Today, we will learn about day, week and month in Malay Language. I guess today’s lesson will be a short and simple one.
DAYS
Let’s start with the days. In Malay, day is called as ‘hari’.
First and foremost, the name of the days in Malay resemble a lot of those in Arabic. For those who are familiar with Arabic language will be able to memorize this with little challenge.
Ahad - Sunday
Isnin - Monday
Selasa - Tuesday
Rabu - Wednesday
Khamis - Thursday
Jumaat - Friday
Sabtu - Saturday
Hari-hari - Every day
Setiap hari - Every day
Beberapa hari - A few days
Hari minggu - Sunday
Setiap hari Ahad - Every sunday
Examples:
Hari ini hari Ahad. - Today is Sunday
Hari ini hari apa?- What day is today?
Bila harijadi kamu? - When is your birthday?
Bila hari cuti kamu? - When is your holiday?
WEEKS
In Malay, week is called as ‘minggu’. We don’t really have a spesific name of each week but these phrases may come in handy.
Minggu-minggu - weeks
Beberapa minggu - a few weeks
Minggu pertama - First week
Minggu kedua - Second week
Minggu ketiga - Third week
Minggu keempat - fourth week
Minggu paling awal - the earliest week
Minggu paling akhir - the final week
Minggu lepas - last week
Minggu depan - next week
Hujung minggu - weekend
Examples:
Minggu ini saya sangat sibuk. - This week I am very busy.
Saya akan pergi ke Singapura minggu depan. - I will go to Singapore next week.
Minggu paling akhir bulan ini adalah minggu melawat Malaysia. - The final week of this month is Visit Malaysia’s week.
Adakah kamu akan berhenti kerja pada minggu kedua bulan ini? - Are you going to quit working at the second week of this month?
MONTHS
In Malay, month is called as ‘bulan’. Bulan also has another meaning which is moon in English.
There is not much difference of the name of the months in Malay Language against English Language except for a few differences in spelling them
Januari - January
Februari - February
Mac - March
April - April
Mei - May
Jun - June
Julai - July
Ogos - August
September - September
Oktober - October
November - November
Disember - December
Examples:

Saya akan berkahwin pada bulan Disember - I will get married on December.
Bulan terawal adalah bulan Januari - The earliest month is January.
Bulan lepas saya berhenti kerja. - I quit working last month.
