Penyokong itu sangat bising.

Malay often does not use a verb like to be in simple descriptive sentences.

So:

• Penyokong itu sangat bising = That supporter is very noisy / The supporters are very noisy
• Literally, it is closer to supporter that very noisy

This is completely normal in Malay. When a noun is being described by an adjective, you usually do not need a word for is/are.

Penyokong means supporter or supporters, depending on context.

It comes from the root sokong = support.

The prefix peN- forms a person associated with the action, so:

• sokong = to support
• penyokong = supporter

In real usage, penyokong can refer to:

• a sports fan
• a political supporter
• a supporter of a person, group, or idea

It can be either singular or plural.

Malay nouns usually do not change form for singular vs. plural the way English does. So penyokong can mean:

• supporter
• supporters

The context tells you which one is meant.

So Penyokong itu sangat bising could mean:

• That supporter is very noisy
• Those supporters are very noisy
• The supporter is very noisy
• The supporters are very noisy

If the speaker wants to make plurality clearer, they might say:

• penyokong-penyokong itu = those/the supporters
• para penyokong itu = the supporters

In Malay, demonstratives like ini (this) and itu (that) usually come after the noun, not before it.

So:

• penyokong itu = that supporter / the supporter
• rumah itu = that house
• buku ini = this book

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

It can feel like either, depending on context.

In Malay, itu literally means that, but in many sentences it also helps identify a specific noun, so it can sound like English the.

So penyokong itu might be understood as:

• that supporter
• the supporter
• those supporters
• the supporters

Malay does not always separate these meanings as strictly as English does. Context is very important.

Sangat means very.

It intensifies the adjective that follows it:

• bising = noisy
• sangat bising = very noisy

This is a very common pattern in Malay:

• sangat besar = very big
• sangat cepat = very fast
• sangat mahal = very expensive

In Malay, intensifiers like sangat usually come before the adjective.

So:

• sangat bising = very noisy
• sangat cantik = very beautiful
• sangat susah = very difficult

This is similar to English very noisy, where very also comes before the adjective.

Bising most commonly means noisy.

It usually suggests unpleasant or excessive sound, not just volume. So it is often closer to:

• noisy
• making a racket
• too loud

For example:

• Budak-budak itu bising. = The children are noisy.
• Jangan bising. = Don’t be noisy.

So in this sentence, bising suggests that the supporter(s) are making a lot of disruptive noise.

Yes, it is perfectly natural.

Penyokong itu sangat bising is a normal, clear Malay sentence. It sounds like standard written or spoken Malay.

A speaker might also say slightly different versions depending on tone or context, such as:

• Penyokong itu bising sekali. = That supporter is very noisy.
• Penyokong-penyokong itu sangat bising. = Those supporters are very noisy.

But your original sentence is fully correct and natural.

Yes.

Amat also means very, and it is often a little more formal or literary than sangat.

So:

• sangat bising = very noisy
• amat bising = very noisy

Both are correct. In everyday speech, sangat is generally more common.

A simple approximate pronunciation is:

pe-NYO-kong EE-too SA-ngat BEE-sing

A few helpful notes:

• penyokong: the ny sounds like the ny in Spanish señor, or like ny in canyon
• itu: roughly ee-too
• sangat: the ng is like the ng in sing
• bising: roughly bee-sing

Malay pronunciation is usually quite regular, and each vowel is normally pronounced clearly.

You have a few options.

1. Penyokong-penyokong itu sangat bising.
   This explicitly marks plural by repeating the noun.

2. Para penyokong itu sangat bising.
   Para is used for groups of people and sounds a bit more formal.

In many everyday situations, though, Malay speakers simply leave the noun unmarked and rely on context:

• Penyokong itu sangat bising.

Not freely.

The normal order here is:

• penyokong itu = noun + demonstrative
• sangat bising = intensifier + adjective

So the standard sentence is:

• Penyokong itu sangat bising.

If you change the order, it may sound unnatural or mean something different. For example:

• Itu penyokong... can work in some contexts, but it usually has a different structure or emphasis
• Bising sangat is possible in speech for emphasis, but it is more colloquial and less neutral than sangat bising

For a learner, the safest pattern is:

noun + itu/ini + sangat + adjective
