Hi there,
I am a frequent Malaysia Airlines traveller and on my many journeys to the orient and beyond, i have discovered several things about the awesome language of Bahasa Malay. Here are my 3 points & questions...
1)
Firstly the crew's announcements allways begin with: "pwan pwan dan pwan pwan"
I assume it means ladies & gentleman but the 2 "Pwan Pwan"'s sound identical!! Could someone spell check this for me?
2)
Also "Selamat Detang" and "Terima Kasih" are often heard. I assume these translate to Welcome and Thank You.
3)
Is "Terima Kasih" pronounced "two-ma kass-hi" or "terre-ma kasshi"?

This would help me so much when i return to the beautiful land in December
