Dia berpeluh selepas rali itu.

Yes. Dia can mean he or she. Malay pronouns usually do not mark gender the way English does.

So in this sentence, dia could refer to:

• a man
• a woman
• sometimes even a child, depending on context

You usually know which one is meant from the wider situation, not from the word dia itself.

Berpeluh means to sweat or to be sweaty / perspiring.

It describes someone producing sweat. In natural English, it is often translated as:

• was sweating
• sweated
• got sweaty

The exact English wording depends on context, because Malay does not mark tense in the same way English does.

Peluh is the noun sweat.

When Malay adds the prefix ber-, it often forms an intransitive verb meaning something like:

• to have
• to wear
• to do
• to be in a state of

So:

• peluh = sweat
• berpeluh = to sweat / to be sweating

This is a very common pattern in Malay. The prefix ber- often turns a base word into a verb that describes a state or action.

Selepas means after.

In this sentence, it introduces a time phrase:

• selepas rali itu = after that rally

So the structure is:

• Dia berpeluh = He/She was sweating
• selepas rali itu = after that rally

Together, it tells you when the sweating happened.

In Malay, demonstratives like ini (this) and itu (that) usually come after the noun.

So:

• rali itu = that rally
• buku itu = that book
• orang itu = that person

This is one of the most important word-order differences from English.

Yes, it is very normal.

The basic order is:

• Dia = subject
• berpeluh = verb
• selepas rali itu = time phrase

So the sentence follows a common Malay pattern:

Subject + Verb + Time expression

This is quite similar to English in this case, except for rali itu instead of that rally.

Not exactly in the English grammatical sense. Malay verbs do not change form for tense the way English verbs do.

Berpeluh itself does not mean specifically:

• sweats
• is sweating
• was sweating
• has sweated

The time is understood from context. Here, selepas rali itu makes it sound like something that happened after a particular event, so in English you would often translate it in the past:

• He/She was sweating after that rally or
• He/She sweated after that rally

But the Malay verb form stays the same.

Rali is a loanword, ultimately from English rally.

Malay uses many borrowed words, especially for modern activities, sports, politics, and technology. The spelling is adapted to Malay spelling conventions, so rally becomes rali.

Depending on context, rali could refer to:

• a political rally
• a sports rally
• another kind of rally/event

Yes, very often you can.

• selepas rali itu = more standard/formal
• lepas rali itu = more casual and common in speech

Both can mean after that rally.

So these are both natural:

• Dia berpeluh selepas rali itu.
• Dia berpeluh lepas rali itu.

The first sounds a bit more formal or careful.

A simple approximate pronunciation is:

ber-pe-luh

Roughly:

• ber: like buh or ber with a light r
• pe: like puh or a short pe
• luh: like luh

A fuller approximation might be: buhr-puh-looh or ber-pə-luh

A few helpful points:

• Malay pronunciation is usually quite regular.
• The e in many Malay words is often a weak vowel, like the a in about.
• The final h in peluh is lightly pronounced, not silent in careful speech.

Sometimes yes, if the subject is already clear from context.

For example, in conversation, someone might simply say:

• Berpeluh selepas rali itu.

This could be understood as:

• (He/She/I/They) was sweating after that rally, depending on context.

However, when learning Malay, it is best to keep dia in place until you are comfortable with how subject omission works. The full sentence Dia berpeluh selepas rali itu is clear and natural.
