Selected
saya akan beri kamu 5 nikel
Translation: Nickle = 5 nikel (karyanet)
And as for the spelling: nickel, nickle (nn.)
Nickel is the preferred Standard spelling, nickle a fairly rare variant to which many people firmly object. Use nickel, especially in Edited English, for both the metal and the coin.

: right. the full translation is "saya akan beri kamu 5 cent" [drop 's' for "cents" in malay and don't confuse it with 5 sen (RM 0.05).
