Usage notes
[edit]ramai and banyak both mean "many", but ramai is used exclusively to refer to people while banyak may be used to refer to people, animals or objects. The word ramai is almost always used in conjunction with orang ("people") as in ramai orang to draw attention to a crowd-like atmosphere associated with a gathering of many people. In contrast, banyak, when followed by orang, simply implies a big concentration of people without reference to the atmosphere therein. Note also that the word ramai, as opposed to banyak, may be preceded by orang as in orang ramai, meaning the public.
