Malay to English Other
My freind has this annoying habit of changing his online name to what he says are Indonesia Malayan words and phrases. I know that saya= I, but other than that I am clueless. Last time this service worked great, so I thought I'd come again. Thank you.

I am in love with a great boyfriend/girlfriend/lover

It looks like he doesn´t actually know much Indonesian. (Neither do I, but he even less :-)

di = in
mencintai = love, yes, but it´s the verbal form, so the sentence structure is all wrong. But I am pretty sure that this is a bad translation of "I am in love".

dengan = with
bagus = often thought of as good, but it´s more than that, it´s great, wonderful, excellent. A word much liked by Indonesians.
pacar = boyfriend/girlfriend.

But it should be "pacar bagus", adjective after noun.
