About wording Malay terms

• A basic Malay word has two syllables such as tulen, asas, mula, batal, kawal, padam and tamat. A good term uses a basic word.
• It is very easy to add prefixes and suffixes to a Malay word to enrich it with attributes. Prefixes and suffixes will make a Malay word less intelligible. Never use a Malay word with a prefix AND a suffix for a term because it is doubly less intelligible. However, a basic word term can be appended with prefixes and suffixes when it is a part of a sentence or a phrase. Prefixes and suffixes will only make sense to a word when it is used in a sentence or a phrase, but not in a standalone term.
• A term must be solidly single word. Never use more than one word for a term. If a term has to be made from more then one word then merge the words to create a portmanteau word such as tadika for 'taman didikan kanak-kanak', tabika for 'taman bimbingan kanak-kanak' or kugiran for 'kumpulan gitar rancak'.
• If an English term is already got into the Malay culture such as 'keyboard', 'mouse' and 'handphone' then malaynizing it will not hurt such as kibod, maus and hanfon. We are already used to the word gudang which is from the English word godown.
