Its the syallables in Bahasa that are of higher quantity than many other languages i know. For example Hotel in bahasa will be Rumah Penginapan (6 syls).  Arabic is Funduq (2), cina also 2, French 2. Discussion (3) in bahasa is perbincangan (4), Arabic is Muzakarah (4), Cina (2), French dialog (2). Freedom (2), is Kebebasan (4), Arabic (3), Cina (2), French - Liberte (3) Nine (1), Sembilan (3), Tas'a (2), Qiu (1), Neuf (1). Love (1), Kasih-sayang (4), Habba (2), Ai (1), Aime (oneee). Rather challenging for a binary world <-- try translating this in one breath. On 3/20/11 9:50 PM, zarul shahrin wrote: Sure, you can use any language. But we are talking about learning beyond the basic things. I would rather learn in English and spend my time solving problems than busy doing cross references. Perhaps this explains why despite having many IT graduates, the employment rates is still low. Even though there are many vacancies...

If you could show a computer mouse to someone who has never seen one, they would give it a name.  Americans came up with the name "mouse" because they thought it looked like a mouse.  A Malaysian would probably give it a completely different name.   -- Ghodmode http://www.ghodmode.com/blog -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information   MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 and http://portal.mosc.my/ -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information   MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 and http://portal.mosc.my/ -- To unsubscribe from and detail about this group http://portal.mosc.my/osdc-my-mailing-list-information   MOSC2011 http://fb.me/mosc2011 and http://portal.mosc.my/
