". And I guess that's enough of being a Klugscheisser for the moment :D
Fun fact. In Northern peninsula Malaysia, soy sauce is sometimes referred to as toyu, which TIL sounds a lot like shouyu
Toyu comes from chinese word, forget from which chinese ethnic
Love the way Sarah speaks in German. It has this strong presence. Also I kinda wish there was a Filipino as well in the mix that would be fun as well. Also “Mekdi” took the spot XD
@@DarioB_ I tried to check after reading your comment and yeah it sounds more tougher.

I could watch this all day long for real. Hope you girls make it a series, it was really fun.

ありがとうございましたMALAYSIA。。Love for Japan ☺
being a German, I'd like to hear things like "adidas", "puma", "BMW", "Mercedes" but also food items like mashed potatoes, squirrel (or squirrel tail), guinea pig, and so on :D
As an English person, Squirrel is the best word for Germans to say- and not just because Germans sound hilarious when saying the English word. Also, the german word being eichhörnchen..."eich" = oak and "hörnchen" = croissant, so squirrel = oak croissant (I know hörnchen doesn't just mean croissant but don't spoil my fun! ☺).
In malay, the brand names is still called that way xcept if they shorten it such as bmw as only bm and mercedes as merc or merz.... Btw squirrel is tupai (too-pie) and squirrel tail is ekor (ay (as in bay) - co with light rnnunciation on the r) tupai..... Guinea pig is tikus mondok (literally traanslated to chubby rat/mouse)
@@ashtriana1 I love the chubby rat, will have to remember that ☺
"Jom pegi McD" love when she say that, the true Malaysian accent 😌.
Indonesian here, and it's very interesting to see some differences with Malay! (Indonesian is mostly based on a variant of Malay)
Like when a dog is barking, in Indonesian it's also "menggonggong", but a dog sound is "guk guk" (with the "u" sounded more similar to English's "oo").
So there is a difference!
I learn Indonesian and always get confused between the two languages (bahasa)
What a fun bunch! XD Greetings from Germany. Sarah was barely rusty at all, really nice.
I wonder what languages will be like in 50 years, as we already use so many loanwords colloquially.
Me, a French girl, learning English, German and Japanese, clicking in this video and going straight into the comment 😂
For Malay Language
Chopsticks: Kayu Penyepit/Penyepit
Spirited Away: Semangat yang Hilang/Hilang Semangat
Cheers: Sorak
Baby Stroller: Kereta Sorong Bayi
"Sorong" and "Dorong" are different. Its hv different meaning.
Sometimes, For general term such as movie/drama title, place name, specific term for things etc are remain the same to avoid confusion for people.
For example:
Bulbasaur = Bulbasaur
Animal Crossing (Cartoon title) = Animal Crossing. In Malay: Haiwan Melintas.
Cheers dalam konteks perbualan mereka bukan Sorak. Betul apa yang Alex maklum itu, walaupun ianya adalah bahasa Cina,yam-seng...
