    Pronunciation

    Indonesian words are spoken as they are written. Vowels pronounciation:

    Indonesian English
    a AH like "a" in "father"
    e AY like "a" in "date", or UH like "a" in "about", or E like "e" in "bed"
    i EE like "ee" in "see"
    o OH like "o" in "no", or AW like "o" in "on"
    u OO like "ou" in "you"

    Sentence Composition

    Common sentence structure:

    Subject – Verb – Object

    Note that in Indonesian we don't have articles (a, an, the) and we don't discriminate between the singular form and the plural form of a noun. That's right, the word stays the same whether there is only one of it or there are more than one!

    For example:

    Indonesian English
    Saya mau apel I want an apple
    Saya mau apel I want apples
    Kamu mau jeruk You want an orange
    Kamu mau jeruk You want oranges

    17 words

    Self-Introduction Phrases

    1. Literally meaning "What (your) news" in English, Apa kabar actually means “How are you” or “How do you do”.

    2. Siapa is used instead of apa for asking a person’s name in Indonesian. A fuller explanation Click Here


    Indonesian Noun Phrase

    Generally, the sentence structure of Indonesian and English is similar. But, the structure of noun phrase is opposite to English, the main noun position is before the modifier noun.

    For example:

    Nama saya = My name

    Apel merah = Red apple


    To be

    In spoken Indonesian, You don’t need to translate “to be” (is, am, are). To be means adalah in Indonesian. Even, in written the function of it is just to emphasize the noun, sometimes it is also omitted.

    For example:

    My name is Jon = Nama saya Jon.


    No in Indonesian

    Indonesian has some ways to express “no” (bukan, tidak, jangan and belum) . Bukan is used to negate nouns and adverbs, Tidak is used to negate verbs and adjectives, Jangan is to tell somebody not to do something and Belum means not yet or event may happen in the future.

    For example:

    Indonesian English
    Saya bukan James I am not James
    Kamu tidak suka jeruk You do not like oranges
    Jangan pergi! Don't go!
    Dia belum pergi She has not gone yet

  • ••• 05 Basics 222 @ 100% 0

    Let’s step up the game. Welcome to Basics 2!

    You have learned some personal pronouns in Basics 1 (aku, kamu, dia), and you are going to find the rest of them here. There are some highlights that should be put as a reminder:

    • Indonesian has formal and informal pronouns which you should pay attention the most when you are going to talk about “you” and “I” (Aww). Use “Anda” (You) and “Saya” (I) only in formal situation.

    • Indonesian differentiates between singular “you” and plural “you”. The use of “Kamu”/”Anda” signalizes the person to be only one, whereas “Kalian” means there are multiple people.

    • Indonesian has an inclusive and exclusive “we”. For example, if you (A) and your friend (B) are talking to someone (C), and the conversation goes like this:
      A: “Kami makan ikan.” (We eat fish).
      This means that A and B ate fish, but C might or did not. But if it is like this:
      A: “Kita makan ikan.” (We eat fish).
      This means that all of them ate fish. The first example uses “Kami” which implies exclusivity, whereas the second example uses “Kita” to include C, which implies inclusiveness.

    • Indonesian does not have non-personal subject pronouns, hence use “itu” (that) or “ini” (this) instead.

    Here is the table to summarize the rules of pronoun uses:

    English Indonesian Formal/Informal
    I Saya Formal
    I Aku Informal
    You (Singular) Anda Formal
    You (Singular) Kamu Informal
    You (Plural) Kalian Formal & Informal
    We (Inclusive) Kita Formal & Informal
    We (Exclusive) Kami Formal & Informal
    He/She Dia Formal & Informal
    They Mereka Formal & Informal

  • ••• 14 Greetings23 @ 100% 0

    Greetings

    Indonesian uses the word selamat to greet people. Selamat is actually derived from Arabic word salam which means peace. You just need to add selamat before the time or condition in greeting.

    Indonesian English
    Selamat pagi Good morning
    Selamat siang Good afternoon
    Selamat sore Good afternoon
    Selamat malam Good evening
    Selamat tidur (lit. Good sleep) Good night
    Selamat tinggal (lit. Good leaving) Goodbye
    Selamat datang (lit. Good coming) Welcome

    Note that the concept of time of the day in Indonesian is slightly different from that in English, so use the greetings accordingly!

    Position of the sun Time of the day
    The sun is going up, from dawn to around 10am Pagi
    The sun is right up your head, from around 10am to 3pm Siang
    The sun is going down, from around 3pm to dusk Sore
    The sun is not visible in the sky Malam

    Indonesian also uses Assalamu ’alaikum to greet someone and responds with Wa 'alaikumsalam as Islam majority country.

    The word selamat is also used to congratulate other people.

    Indonesian English
    Selamat ulang tahun Happy birthday
    Selamat Idul Fitri Eid Mubarak
    Selamat tahun baru Happy new year
    Selamat natal Merry christmas

    Terima kasih

    Terima kasih means "thank you" is Indonesian phrase to express gratitude. If you want to express greater sense of gratitude, you can say terima kasih banyak.

    In informal situations, you can just shorten terima kasih become makasih just like "thanks" in English.

    Sama-sama or Terima kasih kembali is used to respond thanking, “You are welcome” in English.

  • ••• 32 Restaurant31 @ 25% 75

    Restaurant

    Rice is the staple food for Indonesians.
    Indonesian has the following words for rice:
    'padi' = rice when it's still growing in the fields.
    'beras' = rice when it's harvested and ready for sale (raw).
    'nasi' = rice when it's cooked (and edible).

    So, when you're travelling through the country and see the ricefields ('sawah'), what you see is called 'padi'.
    Raw, uncooked rice in a shop or a market is called 'beras'.
    It's only called 'nasi' when it's cooked and edible.

  • ••• 32 Base Verbs41 @ 25% 75

    Base verbs

    A base word can belong to one or more word classes: noun, verb, adjective, etc...
    This skill is about the verb as a base word.

    Examples:
    Saya datang = I come.
    Saya pergi = I go.
    Saya lupa = I forgot.
    Saya ingat = I remember.
    Saya pulang = I go home.

    The base words as shown in the examples above are verbs.
    These base words don't need an affix (more about affixes in later skills) to function as a verb.

    Verbs are not conjugated in Indonesian.
    Present tense, past tense, future tense: the verb remains the same.
    Singular, plural : the verb remains the same.

    Examples:
    Saya datang kemarin = I came yesterday.
    Mereka datang hari ini. = They come today.
    Dia akan datang besok. = He/She will come tomorrow.

    No matter the time (present/past/future) or the quantity (singular/plural), the verb 'datang' remains 'datang.

    Time is expressed by using time markers (yesterday, today, tomorrow, etc...).
    Singular or plural also doesn't matter, 'datang' remains 'datang'.

    That's easy, isn't it !?

