Hai, adakah wujudnya tempat untuk melatih kemahiran bertutur dan penulisan dalam BM dengan orang lain (Seperti discord server)?

Saya akan menduduki SPM tahun ini dan saya mahu mengasah penggunaan bahasa Melayu saya dari segi penulisan dan pertuturan. Saya sudah menghantar karangan yang saya tulis kepada cikgu sekolah saya tetapi dia tiada masa untuk kerap balas saya dan menyemak karangan saya. Saya juga pernah menjemput rakan sekelas saya untuk melatih ujian bertutur tetapi mereka segan, selain masalah tiada masa yang selaras untuk melakukan latihan..

Percubaan menterjemah Syair Arab

Saya rujuk syarahan, buat terjemahan sendiri dahulu, kemudian guna chatgpt untuk perbaiki dan buatkan irama. Hanya seronok-seronok.

Falsafah saya dalam menterjemah : cuba menyampaikan jiwa dan perasaan yang diungkapkan dalam bahasa asal kepada bahasa sasaran tanpa terikat penuh kepada bentuk prosa mahupun puisi/syair.

Boleh kongsikan kritikan membina.

Syair asal oleh Zuhair bin Abi Sulma, antara penyair agung zaman Pra-Islam.

Teks Arab 1.أمن أم أوفى دمنة لم تكلم بحومانة الدراج فالمتثلم

2.ديار لها بالرقمتين كأنها مراجع وشم في نواشر معصم

Terjemahan

  1. Inikah sisa puing Ummu Aufa nan sepi,

antara Darraj dan Muthallam ia berdiri?

  1. Atau mungkinkah ini persinggahannya,

terbiar di tengah rantau gersang, Bak cacah hitam di kulit nan terang?

edit : Syairnya lebih panjang, saya cuma kongsikan 2 bait awal. Kalau dapat sambutan, mungkin saya lebih semangat untuk kongsi lebih.

Sharing issen, a conversational language app I've been working on

Hai semua! I’ve been working on this app for the last few months and would love to get people’s thoughts on it. It’s called issen, which is a personal, conversational AI language tutor for intermediate / advanced learners. It remembers who you are and naturally adapts the chats and lessons to your particular learning style and goals.

The idea came from my experience trying to learn French. I’ve spent years at it going through many online tutors. I like the experience of a dedicated teacher a lot, but on top of being expensive and often a bit awkward, I move around a lot, so an in-person teacher is extremely hard for me to manage. I tried a bunch of language learning apps (Babbel, Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, etc.), but none of them really compared to having an actual teacher.

The idea for issen is for it to be that actual conversational teacher, accessible directly from your phone at any time.

You can check out the app at issen.com. Please do let me know what you think, if you have any questions or feedback, or want to talk about language learning in general!

Influences of Arabic and Sanskrit in Malay

I'm an international student studying in Malaysia, and I can speak Arabic, English and Urdu/Hindi. I spent a number of months studying Malay with a tutor, out of my own interest, and I'm always fascinated by the influence Arabic and Sanskrit have had on Malay. Every so often I come across a new Malay word, and often I can see the connection if it has come from Arabic or Sanskrit.

I have read about the origins of the influence, so I do have some general knowledge about that.

I also use wiktionary a lot to search up word origins, and find it quite useful. Just thought of sharing that here.

Apa terjemahan bagi 'sophistry'?

Sophistry in english - tricking someone by making a seemingly clever argument, like a philosopher who argues that up is down and somehow convinces you. If you accuse someone of sophistry, you mean they’ll lie to make a point.

Nak kata 'palatao' macam tak masuk.

Jadi aku nak cadangkan 'katarka', kata pinjaman dari sanskrit. Dengan 'katarkawan' merujuk kepada pelaku sophistry ni.

Nak pakai bahasa arab ada 2 aku jumpa - سفسطة, dan المغلطة. Safsatah / سفسطة aku tak pasti sebab macam ada pakai dalam bab undang-undang. Kalau المغلطة pulak dibuangkan ال (tanda kata nama) dan م (tanda pelaku) akan dapat غلطة / gulatah atau geletah. Aku tak pasti pasal gulatah, tapi geletah macam ada dalam loghat kelantan, yang bawa maksud gedik.

Apa pendapat korang?

Sendirian

Tentu sahaja engkau tidak menyedari,
Betapa remuknya jiwa yang terkhianati,
Ketika engkau dengan mudahnya mengungkap perpisahan,
dipadam namaku dari ingatan.

Engkau salahkan takdir.
Engkau katakan sudah ketentuan cinta kita akan berakhir.

Hampir saja jantung ini mati, kering darah membisu nadi,
Engkau pun tanpa segan silunya, jalani harimu seperti biasa,

Membiarkan saya,
Membiarkan saya,
Dalam suatu kegelapan, terkapai-kapai tanpa pengharapan.
Asaku punah, citaku musnah, hajatku diludah.

Sendirian saya, ditemani air mata.
Sendirian saya, menghinakan diri saya,
Sendirian saya, meminta dicabutkan nyawa.
Sendirian juga saya, mengumpulkan kembali kekuatan jiwa.

Suatu / sesuatu?

Yang mana satu betul?

  1. Kebaikan dan keburukan sesuatu perkara..
  2. Kebaikan dan keburukan suatu perkara..

Penggunaan kalau dilihat dari hasil carian Google macam sama banyak digunakan.

Terima kasih

Know any particularly good Bahasa Melayu stories?

As someone who accidentally learned English by watching and reading a lot of stories and media, I've for a long time come to the realisation that I'm a lot more familiar with English media than my native Bahasa Melayu's own media. It's to the point where I don't even know what a language learner who isn't living in Malaysia/doesn't have a relationship with a native speaker would gain from the ability. Yeah, there's like a few good films, but outside of that ??? I don't think I could get an actual answer if I asked 10 people on the street what the most popular Bahasa Melayu fiction book is (KOMSAS not included).

I'm sure it's due to lack of exposure, and I would love to hear people prove me wrong. One thing I'm especially looking out for is something that's so good that someone could actually make it a reason to learn Bahasa. Please tell me all of your recommendations!

EDIT: Thank you all so much for the responses so far! I'll definitely be keeping these in mind next time I stop by a bookstore.
