For saying "I am" you say Nama Saya (produced: na-me, sai-ye) so in a sentence you woul say: "nama saya ___" Then you fill in that blank with your name.
For introducing friends you can say: Nama kawan saya, Adam (pronounced: kaa waan), translated it would be: "My friend's name is, Adam".
For age, you say: Umur (pronounced: uu mur), so if used in a sentence it would be: saya umur tiga lima puluh tahun. (produced: ta huun), or translated to "I am 35 years old"
To say "from" you would say: Saya datang dari Kuala Lumpur (pronounced; Da ta-ang,
da-ri), and means "from", so in a sentence you would say: Saya orang itali tapi saya datang dari UK, this would translate to "I am from Italy but I come from the UK (tapi is pronounced: taa pee and means "but" and orang pronounced: oh-raang is "people").
Aku (pronounced: aa ku) is another way of saying saya but, it may come off as rude or impolite so I personally prefer saya.