  • ••• 32 Possesive Pronouns42 @ 100% 0

    Possessive pronouns

    In contrast to English, Indonesian possessive pronouns are just the same with subjective and objective pronouns. For example:

    "Ini rumah saya" (This is my house)
    "Ini rumah anda" (This is your house)
    "Ini rumah mereka" (This is their house)

    There are some exceptions for “aku”, “kamu”, and “dia”,which uses affixes "-ku", "-mu", and "-nya" respectively:

    "Ini rumah aku"= "Ini rumahku" (This is my house)
    "Ini rumah kamu"= "Ini rumahmu" (This is your house)
    "Ini rumah dia"= "Ini rumahnya" (This is his/her house)

    Take note that the pronouns are definitely located behind the noun even if it has 2 or more words. For example:

    "Ini kamar mandi saya" (This is my bathroom)
    "Rumah besarku" (My big house)
    "Di mana gaun hitam barumu?" (Where is your new black dress?)

  • ••• 32 Clothing51 @ 100% 0

    Clothing

    Pakaian

    This skill is about clothing related items and most of the words introduced here are nouns.
    Please remember that an Indonesian noun phrase starts with the noun, followed by the modifiers (adjectives, possesive pronouns, etc).

    Examples [noun phrase]:
    Saya punya [kemeja putih]. = I have a [white shirt].
    [Kemeja saya] putih. = [My shirt] is white.
    [Kemeja putih saya] di tas. = [My white shirt]* is in the bag.

    Please note that 'kemeja' (a shirt) is not the same as a T-shirt ('kaus').
    kemeja = shirt (with buttons and a collar).
    kaus = T-shirt

    'kaus' is often spelled and pronounced as 'kaos'.
    'kaus' is the official spelling.
    'kaos' has a different meaning in the official spelling.

    Kaos kacau balau

  • ••• 41 Conjunctives 152 @ 75% 25

    Conjunctives 1

    Conjunctives work similarly to English; they are used to connect phrases.

    One difference worth noting: the conjunction yang expands a previously mentioned idea, just like which, that, or i.e. in English. For instance,

    'Dia membaca buku yang saya suka'
    translates to 'He reads a book that I like.'

    However, while you can omit the that in the English translation, omitting yang in the Indonesian sentence would make it lose its original meaning.


    tapi = tetapi = but (tetapi is more formal)
    ketika = saat = waktu = when (at the time that)

  • ••• 41 Plurals53 @ 50% 50

    Welcome to Plurals!

    Here you'll learn a thing or two about plural words in Bahasa Indonesia. Here is your starter pack to start your journey:

    1. One thing that should be noted is that you can almost immediately recognize whether or not a word is singular or plural by its repetition. Word repetition such as "buku-buku" (books) automatically turns the word into plural form.
    2. There are no plural forms for some objects that already has repetition in their name such as "kupu-kupu" (Butterfly), and "kura-kura" (turtle). It's "Kura-kura ninja" and not "Kura-kura kura-kura ninja" to translate "Ninja turtles"!
    3. You can express that a word is plural by using a singular noun and add numeric words in front of it (except one and zero, of course). When the quantity is mentioned, the noun is not repeated.
    4. Like singular words, adjectives (or other information aside from numerics) for plural words are put after the words.

    Take a look at the recap (Let's put a spotlight on spoons):

    English Indonesian Do or Don't
    Spoons Sendok-sendok Do
    Many spoons Banyak sendok Do
    Two spoons Dua sendok Do
    Two spoons Dua sendok-sendok Don't
    Two green spoons Dua sendok hijau Do
    Two green spoons Dua sendok-sendok hijau Don't
    Two green spoons Dua sendok hijau-hijau No please don't
    Two green spoons Dua hijau sendok-sendok Obviously don't

    The noun is not repeated when it is obvious from context if it is singular or plural.
    (satu sendok, dua sendok, tiga sendok, banyak sendok).

    The noun is also not repeated when talking about it in general: :
    "Anjng makan tulang." = "Dogs eat bones".
    "Kucing suka susu." = "Cats like milk."

  • ••• 32 Questions62 @ 75% 25

    Yes/No Questions

    An easy way to ask a yes/no question is simply to raise your intonation, with practically no change in the statement. In written form, this raised intonation is indicated by a question mark.

    • Mereka sudah pergi? (They have left?)

    Another way is to use the word apa or apakah at the beginning of the sentence. In this context, both words have no actual meaning; they simply indicate that the sentence is a question. Note that apakah is more formal.

    • Apa kamu mengerti? (Do you understand?)
    • Apakah Anda tinggal di sini? (Do you live here?)

    You can also ask a yes/no question by attaching -kah to another word, which is placed in the beginning of the question.

    • Salahkah aku? (Am I wrong?)

    Wh- Questions

    English Indonesian
    what apa
    who siapa
    why mengapa, kenapa
    how bagaimana
    when kapan
    where di mana

    Apa (what)

    Apa is used to ask questions about objects, meaning what or what kind of. Note that in this case, the word apa is different from the one used in yes/no questions.

    • Apa makanan ini? (What is this food?)
    • Buah apa ini? (What kind of fruit is this?)

    Siapa (who)

    Siapa is used to ask questions about a person. Although it means who, it is also used to ask someone's name or to whom an object belongs.

    • Siapa mereka? (Who are they?)
    • Siapa namamu? (What is your name?)

    Mengapa/kenapa (why)

    While mengapa and kenapa both mean why, kenapa is less formal.

    • Mengapa Anda marah? (Why are you angry?)
    • Kenapa kucing saya pergi? (Why does my cat leave?)

    Bagaimana (how)

    • Bagaimana kabarmu? (How are you?)
    • Bagaimana menggunakan ini? (How do we use this?)

    Kapan (when)

    Kapan is used to ask questions about a particular point in time. Even though it means when, kapan is only used in questions. It cannot be used as a conjunction.

    • Kapan liburan dimulai? (When does the holiday start?)

    Di mana (where)

    The word mana is usually combined with a preposition. Apart from di, mana is also combined with ke and dari: ke mana (where to) and dari mana (where from).

    • Di mana kantor kalian (Where is your office?)
    • Ke mana anjingmu pergi? (Where is your dog going?)
    • Mereka berasal dari mana? (Where do they come from?)

  • ••• 32 Me- Verbs 172 @ 25% 75

    Me- verbs 1

    In this lesson you will learn verbs with the preffix me-. Verbs with this prefix are usually transitive verbs; they need an object. (Not all me-verbs are transitive).

    In conversations, some verbs may lose their me- prefix without a change in meaning. This often sounds less formal. The reverse can be true sometimes where not dropping the me- prefix makes one sound overly formal. You will have to learn these quirks in the field.

