Tips
1. Dekat/Kat = Di
You may have learned the preposition di. It used to indicate a fixed, unchanging location. Dekat and kat are more frequently used in daily conversational Malay.
2. Sekejap/Kejap = One second/minute/moment
There is a more formal form of the word sekejap, which is sebentar.
You can use sekejap or kejap just on its own. Kejap! = One moment!
3. Ada hal (penting) = There’s something (important) (to discuss)
Ada hal literally means to have (a) matter. While the direct translation does not really make sense, we say this a lot when we have something to do/tell/discuss. You can add penting to the phrase as well.
Jumpa nanti, boleh? Saya ada hal sekarang. – Can we meet later? I have something (to do) now.
Datang cepat. Ada hal penting nak bagitahu. – Come quick. I have something important (to tell you).
