Kami boleh berunding tentang harga minta itu.

Kami means we, but it is the exclusive form: it does not include the person being spoken to.

Malay has two common words for we:

• kami = we, but not you
• kita = we, including you

So in this sentence, kami tells you the speaker means our side / our group can negotiate, but the listener is not part of that we.

Boleh usually means can, may, be able to, or sometimes be allowed to.

In this sentence, it most naturally means something like:

• can
• are able to
• it is possible to

So kami boleh berunding... means that negotiation is possible or acceptable.

In everyday Malay, boleh is very common and very flexible.

The basic root is unding, which is connected with discussion or negotiation. In normal usage, you usually see it with a prefix.

Here, ber- makes berunding, which means to negotiate, to discuss together, or to confer.

So:

• berunding = engage in negotiation/discussion

You normally would not use bare unding by itself in ordinary modern sentences.

The prefix ber- often forms verbs that mean to do an action, to be engaged in something, or to have/use something, depending on the word.

In berunding, it gives the sense of engaging in negotiation/discussion.

Compare:

• berunding = to negotiate / confer
• merundingkan = to negotiate something specifically

So:

• Kami boleh berunding tentang harga itu = We can negotiate about that price
• Kami boleh merundingkan harga itu = We can negotiate that price

Both are possible, but they are structured a little differently.

Tentang is a preposition meaning about, regarding, or concerning.

So berunding tentang harga minta itu means negotiating about/regarding that asking price.

It links the verb berunding to the topic being discussed.

Yes, literally it looks something like ask price or requested price, but as a fixed expression it means asking price.

So:

• harga = price
• minta = ask / request
• harga minta = asking price

This is especially understandable in sales, bargaining, or property contexts.

To an English speaker, it may feel strange because English uses asking price, while Malay puts the words together in its own way.

Yes, harga yang diminta also works, and in many cases it may sound clearer to learners.

Malay often allows shorter, compact expressions without yang, especially in established phrases.

So you may see:

• harga minta = a compact phrase meaning asking price
• harga yang diminta = literally the price that is being asked/requested

Both can refer to the asking price, but harga minta feels more like a set term, while harga yang diminta is more transparent grammatically.

In Malay, demonstratives like ini and itu normally come after the noun, not before it.

So:

• rumah itu = that house
• harga itu = that price
• harga minta itu = that asking price

This is very normal Malay word order.

English says that price, but Malay says price that.

The structure is:

• Kami = subject
• boleh = modal
• berunding = main verb
• tentang harga minta itu = prepositional phrase

So the pattern is basically:

Subject + modal + verb + prepositional phrase

Malay does not need an English-style to after modal words like can.

So:

• can negotiate
• boleh berunding

not something like boleh untuk berunding in normal straightforward usage.

Not specifically. Malay verbs do not change form for tense the way English verbs do.

So Kami boleh berunding tentang harga minta itu could mean:

• We can negotiate about that asking price now
• We can negotiate about that asking price later

The time usually comes from context, or from extra words such as:

• sekarang = now
• nanti = later
• esok = tomorrow

Malay often leaves tense unstated unless it matters.

It is understandable, and harga minta is a real expression. Still, some speakers might prefer slightly different wording depending on context.

Common alternatives include:

• Kami boleh berunding tentang harga yang diminta itu.
• Kami boleh berunding tentang harga itu.
• Harga itu masih boleh dirunding.

These alternatives may sound a bit smoother or more natural in some situations, especially if you want to make the phrase asking price more explicit.

So the original sentence is workable, but it is not the only natural way to say it.
