One of my passions is learning other languages since I was small. I started to love pick up some words whenever I watch movies or dramas in other languages. I've learnt Arabic for 3 years when I studied in Arabic school, I've learnt Thai from one of my neighbours in Kubang Kerian, Kelantan, Hindi from watching too many Hindi movies (with the subtitles but after a while I can even understand without the subtitle), a little bit Spanish and Tagalog from watching soap operas from those countries.
When I was in NZ for 3 1/2 years, I've learnt some words in Maori too as the language share some similarities with Bahasa Melayu. I make sure at least I know some basic words that I can use daily. From time to time, I love to learn more languages as we wouldn't know when do we might need to use them.
So, in this entry, I would like to share how to count from 1- 10 in different languages:
| No. | Arabic | Thai | Spanish | French | Maori |
| 1 | wahid | neng | uno | un | tahi |
| 2 | isnain | song | dos | deux | rua |
| 3 | salasah | sam | tres | trois | toru |
| 4 | arbaah | si' | qustro | quatre | wha |
| 5 | khomsah | ha | sinco | cinq | rima |
| 6 | sittah | hok | seis | si | ono |
| 7 | sab'aah | chet | seite | sept | whitu |
| 8 | samaniyah | pet | ocho | huit | waru |
| 9 | tis'aah | kau | nuev | neuf | iema |
| 10 | 'asyarah | sip | diez | dix | tekau |
Notice that Spanish and French share a lot of similarities. Even BM and Maori share some common words as the originality of both languages come from the same root. I know that those who are reading this entry have more knowledge in other languages as well. I would love to hear what are the languages that you know and maybe why you love to learn those languages.
If you ask me why do I love to learn different languages, my answer is simple. I love to hear the different pronunciations and also learn different grammatical rules. In short, my hubby is a scientist who loves to deal with bacterias but I love to dissect languages and do experiments using different languages.