    Very often, the prefix causes sound change when attached to a base verb. The table below lists this behaviour:

    affix verb’s starting letter example
    me- l, m, n, r, w, y, ng, ny meminum (minum)
    mem- b, f, v membuat (buat)
    men- d, j, c mencari (cari)
    mem- p (dissolves into “m”) memesan (pesan)
    men- t (dissolves into “n”) menebang (tebang)

    Examples :

    l, m, n, r, w ==> me + base
    lempar ==> melempar
    minta ==> meminta

    b, f, v ==> me + m
    buat ==> membuat
    buka ==> membuka
    beri ==> memberi
    bayar ==> membayar
    bangun ==> membangun

    c, d, j ==> me + n

    Adjectives 1

    Kata sifat

    If an adjective is modifying a noun, the adjective is placed after the noun.
    In a noun phrase, the head noun comes first, followed by the adjectives and other modifiers of the noun.
    Examples:
    Minuman dingin. = Cold drink.
    Saya suka kopi dingin = I like cold coffee.

    Adjectives about quantity (sedikit, banyak) are placed before the noun.
    Examples:
    Saya punya sedikit gula. = I have a little bit of sugar.
    Saya punya banyak buku. = I have many books.
    Saya punya banyak kucing kecil. = I have many small cats.

    An adjective can also function as a predicate.
    Examples:
    Kamu cantik. = You are beautiful.
    Saya pendek dan kamu tinggi. = I am short and you are tall.
    Kamu muda dan saya tua. = You are young and I am old.
    Ini mudah, ini tidak sulit. = This is easy, this is not difficult.
    Ini gampang, ini tidak susah. = This is easy, this is not difficult.


    Please note that in the examples above, the Indonesian sentences don't use a verb.
    The adjective is the predicate in these sentences.
    The English sentences use the verb "to be" to connect the subject and predicate.

    In other words, when translating these type of sentences from English to Indonesian, the verb "to be" is not translated.
    The verb "to be" can be translated as 'adalah" or 'ada' in another context, but not in these sentences.

    Examples:
    You are beautiful.
    Kamu ~~adalah/ada~~ cantik.
    ==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

    This is easy, this is not difficult.
    Ini ~~adalah/ada~~ gampang, ini ~~adalah/ada~~ tidak susah.
    ==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

    Numbers

    Units Numbers Written Range

    10s 10 – 90 Puluh Puluhan
    100s 100 – 900 Ratus Ratusan
    1000s 1000 – 9000 Ribu Ribuan

    Since we're in Numbers, let's go for a bit of math. Imagine if Z is a number. Let's assume that Z is 4 (Z = 4). Note that you can only replace Z with numbers 1 to 9.

    Mathematical Form Written Form Indonesian English
    Z + 10 Z belas Empat belas Fourteen
    Z x 10 Z puluh Empat puluh Forty
    Z x 100 Z ratus Empat ratus Four hundred
    Z x 1000 Z ribu Empat ribu Four thousand
    Z x 10 x 1000 Z puluh ribu Empat puluh ribu Forty thousand
    Z x 100 x 1000 Z ratus ribu Empat ratus ribu Four hundred thousand
    Z x 1000 x 1000 Z juta Empat juta Four millions

    The formula goes on even if the range widens. Easy, isn't it? Though, it should be noted that there is an exception for numbers that start with 1 (except 1 and 12 to 19) for they start with "se-" as the substitute of "satu" (one):

    Range Number Indonesian English
    Belas 11 Sebelas Eleven
    Puluh 10 Sepuluh Ten
    Ratus 100 Seratus A hundred
    Ribu 1.000 Seribu A thousand

    It should be noted, however, that it is acceptable to use "satu" instead of "se-" for numbers that start with 1 for ranges "Juta" (Million), "Miliar" (Billion), and above.

    Adjectives 2

    Kata sifat

    Like already mentioned in the other skill about 'adjectives', an adjective can have the following functions :
    - Attributive function
    - Predicative function
    - Adverbial function

    Attributive function:
    If an adjective is modifying a noun, the adjective is placed after the noun.
    In a noun phrase, the head noun comes first, followed by the adjectives and other modifiers of the noun.

    The word order in a noun phrase [FN]:
    (a) [FN] = noun + adjective + personal pronoun + determiner
    (b) [FN] = noun + personal pronoun + 'yang' + adjective + determiner

    (a) Kucing kecil saya itu = That small cat of mine.
    (b) Kucing saya yang kecil itu = That small cat of mine.

    Predicative function
    An adjective can also function as a predicate:
    Kamu cantik. = You are pretty.
    Kamu lucu. = You are funny.
    Kucingku nakal. = My cat is naughty.
    Nenek sakit. = Grandmother is ill.
    Tini sehat. = Tini is healthy.


    Please note that in the examples above, the Indonesian sentences don't use a verb.
    The adjective is the predicate in these sentences.
    The English sentences use the verb "to be" to connect the subject and predicate.

    In other words, when translating these type of sentences from English to Indonesian, the verb "to be" is not translated.
    The verb "to be" can be translated as 'adalah" or 'ada' in another context, but not in these sentences.

    Examples:
    You are funny.
    Kamu ~~adalah/ada~~ lucu.
    ==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

    My cat is naughty.
    Kucingku ~~adalah/ada~~ nakal.
    ==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

    Keluarga

    This skill introduces the names of the family members.
    Kakek = grandfather
    Nenek = grandmother
    Ayah = father
    Ibu = mother
    Kakak = older brother / older sister
    Adik = younger brother / younger sister

    Some of these family names, (bapak, ibu, saudara), are also used as a 'title' when addressing a person.
    Examples:

    Apakah Bapak/Ibu ingin teh manis ?
    Does father/mother want sweet tea ?
    Do you (Mister/Madam) want sweet tea ?

    Kapan Bapak/Ibu pergi ke Jakarta ?
    When does father/mother go to jakarta ?
    When do you (Mister/Madam) go to Jakarta ?

    Saudara saudari, selamat datang di pertemuan ini.
    Brothers and sisters, welcome to this gathering.

    Bapak/Pak and Ibu/Bu are often used to address someone in a polite way.
    It's considered rude to address someone who is older than you are with 'kamu'.
    Bapak/Pak and Ibu/Bu can be used as a polite substitute for 'kamu / Anda / kalian'.

    Saudara can also be used like that, to address someone of about the same age, also to avoid the use of 'kamu / Anda'.

    2) Dompetku sudah diambil (oleh) adikku tadi pagi.
    3) Dompetku sudah diambil tadi pagi oleh adikku.

    Another way to soften the tone of the command is by using words as 'mohon', 'coba', 'tolong', 'silakan'.
    The command will sound more like a polite question asking for help.

    Examples:

    (+) Kamu mengambil es teh.
    (!) Ambil es teh !
    (!) Ambillah es teh !
    Get an iced tea !

    (+) Kamu mengambilkan ibumu segelas es teh.
    (!) Ambilkan ibumu segelas es teh !
    (!) Ambilkanlah ibumu segelas es teh !
    Get your mother an iced tea !

    (+) Kamu menyelesaikan pekerjaanmu.
    (!) Selesaikan pekerjaanmu !
    (!) Selesaikanlah pekerjaanmu !
    Finish your work !

