Malay Dictionary Software

A Tool to Learn Bahasa Malaysia Agreeably

Folks serious about learning Malay have to buy kamus. I bought five plus a Malay dictionary software.


There are basically two choices:


1.On one hand we have this brand that sells its products separately i.e. English Malay dictionary for RM99, spell checker RM180, a great combination of spell checker, thesaurus, the latest Kamus Dewan, kamus simpulan bahasa and a set of English encyclopedia for RM250. I have listed them on Malaysian Dictionary


2. On the other hand, we have the ekamus package of spell checker, Kamus Dewan 3rd edition plus English Malay dictionary priced at RM90* for buyers in Malaysia.

*RM250 for buyers outside of Malaysia.


A rakyat biasa like Wan who has to watch her budget can only afford to choose ekamus. After using ekamus for 10 months, I found errors in two entries. There is not iron clad risk free guarantee and I heard from Yusri the vendor, a trial version is on the way.


Apart from the peculiar quality and the nature ekamus is being marketed, this Malay dictionary software still serves me well whenever my workload is heavy. I like the combination of different English Malay and Malay English dictionary to clarify the ambiguity of Kamus Dewan with minimum hassle.


Ekamus has a feature that can help folks, especially non-Malaysians who wonder "how to learn Bahasa Malaysia" effectively. You can command ekamus to display meanings of Malay words in websites and word documents by pointing with the mouse. Actually ekamus is designed to help Malay speakers learn English but this feature is definitely very very helpful for self-motivated new learners.


Some folks may want to use only the free kamus online. It's a matter of personal choice and accessibility of internet to individual learners. Do you need meatier information about Bahasa Malaysia and more convenience in doing references? You can SMS Yusri at ekamus before making a purchase. He's been helpful so far. :)
