Well, I'm Indonesian, and I'm aware that there are some differences between Malaysian and Indonesian.

If you want a purely Malaysian translation, I'll keep my hands off.

Hope this will not be too late.

As most of your words are added with prefixes and suffixes (imbuhan), some of the expression that you want as shown inside braces, are used without the 'imbuhan'.

memilih (root word -> pilih) means 'to choose'
For 'to pick up', it's 'ambil' (to take)

'pergi' does mean 'to go' but if in 'to go home', it's 'balik'

'wake up' is just 'bangun', 'membangunkan' means 'to wake somebody up', or the more common meaning is 'to develop'

'buat' is the root word for 'membuat' for both 'to do' and 'to make'

'pukulan' is the noun form of 'hit' or 'the act of hiting'. If you want 'to hit' in verb form, use the basic form 'pukul', 'Jangan pukul saya' (Don't hit me).

'permainan' means 'game', if you want the verb for play, it's 'main'

'berbohong' (root: bohong) means 'to lie' as in ' to tell the untrue', 'to lie down' is 'baring'

For 'to speak some language', I think 'bertutur' sounds better, although 'bercakap' is still all right.

'to know' 'mengetahui', typo probably.

'to understand', 'mengerti' is ok, but we use 'faham' or with suffixes 'memahami' more.

'menaikkan' is use in the sense of raising price, flag and so on. For raise hand, 'angkat' is use instead.

your context of look, the verb 'tengok' is more common.

'jantina' means sex in the sense of gender, while the real sex, it's 'seks'

'tendang' although is ok, but we use 'sepak' more for soccer.

'get up' in your context is 'bangun'

'berfikir' here means 'to ponder' or 'to think about'. In your context, the verb is 'ingat'

'move' in your context is 'pindah' or 'angkat'

'down' is 'bawah'

'like this' is 'macam ini'

'this way' in your context is 'sini'

'kerata api' is more commonly spelt as 'keratapi'

'man' is 'lelaki', 'manusia' is 'human'

'boy friend' is 'teman lelaki', also in colloquial form 'pakwe'

'girl friend' is 'teman wanita'. and the corresponding colloquial form 'makwe'

'benar' is 'correct/true', 'right' in your context is 'kanan'

'lurus' is 'not curve' type of straight, for 'go straight' it's 'terus'

'dahulu' means before in the sense of 'long time ago'. Before in your context is 'sebelum'

'well' (as in well.....) has no real equivalent in malay

'there is' is express as 'ada sesuatu' in your context

'like I said' is 'seperti yang saya katakan'

'mine' is 'saya punya'

'just' in your context should be 'baru', patut is 'should'

'no one' is 'tiada siapa'

'well' (adj) is 'baik'

'stinky' is 'busuk'

'smells good' is 'wangi'

'warm' is express as 'panas'

'kurus' is enough, 'kurus kering' is use if you want to mean 'very skinny' in the negative sense
