Non-PRO English to Malay Other
I want to know the translation of sensitive as it pertains to peoples emotions on how they take things. An example of it in a sentence would be, "I am a sensitive person."
Proposed translations (Malay)
5 +2 1) sensitif 2) peka

Proposed translations

Selected

1) sensitif 2) peka

per your example "I am a sensitive person.":

1) "Saya seorang yang sensitif."

2) "Saya seorang yang peka."

you did not elaborate, but 'being sensitive' can have the connotation of either 'being perceptive' or 'being easily offended'.

if you want to express the latter, use #1) 'sensitif' .