    (+) Kamu menjawab pertanyaan saya.
    (!) Jawab pertanyaan saya !
    (!) Jawablah pertanyaan saya !
    Answer my question !

    (+) Kamu melempar bolanya ke Tini.
    (!) Lempar bolanya ke Tini !
    (!) Lemparlah bolanya ke Tini !
    Throw the ball to Tini !

    Words like : 'coba', 'tolong', 'silakan' are often used to soften the tone of the command.

    Coba panggil Tini ke sini !
    Tolong panggil Tini ke sini !
    Please call Tini over here !

    Silakan masuk, Pak !
    Please come in, Sir !

    Silakan makan salju kuning, Pak !
    Please eat yellow snow, Sir !

    When asking somebody else to participate and join the action, the following words are used : 'ayo', 'mari'.

    Ayo kita lompat dari jembatan !
    Mari kita lompat dari jembatan !
    Let us jump off the bridge !

    Ayo makan salju kuning !
    Mari makan salju kuning !
    Let's eat yellow snow !

    When ordering someone NOT to do something, the negation word 'jangan' is used.

    Jangan lompat dari jembatan !
    Don't jump off a bridge !

    Jangan makan salju kuning !
    Don't eat yellow snow !

  • ••• 32 Feelings152 @ 25% 75

    Feelings 1

    Perasaan

    Many of the words introduced in this skill are adjectives.
    As a reminder, an adjective can function as a predicate in a sentence.
    In other words, such a sentence doesn't use a verb.

    Examples:
    Saya bosan. = I am bored.
    Saya kecewa. = I am disappointed.
    Saya takut. = I am scared.


    The following sentences use the same base words as above, but now the 'me-kan' affix is used.
    (there is another skill that explains the use of this 'me-kan' affix)(see link below).

    In the following sentences, the 'me-kan' verb has a 'causative' meaning.

    Examples:
    FIlm ini membosankan. = This movie is boring.
    Film ini mengecewakan. = This movie is disappointing.
    Film ini menakutkan. = This movie is scary.


    In grammar terms:
    [subject] [causes the base word] [to the direct object].
    The subject [Film ini] is causing the feeling as expressed by the base word [membosankan] to the [direct opbject].
    In the examples above, the [direct object] is implied and omitted:

    FIlm ini membosankan [semua orang].
    Film ini mengecewakan [semua orang].
    Film ini menakutkan [semua orang].

    Saya kecewa, karena film ini sangat membosankan.

  • ••• 23 Me-kan Verbs 1172 @ 25% 75

    Me-kan verbs 1

    The me-kan circumfix has two main functions: benefactive (when it is applied to a verb) and causative (when it is applied to an adjective).

    Benefactive

    Benefactive means doing something for someone else's benefit. In this case, the subject is doing the verb with the me-kan circumfix for the benefit of someone or something else.

    Example:

    • Ibu membacakan dongeng untuk adik. Mother is reading a bedtime story for little sister.
    • Sarah mengantarkan kue untuk Budi. Sarah is delivering cookies for Budi.

    Benefactive me-kan verbs are always transitive (needing direct objects!)

    Causative

    Causative means causing someone or something else to become or feel something. In this case, the me-kan circumfix is applied to an adjective. The subject is causing the object to feel or become the adjective with the me-kan circumfix.

    Example:

    • Ani membangunkan Ibu. Ani wakes up Mother. (lit. Ani causes Mother to be awake.)
    • Siti membersihkan kamarnya. Siti cleans her room. (lit. Siti causes her room to be clean)
    • Adi menyusahkan orangtuanya. Adi disappoints his parents. (lit. Adi causes his parents to be disappointed)

    In the following examples the object (everyone, everybody) is implied and left out.

    • Pesta ini membosankan. This party is boring.
    • Berita itu sangat menyedihkan. That news is very saddening.
    • Informasi ini membingungkan. This information is confusing.

    The direct object (everyone, everybody) is implied and omitted.
    In the examples above, the subject is causing everyone in general to feel or become an adjective (i.e. bored, sad, confused).
    These verbs are often translated as an adjective.

    Superlatives and Comparison

    Let's start with some examples:

    Dimas lebih tinggi daripada Tono. = Dimas is taller than Tono.
    Tini lebih pendek daripada Tono. = Tini is shorter than Tono.
    Di antara mereka, Dimas yang tertinggi = Amongst them, Dimas is the tallest.

    'lebih'.......'daripada' literally means 'more'.......'than' :

    lebih penting daripada = more important than
    lebih besar daripada = larger than
    lebih kecil daripada = smaller than
    lebih dalam daripada = deeper than

    "ter-" prefix is used here to form the superlative ('most' / '-est').

    terpenting = paling penting = most important.
    terbesar = paling besar = largest
    terkecil = paling kecil = smallest
    terdalam = paling dalam = deepest

  • ••• 32 Di-kan192 @ 25% 75

    Di-kan verbs

    The di-kan circumfix is the passive form of the me-kan. Like me-kan, the function of this circumfix can be benefactive or causative.

    While for the me-kan circumfix we interpret benefactive as doing something for someone else's benefit, in this context the verb is being done to the subject for the benefit of someone or something else.

    Examples:

    Active sentence Passive sentence
    ID-1 Ibu membacakan dongeng untuk adik. Dongeng dibacakan oleh Ibu.
    EN-1 Mother is reading a bedtime story for little sister. A bedtime story is being read by Mother.
    ID-2 Sarah mengantarkan kue untuk Budi. Kue untuk Budi diantarkan oleh Sarah.
    EN-2 Sarah is delivering cookies for Budi. Cookies for Budi are delivered by Sarah.

    For the causative function, di-kan is applied to an adjective. In this context, the subject is feeling or becoming the adjective thanks to the action of someone or something else.

    Examples:

    Active sentence Passive sentence
    ID-1 Ani membangunkan Ibu. Ibu dibangunkan Ani.
    EN-1 Ani wakes Mother up. Mother is being woken up by Ani.
    ID-2 Siti membersihkan kamarnya. Kamarnya dibersihkan oleh Siti.
    EN-2 Siti cleans her room. Her room is cleaned by Siti.

    Examples:

    1) Ibu dibangunkan (oleh) Ani.
    2) Ibu dibangunkan (oleh) Ani tadi pagi.
    3) Ibu sudah dibangunkan tadi pagi oleh Ani.

    In the first two sentences the 'di-' verb is followed directly by the agent/actor (the one performing the action).
    'oleh' can be left out in such a sentence.
    In the third sentence, the 'di-' verb is not directly followed by the agent/actor.
    'oleh' cannot be left out in such a sentence.

    Additional info

    This skill is about passive verbs and the passive voice.
    Translations in the active voice are rejected.

