Dengan lirik With lyrics

Kita harus buat dua kelas ganti bagi kelas tutorial pada minggu keempat kerana hari Isnin cuti

Read:

I want to read your paper.

Can I have a read of your paper?

Scroll

A scroll was conferred to him.

I can’t scroll up or down because the mouse is faulty.

What is the difference in these two sentences

A. Ada banyak pokok tinggi di Fakulti Kejuruteraan

B. Ada banyak pokok yang tinggi di Fakulti Kejuruteraan

A informs that all the  trees at the Eng. faculty are tall.

B identifies some of the tall trees at the Eng. faculty.

What is the difference between Hanya sedikit and Sedikit sahaja

Hanya sedikit = just a little

sedikit sahaja = a little only

A. Wang saya hanya sedikit  vs. B.  Wang saya sedikit sahaja

      My money is just a little     vs.      My money is  a little only

Both are interchangeable

However the popular usage found in the media is to double emphasize by using both hanya and sahaja

Hanya sedikit sahaja (which is redundant yet typical in a polite culture of emphasizing extensively)

Acceptable in oral; please keep to either hanya sedikit or sedikit sahaja in written.

terima kasih

Kita telah belajar banyak perkara pada hari Selasa:

“Siapa nama awak?”

“Hanya sedikit”

“Sedikit sahaja”

Ami, banyakkah wang anda di dalam bank?

Tidak, hanya sedikit.

Ibu, berapakah garam untuk kari ayam ini?

Oh bubuh (put) sedikit sahaja sudah cukup (enough).

The following is the lyric ready made, I apologize for some of the images but hope to make use of the wording and acoustic quality:
