These nine categories of compound words/phrases are the common vocabulary found in the textbooks used in UiTM Mandarin courses. It is noted that when Malay compound words/phrases are translated into Chinese, compound words/phrases of these three combinations - noun-noun (of partial formal phrase structure), adjective-noun, and adverb-verb (“kata kerja - kata penerang” in Malay) - need to have their order of words changed. The compound words/phrases in six other groups, however, did not require any changes in the word order.