Basics 1 9 · 2020-09-03 ^

Pronunciation

Indonesian words are spoken as they are written. Vowels pronounciation:

Indonesian English
a AH like "a" in "father"
e AY like "a" in "date", or UH like "a" in "about", or E like "e" in "bed"
i EE like "ee" in "see"
o OH like "o" in "no", or AW like "o" in "on"
u OO like "ou" in "you"

Sentence Composition

Common sentence structure:

Subject – Verb – Object

Note that in Indonesian we don't have articles (a, an, the) and we don't discriminate between the singular form and the plural form of a noun. That's right, the word stays the same whether there is only one of it or there are more than one!

For example:

Indonesian English
Saya mau apel I want an apple
Saya mau apel I want apples
Kamu mau jeruk You want an orange
Kamu mau jeruk You want oranges

Introduction 9 · 2020-09-03 ^

Self-Introduction Phrases

  1. Literally meaning "What (your) news" in English, Apa kabar actually means “How are you” or “How do you do”.

  2. Siapa is used instead of apa for asking a person’s name in Indonesian. A fuller explanation Click Here


Indonesian Noun Phrase

Generally, the sentence structure of Indonesian and English is similar. But, the structure of noun phrase is opposite to English, the main noun position is before the modifier noun.

For example:

Nama saya = My name

Apel merah = Red apple


To be

In spoken Indonesian, You don’t need to translate “to be” (is, am, are). To be means adalah in Indonesian. Even, in written the function of it is just to emphasize the noun, sometimes it is also omitted.

For example:

My name is Jon = Nama saya Jon.


No in Indonesian

Indonesian has some ways to express “no” (bukan, tidak, jangan and belum) . Bukan is used to negate nouns and adverbs, Tidak is used to negate verbs and adjectives, Jangan is to tell somebody not to do something and Belum means not yet or event may happen in the future.

For example:

Indonesian English
Saya bukan James I am not James
Kamu tidak suka jeruk You do not like oranges
Jangan pergi! Don't go!
Dia belum pergi She has not gone yet

Basics 2 9 · 2020-09-03 ^

Let’s step up the game. Welcome to Basics 2!

You have learned some personal pronouns in Basics 1 (aku, kamu, dia), and you are going to find the rest of them here. There are some highlights that should be put as a reminder:

  • Indonesian has formal and informal pronouns which you should pay attention the most when you are going to talk about “you” and “I” (Aww). Use “Anda” (You) and “Saya” (I) only in formal situation.

  • Indonesian differentiates between singular “you” and plural “you”. The use of “Kamu”/”Anda” signalizes the person to be only one, whereas “Kalian” means there are multiple people.

  • Indonesian has an inclusive and exclusive “we”. For example, if you (A) and your friend (B) are talking to someone (C), and the conversation goes like this:
    A: “Kami makan ikan.” (We eat fish).
    This means that A and B ate fish, but C might or did not. But if it is like this:
    A: “Kita makan ikan.” (We eat fish).
    This means that all of them ate fish. The first example uses “Kami” which implies exclusivity, whereas the second example uses “Kita” to include C, which implies inclusiveness.

  • Indonesian does not have non-personal subject pronouns, hence use “itu” (that) or “ini” (this) instead.

Here is the table to summarize the rules of pronoun uses:

English Indonesian Formal/Informal
I Saya Formal
I Aku Informal
You (Singular) Anda Formal
You (Singular) Kamu Informal
You (Plural) Kalian Formal & Informal
We (Inclusive) Kita Formal & Informal
We (Exclusive) Kami Formal & Informal
He/She Dia Formal & Informal
They Mereka Formal & Informal

Greetings 5 · 2020-09-03 ^

Greetings

Indonesian uses the word selamat to greet people. Selamat is actually derived from Arabic word salam which means peace. You just need to add selamat before the time or condition in greeting.

Indonesian English
Selamat pagi Good morning
Selamat siang Good afternoon
Selamat sore Good afternoon
Selamat malam Good evening
Selamat tidur (lit. Good sleep) Good night
Selamat tinggal (lit. Good leaving) Goodbye
Selamat datang (lit. Good coming) Welcome

Note that the concept of time of the day in Indonesian is slightly different from that in English, so use the greetings accordingly!

Position of the sun Time of the day
The sun is going up, from dawn to around 10am Pagi
The sun is right up your head, from around 10am to 3pm Siang
The sun is going down, from around 3pm to dusk Sore
The sun is not visible in the sky Malam

Indonesian also uses Assalamu ’alaikum to greet someone and responds with Wa 'alaikumsalam as Islam majority country.

The word selamat is also used to congratulate other people.

Indonesian English
Selamat ulang tahun Happy birthday
Selamat Idul Fitri Eid Mubarak
Selamat tahun baru Happy new year
Selamat natal Merry christmas

Terima kasih

Terima kasih means "thank you" is Indonesian phrase to express gratitude. If you want to express greater sense of gratitude, you can say terima kasih banyak.

In informal situations, you can just shorten terima kasih become makasih just like "thanks" in English.

Sama-sama or Terima kasih kembali is used to respond thanking, “You are welcome” in English.


Additional info


Kosakata (Vocabulary) :

tidak, ya, terima kasih, maaf, selamat pagi, silakan, sama-sama, sampai jumpa, selamat datang, selamat jalan, assalamualaikum, selamat siang, waalaikumsalam, selamat tinggal, permisi, selamat malam, terima kasih banyak, selamat sore, sampai jumpa lagi, salam, selamat idul fitri

Restaurant 7 · 2020-09-03 ^

Restaurant

Rice is the staple food for Indonesians.
Indonesian has the following words for rice:
'padi' = rice when it's still growing in the fields.
'beras' = rice when it's harvested and ready for sale (raw).
'nasi' = rice when it's cooked (and edible).

So, when you're travelling through the country and see the ricefields ('sawah'), what you see is called 'padi'.
Raw, uncooked rice in a shop or a market is called 'beras'.
It's only called 'nasi' when it's cooked and edible.

Places 1 6 · 2020-09-03 ^

Places 1

'dari', 'ke' , 'di' are the main prepositions used to indicated location.
It's used like this :

Ke sini = To here (movement to a place)
Di sini = Here (no movement)

Base Verbs 5 · 2020-09-03 ^

Base verbs

A base word can belong to one or more word classes: noun, verb, adjective, etc...
This skill is about the verb as a base word.

Examples:
Saya datang = I come.
Saya pergi = I go.
Saya lupa = I forgot.
Saya ingat = I remember.
Saya pulang = I go home.

The base words as shown in the examples above are verbs.
These base words don't need an affix (more about affixes in later skills) to function as a verb.

Verbs are not conjugated in Indonesian.
Present tense, past tense, future tense: the verb remains the same.
Singular, plural : the verb remains the same.

Examples:
Saya datang kemarin = I came yesterday.
Mereka datang hari ini. = They come today.
Dia akan datang besok. = He/She will come tomorrow.

No matter the time (present/past/future) or the quantity (singular/plural), the verb 'datang' remains 'datang.

