   I didn't realize that Malaysia is also called 大吗。 Definitely feels easier than 马来西亚。

     Sorry for correcting, but it is 大马 instead of 大吗.

     @EllenInEdmonton @filburutto Haha I get ya. I typed 吗 forgetting that it is the character one uses at the end of the question. While 马 (horse) makes more sense as the character to describe Malaysia. The character is "sound" translation of the "Ma" in Malaysia. This exchange will help me remember the character better 😄

     @liztai @filburutto
     I only know: 大 Dai/big
     One of the few characters I can recognize because it's relatively simple and distinctive.

     @EllenInEdmonton @filburutto the word doesn't have a meaning really but I suppose its much easier to say that 马来西亚。
