The word "PUNYA" in Malay is quite versatile and can be used in various ways. There are:
Assalamualaikum dan Hai semua.
Apa khabar?
Just a few days left of the year 2023, however, it is not an excuse to be lazy!
Push yourself a little bit more = Sikit lagi
Jangan malas! = Don't be lazy!
Rajinlah sikit! = Be hardworking a bit!
And today, our last sprint of the year..let's study the word
punya
punya
Punya is a posessive particle and it could mean whose,mine, possess, belongs to, to own
and in Malay, there are synonyms for Punya
They are: Ada or milik
Are they interchangeable? It depends on the construction of the sentence.
Let's look at some example so you could comprehend the usage of Punya in a Malay sentence better.
The first example is:
Ini siapa punya?
or
Siapa punya ini?
It means whose is this?
Ini means this
and siapa punya means whose
as this channel teaches you spoken Malay, for this point on, only spoken Malay sentences will be given as examples.
As we know that, ini can be shortened as 'ni'
so naturally, the previous sentences could be said as
Ni siapa punya?
or
Siapa punya ni?
which means
Whose is this?
Using ni is useful when you don't know the name of the object or things that you want to ask
If you know the name of the object, as this example
Pensel ni siapa punya?
or
Siapa punya pensel ni?
Even if the phrase pensel ni appeared first in the sentence or comes at the end of the sentence, it did not affect the meaning of the sentence at all which is - who is the owner of the pencil.
So you can use both of these patterns to ask for the owner of an object or things.
To ask for confirmation if someone is the owner of a thing, we may ask like so
Pensel ni awak punya ke?
or
Awak punya ke pensel ni?
which means
Is this pencil yours?
Does this pencil belong to you?
If the reply is positive, you may use any of the followings example as an answer.
Ya, pensel ni saya punya.
or
Ya, saya punya.
or simply
Ya.
However, if the reply is negative
you could reply like so
Tak, pensel ni bukan saya punya.
Bukan, pensel ni bukan saya punya.
No, this pencil is not mine.
or a few more ways to reply negatively
Pensel ni bukan saya punya.
Bukan saya punya.
or simply with either
Bukan / Tak.
bukan or tak both means No
However, for the detail explanation of their usages, please watch the video above or from the link in the description.