Time is expressed by using time markers (yesterday, today, tomorrow, etc...).
Singular or plural also doesn't matter, 'datang' remains 'datang'.

That's easy, isn't it !?

Additional info

Kosakata (Vocabulary) :

datang, duduk, muncul, setuju, keluar, masuk, kembali, jatuh, tidur, tahu, lupa, ingat, tinggal, mulai, selesai, bisa

Possesive Pronouns 7 · 2020-11-03 ^

Possessive pronouns

In contrast to English, Indonesian possessive pronouns are just the same with subjective and objective pronouns. For example:

"Ini rumah saya" (This is my house)
"Ini rumah anda" (This is your house)
"Ini rumah mereka" (This is their house)

There are some exceptions for “aku”, “kamu”, and “dia”,which uses affixes "-ku", "-mu", and "-nya" respectively:

"Ini rumah aku"= "Ini rumahku" (This is my house)
"Ini rumah kamu"= "Ini rumahmu" (This is your house)
"Ini rumah dia"= "Ini rumahnya" (This is his/her house)

Take note that the pronouns are definitely located behind the noun even if it has 2 or more words. For example:

"Ini kamar mandi saya" (This is my bathroom)
"Rumah besarku" (My big house)
"Di mana gaun hitam barumu?" (Where is your new black dress?)

Clothing 6 · 2020-09-03 ^

Clothing

Pakaian

This skill is about clothing related items and most of the words introduced here are nouns.
Please remember that an Indonesian noun phrase starts with the noun, followed by the modifiers (adjectives, possesive pronouns, etc).

Examples [noun phrase]:
Saya punya [kemeja putih]. = I have a [white shirt].
[Kemeja saya] putih. = [My shirt] is white.
[Kemeja putih saya] di tas. = [My white shirt]* is in the bag.

Please note that 'kemeja' (a shirt) is not the same as a T-shirt ('kaus').
kemeja = shirt (with buttons and a collar).
kaus = T-shirt

'kaus' is often spelled and pronounced as 'kaos'.
'kaus' is the official spelling.
'kaos' has a different meaning in the official spelling.

Kaos kacau balau

Conjunctives 1 6 · 2020-09-03 ^

Conjunctives 1

Conjunctives work similarly to English; they are used to connect phrases.

One difference worth noting: the conjunction yang expands a previously mentioned idea, just like which, that, or i.e. in English. For instance,

'Dia membaca buku yang saya suka'
translates to 'He reads a book that I like.'

However, while you can omit the that in the English translation, omitting yang in the Indonesian sentence would make it lose its original meaning.


tapi = tetapi = but (tetapi is more formal)
ketika = saat = waktu = when (at the time that)

Plurals 7 · 2020-09-03 ^

Welcome to Plurals!

Here you'll learn a thing or two about plural words in Bahasa Indonesia. Here is your starter pack to start your journey:

  1. One thing that should be noted is that you can almost immediately recognize whether or not a word is singular or plural by its repetition. Word repetition such as "buku-buku" (books) automatically turns the word into plural form.
  2. There are no plural forms for some objects that already has repetition in their name such as "kupu-kupu" (Butterfly), and "kura-kura" (turtle). It's "Kura-kura ninja" and not "Kura-kura kura-kura ninja" to translate "Ninja turtles"!
  3. You can express that a word is plural by using a singular noun and add numeric words in front of it (except one and zero, of course). When the quantity is mentioned, the noun is not repeated.
  4. Like singular words, adjectives (or other information aside from numerics) for plural words are put after the words.

Take a look at the recap (Let's put a spotlight on spoons):

Questions 5 · 2020-09-03 ^

Yes/No Questions

An easy way to ask a yes/no question is simply to raise your intonation, with practically no change in the statement. In written form, this raised intonation is indicated by a question mark.

  • Mereka sudah pergi? (They have left?)

Another way is to use the word apa or apakah at the beginning of the sentence. In this context, both words have no actual meaning; they simply indicate that the sentence is a question. Note that apakah is more formal.

  • Apa kamu mengerti? (Do you understand?)
  • Apakah Anda tinggal di sini? (Do you live here?)

You can also ask a yes/no question by attaching -kah to another word, which is placed in the beginning of the question.

  • Salahkah aku? (Am I wrong?)

Wh- Questions

English Indonesian
what apa
who siapa
why mengapa, kenapa
how bagaimana
when kapan
where di mana

Apa (what)

Apa is used to ask questions about objects, meaning what or what kind of. Note that in this case, the word apa is different from the one used in yes/no questions.

  • Apa makanan ini? (What is this food?)
  • Buah apa ini? (What kind of fruit is this?)

Siapa (who)

Siapa is used to ask questions about a person. Although it means who, it is also used to ask someone's name or to whom an object belongs.

  • Siapa mereka? (Who are they?)
  • Siapa namamu? (What is your name?)

Mengapa/kenapa (why)

While mengapa and kenapa both mean why, kenapa is less formal.

  • Mengapa Anda marah? (Why are you angry?)
  • Kenapa kucing saya pergi? (Why does my cat leave?)

Bagaimana (how)

  • Bagaimana kabarmu? (How are you?)
  • Bagaimana menggunakan ini? (How do we use this?)

Kapan (when)

Kapan is used to ask questions about a particular point in time. Even though it means when, kapan is only used in questions. It cannot be used as a conjunction.

  • Kapan liburan dimulai? (When does the holiday start?)

Di mana (where)

The word mana is usually combined with a preposition. Apart from di, mana is also combined with ke and dari: ke mana (where to) and dari mana (where from).

  • Di mana kantor kalian (Where is your office?)
  • Ke mana anjingmu pergi? (Where is your dog going?)
  • Mereka berasal dari mana? (Where do they come from?)

Me- Verbs 1 8 · 2020-09-03 ^

Me- verbs 1

In this lesson you will learn verbs with the preffix me-. Verbs with this prefix are usually transitive verbs; they need an object. (Not all me-verbs are transitive).

In conversations, some verbs may lose their me- prefix without a change in meaning. This often sounds less formal. The reverse can be true sometimes where not dropping the me- prefix makes one sound overly formal. You will have to learn these quirks in the field.

