A Manual of the Malay language / With an Introductory Sketch of the Sanskrit Element in Malay

by Sir William Edward Maxwell

I will give bail for any amount— Bĕr-apa bĕrat sakali-pun hamba tuan bĕrani tanggong.

Is this a man of property?— Orang ber-harta-kah ini?

One surety is not enough; there must be two at least— Sa’orang aku ta’jadi sa-korang-korang mahu-lah dua orang.

Sign at this place— Di-sini-lah turun tanda tangan.

Do you know how to write?— Tahu-kah menyurat?

If you cannot write, make a mark— Jikalau ta’tahu menyurat buat-lah goris tanda tangan.

That will do; you can go now— Suda-lah, pulang-lah dahulu.

What do you call this in Malay?— Bahasa Malayu apa kata ini?

He has done it in the English fashion— Dia sudah buat chara Inggris.

Speak loud, and let people hear you— Chakap kuat-kuat sapaya buleh orang men-dengar.
