Class 3 Verbs (English-Malay) Flashcards
The "ber" prefix verbs, classified into 2 categories: Reflective Verbs (verbs which the subject and object are the same, and where the action ‘reflects back’ on the subject; no other person or party is involved in the act) & Reciprocal Verbs (action performed by two or more people; many show retaliator actions) Some words have the "r" in "ber" dropped, for the sake of euphony