Very often, the prefix causes sound change when attached to a base verb. The table below lists this behaviour:

affix verb’s starting letter example
me- l, m, n, r, w, y, ng, ny meminum (minum)
mem- b, f, v membuat (buat)
men- d, j, c mencari (cari)
mem- p (dissolves into “m”) memesan (pesan)
men- t (dissolves into “n”) menebang (tebang)

Examples :

l, m, n, r, w ==> me + base
lempar ==> melempar
minta ==> meminta

b, f, v ==> me + m
buat ==> membuat
buka ==> membuka
beri ==> memberi
bayar ==> membayar
bangun ==> membangun

c, d, j ==> me + n
coba ==> mencoba
cari ==> mencari
jaga ==> menjaga
jadi ==> menjadi
dengar ==> mendengar
dorong ==> mendorong
dapat ==> mendapat

p ==> me + m – p
pesan ==> memesan
panggil ==> memanggil
pilih ==> memilih

t ==> me + n – t
tarik ==> menarik
tunggu ==> menunggu
tutup ==> menutup
terima ==> menerima
turut ==> menurut
tolak ==> menolak

Adjectives 7 · 2020-11-06 ^

Adjectives 1

Kata sifat

If an adjective is modifying a noun, the adjective is placed after the noun.
In a noun phrase, the head noun comes first, followed by the adjectives and other modifiers of the noun.
Examples:
Minuman dingin. = Cold drink.
Saya suka kopi dingin = I like cold coffee.

Adjectives about quantity (sedikit, banyak) are placed before the noun.
Examples:
Saya punya sedikit gula. = I have a little bit of sugar.
Saya punya banyak buku. = I have many books.
Saya punya banyak kucing kecil. = I have many small cats.

An adjective can also function as a predicate.
Examples:
Kamu cantik. = You are beautiful.
Saya pendek dan kamu tinggi. = I am short and you are tall.
Kamu muda dan saya tua. = You are young and I am old.
Ini mudah, ini tidak sulit. = This is easy, this is not difficult.
Ini gampang, ini tidak susah. = This is easy, this is not difficult.


Please note that in the examples above, the Indonesian sentences don't use a verb.
The adjective is the predicate in these sentences.
The English sentences use the verb "to be" to connect the subject and predicate.

In other words, when translating these type of sentences from English to Indonesian, the verb "to be" is not translated.
The verb "to be" can be translated as 'adalah" or 'ada' in another context, but not in these sentences.

Examples:
You are beautiful.
Kamu ~~adalah/ada~~ cantik.
==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

This is easy, this is not difficult.
Ini ~~adalah/ada~~ gampang, ini ~~adalah/ada~~ tidak susah.
==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

Numbers 6 · 2020-09-03 ^

Numbers

Units Numbers Written Range
- 11 – 19 Belas Belasan
10s 10 – 90 Puluh Puluhan
100s 100 – 900 Ratus Ratusan
1000s 1000 – 9000 Ribu Ribuan

Since we're in Numbers, let's go for a bit of math. Imagine if Z is a number. Let's assume that Z is 4 (Z = 4). Note that you can only replace Z with numbers 1 to 9.

Mathematical Form Written Form Indonesian English
Z + 10 Z belas Empat belas Fourteen
Z x 10 Z puluh Empat puluh Forty
Z x 100 Z ratus Empat ratus Four hundred
Z x 1000 Z ribu Empat ribu Four thousand
Z x 10 x 1000 Z puluh ribu Empat puluh ribu Forty thousand
Z x 100 x 1000 Z ratus ribu Empat ratus ribu Four hundred thousand
Z x 1000 x 1000 Z juta Empat juta Four millions

The formula goes on even if the range widens. Easy, isn't it? Though, it should be noted that there is an exception for numbers that start with 1 (except 1 and 12 to 19) for they start with "se-" as the substitute of "satu" (one):

Range Number Indonesian English
Belas 11 Sebelas Eleven
Puluh 10 Sepuluh Ten
Ratus 100 Seratus A hundred
Ribu 1.000 Seribu A thousand

It should be noted, however, that it is acceptable to use "satu" instead of "se-" for numbers that start with 1 for ranges "Juta" (Million), "Miliar" (Billion), and above.

lusin = dozen.

selusin sama dengan dua belas.
one dozen equals twelve.

Adjective 2 8 · 2020-11-06 ^

Adjectives 2

Kata sifat

Like already mentioned in the other skill about 'adjectives', an adjective can have the following functions :
- Attributive function
- Predicative function
- Adverbial function

Attributive function:
If an adjective is modifying a noun, the adjective is placed after the noun.
In a noun phrase, the head noun comes first, followed by the adjectives and other modifiers of the noun.

The word order in a noun phrase [FN]:
(a) [FN] = noun + adjective + personal pronoun + determiner
(b) [FN] = noun + personal pronoun + 'yang' + adjective + determiner

(a) Kucing kecil saya itu = That small cat of mine.
(b) Kucing saya yang kecil itu = That small cat of mine.

Predicative function
An adjective can also function as a predicate:
Kamu cantik. = You are pretty.
Kamu lucu. = You are funny.
Kucingku nakal. = My cat is naughty.
Nenek sakit. = Grandmother is ill.
Tini sehat. = Tini is healthy.


Please note that in the examples above, the Indonesian sentences don't use a verb.
The adjective is the predicate in these sentences.
The English sentences use the verb "to be" to connect the subject and predicate.

In other words, when translating these type of sentences from English to Indonesian, the verb "to be" is not translated.
The verb "to be" can be translated as 'adalah" or 'ada' in another context, but not in these sentences.

Examples:
You are funny.
Kamu ~~adalah/ada~~ lucu.
==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

My cat is naughty.
Kucingku ~~adalah/ada~~ nakal.
==> 'adalah' / 'ada' cannot be used here.

Tini is healthy.

Family

Keluarga

This skill introduces the names of the family members.
Kakek = grandfather
Nenek = grandmother

Di-Verbs 10 · 2020-09-03 ^

Di- verbs

The di- prefix is used to make a verb passive. In an active sentence the subject does the verb, while in a passive sentence, the verb is done to the subject of the sentence.

Examples:

Active sentence Passive sentence
ID-1 Adikku mengambil dompetku. Dompetku diambil oleh adikku.
EN-1 My little sibling took my wallet. My wallet was taken by my little sibling.
ID-2 Mereka memakan nasi. Nasi dimakan mereka.
EN-2 They ate the rice. The rice was eaten by them”.
ID-3 Banyak orang mengenal Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift dikenal oleh banyak orang.

Examples:
1) Dompetku diambil (oleh) adikku.
2) Dompetku sudah diambil (oleh) adikku tadi pagi.
3) Dompetku sudah diambil tadi pagi oleh adikku.

In the first two sentences the 'di-' verb is followed directly by the agent/actor (the one performing the action).
'oleh' can be left out in such a sentence.
In the third sentence, the 'di-' verb is not directly followed by the agent/actor.
'oleh' cannot be left out in such a sentence.

Command 7 · 2020-09-03 ^

Command

The example sentences below use transitive me-verbs in the (+) declarative sentences.
When these (+) declarative sentences are converted into the (!) imperative mood, the me- prefix is dropped (the suffix remains in place).
In the imperative mood, '-lah' particle can be attached to soften the tone of the command.
Another way to soften the tone of the command is by using words as 'mohon', 'coba', 'tolong', 'silakan'.
The command will sound more like a polite question asking for help.

Examples:

(+) Kamu mengambil es teh.
(!) Ambil es teh !
(!) Ambillah es teh !
Get an iced tea !

