Review Summary

  • Standard Verb -> Royal Equivalent

よくある間違い

Using 'Saya' and 'makan' is too informal and disrespectful when addressing royalty.

Wrong: Saya hendak makan bersama Tuanku.
正解: Patik ingin santap bersama Tuanku.

The word 'mati' is never used for royalty; 'mangkat' is the mandatory term for the passing of a monarch.

Wrong: Sultan itu sudah mati.
正解: Sultan itu telah mangkat.

A commoner should never use 'Beta' to refer to themselves; 'Beta' is strictly for the Sultan's use.

Wrong: Beta mahu pergi ke sekolah.
正解: Saya mahu pergi ke sekolah.
