在马来西亚，华语不仅是沟通的工具，更是文化的载体。资深语言学者王晓梅近日在接受中新社记者专访时，深入探讨了马来西亚华语特有词语的文化意涵。
王晓梅表示，马来西亚华语特有词语是马来西亚华人在长期的生活、工作、学习实践中创造的，既有中华文化的传统元素，也有马来西亚本土的特色。这些词语反映了马来西亚华人的生活状态、价值观念以及文化认同。
她举例说，”boleh”（可以）和”tak boleh”（不可以）这两个词语在马来语中非常重要，马来西亚华语中也借鉴了这两个词语，分别用”可以”和”不可以”来表达。这不仅体现了马来西亚华语的包容性，也展示了马来西亚华人与当地马来人和谐共处的生活方式。
此外，马来西亚华语特有词语中还有很多与食物相关的词汇，如”roti canai”（印度烤饼）和”nasi lemak”（椰香饭）等。这些词语反映了马来西亚华人对美食的热爱，以及马来西亚华人与其他种族的文化交流。
王晓梅指出，研究马来西亚华语特有词语的文化意涵，有助于我们更好地理解马来西亚华人的文化身份认同，也有助于我们深入研究马来西亚华人社会的历史、文化和语言。

In Malaysia, Chinese is not only a means of communication but also a carrier of culture. Senior linguist Wang Xiaomei recently discussed the cultural significance of unique Chinese terms in Malaysia in an exclusive interview with China News Service.
Wang Xiaomei explained that these unique Chinese terms in Malaysia were created by the Chinese community in the country through long-term daily life, work, and study practices. They embody traditional elements of Chinese culture as well as characteristics of Malaysia’s local culture. These terms reflect the life status, values, and cultural identity of the Chinese community in Malaysia.
She gave the example of the words “boleh” (can) and “tak boleh” (cannot) which are very important in Malay and have been borrowed by Malaysian Chinese, expressing “can” and “cannot” respectively. This demonstrates the inclusiveness of Malaysian Chinese and shows the harmonious coexistence of the Chinese community and the Malay community in Malaysia.
Furthermore, many terms related to food are found in Malaysian Chinese unique terms, such as “roti canai” (Indian bread) and “nasi lemak” (coconut rice). These terms reflect the Malaysian Chinese’s love for food and the cultural exchanges between the Malaysian Chinese and other races.
Wang Xiaomei pointed out that studying the cultural significance of unique Chinese terms in Malaysia can help us better understand the cultural identity of the Malaysian Chinese and深入研究马来西亚华人社会的历史、文化和语言。
