[Luqman6448]

isn't older brother abang?

[Rick392366]

Yes.

[Chin310580]

Correct answer should be "Abang says adalah seorang tukang daging

[Bev425285]

Do you need seorang? Isnt tukang daging enough?

[Y4M91]

seorang is a classifier. add it before the noun. other common classifiers include
buah --> big objects
biji --> small objects
helai --> thin objects (leaf)
ekor --> animals
at least that's for bm

se means 1. so if there are 2 people, it will be dua orang pelajar (for instance)

think of it like liang4ci2 in Chinese

[dan.yen]

Why kakak????

[suzanecarmen]

why abang is not acceptable?

[Bev425285]

So is seorang necessary? You wouldn't say I have seorang anak?
