look... I'll give it another try... saya pergi = I go anda pergi = You go mereka pergi = they go but! dia pergi = She goes (see? we added -es) oh God, it seems that Malay language doesn't distinguish between the words "he, she, it". well... now it's getting complicated to explain =)) dia pergi = She goes (a female) He goes (a male) it goes (some entity... that neither feminine or masculine... or animal... hmm.. also things like house, floor, door, bottle...etc .. though there are some exceptions...I don't know how to explain it better)) dia berjalan = she runs /he runs/it runs it's hard to understand, because you don't have this in your native language... I'll try to make up some more examples... gadis berjalan = girl runs ( SHE runs) budak berjalan = boy runs ( HE runs) anjing berjalan = dog runs (IT runs) but: anda berjalan - you run kita berjalan - they run In Malay the verbs stay the same in all cases, but it's different in English. If something is wrong with the Malay examples....hmm.. today is the first time I've ever seen a Malay word. I dug into the language basics in order to find an explanation for you.

Present indefinite : When you're talking about third person... you should add s ... He, She, It "verb"+s (or -es) there are rules for it. he makes she sings it (September) ends I sing, but she sings. I wash, but he washes. I cry, but it cries. I do, but he does. They watch, but she watches. You hope, but she hopes.

There is an "s" at the end of regular verbs (sometimes "es") to indicate third-person singular.

those are actually two different kinds of "s" there is the plural "s" as in "two books" then there is the possessive "s" as in "that is Jill's book" both of these are added to nouns VERBS have a present tense {-s} (which can also be spelled "es" as someone mentioned) this is only used for the present tense 3rd person (he/she/it) as in: he runs, she runs, it runs or he dances, she dances, it dances.

that "s" at the ends( haha) sometimes means something in plural and offcourse not in singular hope i helped u
