For speaking to people using Encik or cik (pronounced: en-cheek, and cheek. You should cut off the word cheek and cut the word short)
Meaning "Mr"" or "Ms", for addressing strangers.
If they are asking what you are looking for, you can say Saya tengok tengok je (pronounced: teng-oak teng-ock, jeeh), tengok meaning "look" and Je being a shortened version of Sahajeh meaning "only".
Let's say you want to ask where the toothpaste is, you could say Mana ubat gigi? (pronounced: Ma-na, u-baat, gee-gee) ubat meaning "medicine", and gigi meaning "teeth".
When you ask for things you can say Ada ubat gigi tak? (pronounced: A-da, u-baat, gi-gi, taak?), which translates to "Do you have toothpaste?". In this case, tak which commonly means "no", is used in the form of a question, the task at the end helps, with the understanding that you are asking a question that needs answering.
