Embarazado and Embarrassed - An Interesting False Friend 

They say that fortune favors the bold, but I am apt to think that fortune favors those who are hardworking even more. Therefore I have included this quality of diligence for this episode. 

Are you hardworking? Yes, I think you are because you have taken effort to learn Malay online by listening to this Uplifting and Inspirational Podcast Series.

We shall make sentences with the Malay word for hardworking and go through the different sentence variations.  

Joy to Our World

I am hardworking!

 The football match was definitely rigged. I don't think the football players were playing in their usual way today. 

The competition to win a holiday in the local newspaper has been won by an employee of that newspaper. That was definitely rigged.
