Malay: pt 3 Weddings

 The term wedding ceremony in Malay is "majlis perkahwinan" (pronounced: "Maa jeh lis, per-kaa ah-wee-nan".

And it usually means Majlis (wedding) and Perkahwinan (ceremony).

For the word marry, you would say, "Orang Kahwin" (pronounced: oh-raang, keah Winn).

"Taniah" (pronouced: Taan nee-ah) would mean congratulations.

"Jumput makan" (pronouced: Jum put, maa kaan) would mean "come eat" jumput meaning invitation, and makan meaning eat.

Also in malaysia, we have this tradiction called "bunga telur" (pronouced: bung eah, tee lur), meaning flower egg, and yes its as strange as it sounds, it is an egg wraped in a sort of mesh bag and with fake flowers normally and given to the wedding goers.

Grammer ep: 22 Confused words

Accept and except:

Some words in the English language sound the same but have completely different meanings, the words "hear" and "here", are similar sounding, as well as "accept" and "except". 

The word "hear," commonly refers to hearing noises, for example: "I hear a train going long its track", compared to the word "here" which normally means closeness, "I am here at the bus stop".

While the words accept and except have the same sound they too have different meanings:
"I accept the gifts with open arms", and except can be used with or as a substitute for the word but as: "I like this dinner except for the veggies".

There, their, and they're:

There, their and they're, are also very confusing as they sound completely the same, but they have their separate use cases:

You can use there as a locator verb "There is the rabbit that keeps eating my carrots",

their is a possessive objective that can be used as a form of ownership, "It's their toy, don't try and snatch it",

and they're is even more complicated, but it is a shortened form of they are: "They're not home right now so put the mail in the mailbox"

Grammer ep: 22 Affect and Effect

Affect is a verb that means "to impact" or "to influence" "The loud noise affected the golfer's backswing." Effect is a noun that means "result" or "consequence". For example: "The effect was the water was spewing from the fountain"

The effect can also be used as a "result", for example: "The drought had an Effect on Suzie's crops".

And it can be used as: "Her crops were Affected immensely".

Effect is used as a way of saying "change". 

Another example is: "The tax increase affected her monthly income"

Note: Both "effect" and "effect" have other definitions, but these are the ones that people usually mix up.

Interphase

Interphase is a phase in a cell's life that a cell spends most of its life in, there are three phases: G1, S, and G2. 

In the first phase (G1), the cell grows and takes in nutrients. In the second (S) phase, the cell's DNA is replicated. Each replicated chromosome consists of two sister chromatids connected at the centromere. 

When DNA replicates, it copies chromosomes, and when it copies it, it makes two combined chromosomes named "sister chromatids", the place of connection between the sister chromatids is named the centromere, not to be confused with the centrosome.
We call this phase the "S" phase, or synthesis, even though they are two chromatids they are still considered one chromosome.

In the last phase (G2) there's another growth phase, during this phase, the membrane of the cell gets larger and after it reaches its preferred size, the cell is then ready for mitosis.