(+) Kamu mengambilkan ibumu segelas es teh.
(!) Ambilkan ibumu segelas es teh !
(!) Ambilkanlah ibumu segelas es teh !
Get your mother an iced tea !

(+) Kamu menyelesaikan pekerjaanmu.
(!) Selesaikan pekerjaanmu !
(!) Selesaikanlah pekerjaanmu !
Finish your work !

(+) Kamu menjawab pertanyaan saya.
(!) Jawab pertanyaan saya !
(!) Jawablah pertanyaan saya !
Answer my question !

(+) Kamu melempar bolanya ke Tini.
(!) Lempar bolanya ke Tini !
(!) Lemparlah bolanya ke Tini !
Throw the ball to Tini !

Words like : 'coba', 'tolong', 'silakan' are often used to soften the tone of the command.

Coba panggil Tini ke sini !
Tolong panggil Tini ke sini !
Please call Tini over here !

Silakan masuk, Pak !
Please come in, Sir !

Silakan makan salju kuning, Pak !
Please eat yellow snow, Sir !

When asking somebody else to participate and join the action, the following words are used : 'ayo', 'mari'.

Ayo kita lompat dari jembatan !
Mari kita lompat dari jembatan !
Let us jump off the bridge !

Ayo makan salju kuning !
Mari makan salju kuning !
Let's eat yellow snow !

When ordering someone NOT to do something, the negation word 'jangan' is used.

Jangan lompat dari jembatan !
Don't jump off a bridge !

Jangan makan salju kuning !
Don't eat yellow snow !

Feelings 6 · 2020-11-07 ^

Feelings 1

Perasaan

Many of the words introduced in this skill are adjectives.
As a reminder, an adjective can function as a predicate in a sentence.
In other words, such a sentence doesn't use a verb.

Examples:
Saya bosan. = I am bored.
Saya kecewa. = I am disappointed.
Saya takut. = I am scared.


The following sentences use the same base words as above, but now the 'me-kan' affix is used.
(there is another skill that explains the use of this 'me-kan' affix)(see link below).

In the following sentences, the 'me-kan' verb has a 'causative' meaning.

Examples:
FIlm ini membosankan. = This movie is boring.
Film ini mengecewakan. = This movie is disappointing.
Film ini menakutkan. = This movie is scary.


In grammar terms:
[subject] [causes the base word] [to the direct object].
The subject [Film ini] is causing the feeling as expressed by the base word [membosankan] to the [direct opbject].
In the examples above, the [direct object] is implied and omitted:

FIlm ini membosankan [semua orang].
Film ini mengecewakan [semua orang].
Film ini menakutkan [semua orang].

Saya kecewa, karena film ini sangat membosankan.
I am disappointed, because this movie is very boring.

Me-kan Verbs 1 8 · 2020-11-07 ^

Me-kan verbs 1

The me-kan circumfix has two main functions: benefactive (when it is applied to a verb) and causative (when it is applied to an adjective).

Benefactive

Benefactive means doing something for someone else's benefit. In this case, the subject is doing the verb with the me-kan circumfix for the benefit of someone or something else.

Example:

  • Ibu membacakan dongeng untuk adik. Mother is reading a bedtime story for little sister.
  • Sarah mengantarkan kue untuk Budi. Sarah is delivering cookies for Budi.

Benefactive me-kan verbs are always transitive (needing direct objects!)

Causative

Causative means causing someone or something else to become or feel something. In this case, the me-kan circumfix is applied to an adjective. The subject is causing the object to feel or become the adjective with the me-kan circumfix.

Example:

  • Ani membangunkan Ibu. Ani wakes up Mother. (lit. Ani causes Mother to be awake.)
  • Siti membersihkan kamarnya. Siti cleans her room. (lit. Siti causes her room to be clean)
  • Adi menyusahkan orangtuanya. Adi disappoints his parents. (lit. Adi causes his parents to be disappointed)

In the following examples the object (everyone, everybody) is implied and left out.

  • Pesta ini membosankan. This party is boring.
  • Berita itu sangat menyedihkan. That news is very saddening.
  • Informasi ini membingungkan. This information is confusing.

The direct object (everyone, everybody) is implied and omitted.
In the examples above, the subject is causing everyone in general to feel or become an adjective (i.e. bored, sad, confused).
These verbs are often translated as an adjective.

Superlatives and Comparison 6 · 2020-11-07 ^

Superlatives and Comparison

Let's start with some examples:

Dimas lebih tinggi daripada Tono. = Dimas is taller than Tono.
Tini lebih pendek daripada Tono. = Tini is shorter than Tono.
Di antara mereka, Dimas yang tertinggi = Amongst them, Dimas is the tallest.

'lebih'.......'daripada' literally means 'more'.......'than' :

lebih penting daripada = more important than
lebih besar daripada = larger than
lebih kecil daripada = smaller than
lebih dalam daripada = deeper than

"ter-" prefix is used here to form the superlative ('most' / '-est').

terpenting = paling penting = most important.
terbesar = paling besar = largest
terkecil = paling kecil = smallest
terdalam = paling dalam = deepest

Di-kan 8 · 2020-09-03 ^

Di-kan verbs

The di-kan circumfix is the passive form of the me-kan. Like me-kan, the function of this circumfix can be benefactive or causative.

While for the me-kan circumfix we interpret benefactive as doing something for someone else's benefit, in this context the verb is being done to the subject for the benefit of someone or something else.

Examples:

Active sentence Passive sentence
ID-1 Ibu membacakan dongeng untuk adik. Dongeng dibacakan oleh Ibu.
EN-1 Mother is reading a bedtime story for little sister. A bedtime story is being read by Mother.
ID-2 Sarah mengantarkan kue untuk Budi. Kue untuk Budi diantarkan oleh Sarah.
EN-2 Sarah is delivering cookies for Budi. Cookies for Budi are delivered by Sarah.

For the causative function, di-kan is applied to an adjective. In this context, the subject is feeling or becoming the adjective thanks to the action of someone or something else.

Examples:

Active sentence Passive sentence
ID-1 Ani membangunkan Ibu. Ibu dibangunkan Ani.
EN-1 Ani wakes Mother up. Mother is being woken up by Ani.
ID-2 Siti membersihkan kamarnya. Kamarnya dibersihkan oleh Siti.
EN-2 Siti cleans her room. Her room is cleaned by Siti.

Examples:

1) Ibu dibangunkan (oleh) Ani.
2) Ibu dibangunkan (oleh) Ani tadi pagi.
3) Ibu sudah dibangunkan tadi pagi oleh Ani.

In the first two sentences the 'di-' verb is followed directly by the agent/actor (the one performing the action).
'oleh' can be left out in such a sentence.
In the third sentence, the 'di-' verb is not directly followed by the agent/actor.
'oleh' cannot be left out in such a sentence.

Additional info

This skill is about passive verbs and the passive voice.
Translations in the active voice are rejected.
