Khun Benjawan and her husband, Nicholas, were such kind and gracious hosts around San Francisco on the day we met up last week. I don’t get any kickbacks for promoting her books, I promise! They are really good especially for self-directed learning in your own time, but you do need to put in the effort. For a more hands-on browsing experience in KL, I’ve come across them in KLCC’s Kinokuniya and MidValley Megamall’s MPH. Probably best to get it online – it’s stocked by Amazon or you could get it directly from Paiboon Publishing’s website. I would certainly recommend it to fellow Malaysians. Anyone who is serious about learning Thai would know of her books, which I think have been instrumental over the last decade in making Thai language learning more accessible to the masses. I took the opportunity to meet up with Khun Benjawan Becker, who is the author of Paiboon Publishing’s Thai language book series. I just had to, I was quite close to getting disowned as family!
#Mencari maksud perkataan dalam kamus dewan free
Given my imminent relocation to southeast Asia, and with the free time that’s available, it was a good time to visit if there ever was one.
I was recently in California visiting a cousin to whom I had promised a visit over the the last ten years. Menurut Kamus Dewan Edisi Keempat, senggara bermaksud mengurus, mengendalikan atau menyelenggarakan. Perkataan selenggara berasal daripada senggara yang telah ditambah dengan sisipan 'el'. The context of the sentence would make it fairly obvious at most times to whom it refers to. Adakah terdapat perbezaan makna bagi perkataan senggara dan selenggara. It’s somewhat too ‘cute’ to be used a personal pronoun after that.įinally, dropping the pronouns entirely, too, isn’t all that uncommon. The last time I used it was when I was about 12 though. Going back to comparing Thai and Malay, it’s also easy to relate to how Thais use the word เรา (we/us) as we do this as well – ‘kita’. There are now few people apart from those I have already known from school/university days that I would address myself as ‘aku’ naturally. It’s not overly polite nor does it come across as too stiff – it’s just right. I would argue that for a well-intentioned foreigner who would want to learn Malay in order to get access to certain functions of the state (for example routinely conversing with government staff at the various public departments for form-filling matters and such) it would be highly inappropriate and counterproductive to use ‘aku’.’ Saya’ would be perfect. You wouldn’t teach a foreigner to refer themselves as ‘aku’, would you? Perhaps some would, I dunno, teenagers with their penpals internet chat friends of the same age perhaps, but certainly, in a more civil and polite society, to have a foreigner use ‘aku’ word would be frowned upon, if not objectionable. The Thai กู (‘kuu’) and the Malay ‘Aku’ are not really rude, but they are certainly crude, informal and unrefined. This is my take on it – it’s very similar to the usage of ‘saya’ and ‘aku’. I hear guys use กู much more frequently than is suggested by the language books. I play it safe and use ผม, and wouldn’t naturally be able or would want to use the cruder กู. A while back there was a conversation which discussed the appropriate use of pronoun used to describe one’s self. One of the websites that I visit from time to time is Catherine’s excellent (which she has very nicely said can be used by men too )). Ia masih di dalam cetakan pertama, tahun 2008. Kamus ini adalah hasil kerjasama Dewan Bahasa Pustaka dan Universiti Prince of Songhkla serta Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris.
Harga kamus setebal 428 mukasurat ini ialah RM40, tetapi selalunya Dawama akan memberi diskaun 10%. Pada peringkat ini kita seharusnya sudah boleh membaca huruf Thai. Walau apapun, ia juga masih sesuai untuk kita yang berbahasa ibunda Melayu, yang mempelajari bahasa Thai di peringkat pertengahan.
Secara jujur, saya berpendapat kamus ini lebih mudah bagi orang Thai yang mula mempelajari bahasa Melayu berbanding orang Melayu yang ingin mempelajari bahasa Thai. Sebagai contoh yang di atas, perkataan Thai “พูด” bermakna bercakap atau berkata. Namun, yang ketara ialah kebolehan membaca Thai itu perlu untuk menggunakan kamus ini, kerana susunan entri kesemuanya adalah menggunakan abjad Thai, bermakna pengguna perlu tahu sesebuah perkataan Thai itu untuk mencari makna di dalam bahasa Melayu.
