There are two interesting words which I would like to share with Malay language enthusiasts. These are 'memerun' and 'menogelkan'.
The word 'memerun' means 'to burn dry leaves'. An example would be:
Ali memerun daun kering yang dikumpulkannya di luar rumahnya. [Ali burned the dry leaves which he had gathered outside his house's compound.]
As for 'menogelkan;, it means 'to cut off the tails of animals such as cats and dogs.
You can make a sentence such as the following with this word:
Budak lelaki yang nakal itu menogelkan ekor kucing yang dibencinya itu. [The naughty boy severed the tail of the cat which he hated.]
So much for two interesting words in Bahasa Melayu or Malay.
