In Malay, prepositions are called "kata depan" and they are used to show the relationship between two nouns or pronouns in a sentence. Here are some examples of commonly used prepositions in Malay:
- di (at, in, on)
- ke (to, towards)
- dari (from)
- dengan (with)
- atas (above, on top of)
- bawah (below, under)
- sebelah (beside, next to)
- antara (between)
- sejak (since)
- untuk (for)
It's important to note that prepositions in Malay are often used differently from prepositions in English, so it's best to learn them in context and practice their usage in sentences.
