After learning the Imbuhan Awalan beR and Imbuhan Awalan teR, we are now going to tackle or learn the Imbuhan meN which is a little bit more complicated since there are many variations including me, mem, men, meng, menge. It is very important knowledge to teach the child when to use each variation for example you use mem for root words starting with b, f and p. Sometimes you have to change the first vowel as well when you add in the Imbuhan meN.
As before, lets learn the Imbuhan Awalan meN in 3 steps:
Read up on the rules of when to use me, mem, men, meng and menge and the meaning of words when you attach these affixes
View some examples of the usage of Imbuhan meN
Practise using the Imbuhan Awalan meN
Here are the resources to do the above 3 steps:
Read up on when to use me, mem, men, meng and menge. There's even a song for learning the Imbuhan Awalan meN. I don't know how to sing the song. Its supposed to be sung to the tune of the two tigers song but I can't get it to sync. Anyway, here are the lyrics to the meN song. You can always make up your own tune. Anything to help your child have fun learning and to help them remember. There is quite a lot to remember.
Note: I prepared this as Lesson Plans for my Primary 2 child. These are suitable for lower Primary 1-3 Students, however older students may find these useful as a reminder.
Note: In the Malay Language "Imbuhan Awalan" is the affixing of affixes (Imbuhan Awalan) onto a root word (Kata Dasar). "Imbuhan Akhiran" are called Suffixes.
I have prepared this for teaching my 8 year old who is doing the KSSR Primary 2 this year so I have picked resources which are simple and easy to understand. My Primary 4 girl learns some new things from this too.
Both my kids who are in primary school sometimes have a hard time understanding the concept of imbuhan when learning Bahasa Malaysia. I am rather confused by it too at times. This makes it hard for me to teach them.
Today, I decided to tackle the Imbuhan problem by searching for online help. There are many sites explaining about the proper or correct use of imbuhan. However, I find most of them complicated and more for secondary school learners.
It is too hard to tackle all of the imbuhan all at once. So, I am going to start with the easiest which is Imbuhan Awalan beR and I am going to tailor it for Primary School learners. Please note that these resources are not created me. I found them online.
I found some gems when I was searching online for resources and I am going to share them with you now.
Here are some resources you can use to teach your primary school child the imbuhan awalan ber.
To teach your child when to use the imbuhan be, bel and ber, you can use this explanation on bentuk awalan beR. There are two parts on this page. I used the "Bentuk Awalan beR" to explain to my child when to use be, bel or ber. I skipped the part on "Makna Awalan beR" because I think it is too complicated for him at this stage.
Finally, it is time for some practise. Here is an excellent resource for Imbuhan Practise for Primary School. You will find many imbuhan practise but for the purpose of this post, go straight to Imbuhan Ber. There are two sets of practise papers for Imbuhan beR with 15 questions each. It has colorful cartoons too. You may choose to practise by pdf download, slideshow (as embedded below) or by using a printable worksheet without color. At the end of the list you will also find a short and sweet slideshow on Imbuhan beR for P2 and P3 students (as embedded at the top of this post).
There you go. The mystery of Imbuhan beR demystified. At last, I understand it myself. I hope that by putting it together like this, it will help other Primary School parents who are helping their child with their studies themselves without tuition.
Note: I have purposely picked these resources because of its simplicity for lower Primary Students. My kids are in Primary 2 and Primary 4. It is suitable for my Primary 2 child although it benefits my Primary 4 girl as well.
