Because "thank you" in Malay doesn't really mean thank you but an expression of thanks because the literal meaning of "terima kasih" is "receive my love". So the reply of the same words or "sama-sama" (which literally means same-same) is the expression that is to reciprocate with giving our love in return to be thankful. Then there's a joke or flirting way people do when thanked by saying "kasih diterima" or mean your love is received. 😏

It's because they are directly translated from the malay sentences. Malaysians think in malay so when we directly translate the sentence, you just can't convert the *_lah_* into english, so it stays there. Bukanlah - No lah Macam tu lah - like that lah Tentu lah - of course lah Janganlah - don't lah If you just add the lah to the end of every sentence, sometimes it feels off because the original malay sentence doesn't have the *lah* in it.

the lah word just like you said, it like emotion on the sentence, it differ on the tone for expression either to persuade, happy, angry, sad, dissappointment and other expression...best to use on persuade, like boleh laaaa(when to ask something to do something or buy something) repetitive word - normally to give firm answer, because sometimes we will ask 2-3 times to confirm, but when somebody just said 3-4 time that one mean you can do/get it... dah makan / food - another chapter for malaysian to break the ice/to start conversation plus to show caring for somebody. if close friends or family, sometimes they will prepare snack and beverage and then chit chat while eating, if coming at lunch or dinner then you will be asking to join...food are close to our heart plus we have multiculture hence we enjoy all kind off food. But when outside, it will become a horror as we dont know where to eat...(same as to me when somebody ask where the good restaurant to eat or recommend, i will answer dont know because it is hard to recommend the restaurant that suit the palate of your friends) uncle/aunty/boss/akak/abang - our respect on other people and we feel like we are in one family. we hardly to say sir/madam/miss (tuan / puan / encik / cik in malay) this word normally use on formal ocassion or when you at government office... time- yeah, we call it malaysian standard time... but it depends on people. me, myself are very punctual...but if official thing, most of them are punctual... chilie - yeah, chilie sauces are the best... i always bring the packet when travel...

"lah" is in fact a standard Malay language suffix word. It refers to mean an expression to act on some thing. E.g. "Buatlah" (go do it), "sukalah" (be /am happy). It is grammatically wrong to write 'lah' as one word on its own. It is a suffix word. Another word to express feeling n contempt for example, "pe(r)gilah!" (means sod off).

‘Lah’ originally created to ease down ordering words in malay sentences such as jangan’lah’ (don’t) pergi’lah’ (go) hendak’la’ (have to). When you re telling someone to do something, the word ‘lah’ can be added to the sentence to make it sounds more polite. It was created by Abdullah Mushi, the founding father of modern malay literature in early 1800s.

I think because Malaysians speak multiple languages, when we are switching between one another we tend to mix the languages. Example: uncle/ aunty, if directly translated to mandarin "叔叔/阿姨", it's the way to address elders. In Mandarin, we translated directly from the Cantonese the way uncle/ aunty does, thus it's hard for native mandarin speaker to understand (but they understand our words, not the structure), but foreigners who speak Cantonese will understand. And we translated how we speak Malay/ Mandarin (wording structure) to English, thus some of the English = Manglish and it's hard for native English speaker to understand. But who cares here, as long as we could communicate with one another without issues 🙈 I somehow realise we "combine" or "connect" more than 3-5 languages which became the Malaysian slang. Thus only ppl who speak these languages can understand. This is interesting

@@GlobalGibbon Well, in addition to the Malays, the Malaysian Chinese also has 啦(lah) which is a common exclamation among others used in the Mandarin language, which may be why the lah gets picked up.

Just my speculation on how it became popularised.
