If you are meeting someone for the first time, you can introduce yourself by saying "Nama saya [your name]" (pronounced nah-mah sah-yah [your name]). You can also ask how someone is doing by saying "Apa khabar?" (pronounced ah-pah kah-bar).
Here are some other common Malay greetings:
* Assalamualaikum (pronounced ah-sah-lam-muh-ah-lai-kum): This is the Islamic greeting, which means "peace be upon you".
* Terima kasih (pronounced teh-ree-mah kah-sih): This means "thank you".
* Sama-sama (pronounced sah-mah-sah-mah): This means "you're welcome".
* Selamat jalan (pronounced suh-lah-mat jah-lahn): This means "goodbye".
