I'm trying to find out if it's true that my Malay language could be a language that takes to long to express something (in writing or in pronouncation or both sometimes). One example is below -

English: I found a cat.
(if I translate that:)
Malay: Saya telah menjumpai seekor kucing.

Can anyone help me out to prove this theory? How do you say 'I found a cat'(must be in past tense) in your language?
