Want to talk in Bahasa Indonesia?

It's easy. No strict rule in tenses. No feminine or masculin words for noun that

are not direct-related to gender.

I'm not talking about how to talk Bahasa properly or how to talk bahasa that sounds

natural to native bahasa speaker. What I want to tell you is how to speak in bahasa

and still acceptable to its native speaker.

To talk in Bahasa, use your English structure but ignore "am", " is", "are",

"a", "an", "the" words and replace other English words (such as nouns or

verbs) with Bahasa words.

First of all, save the word-list below to your smart brain. {English} = {Bahasa}

I / me = aku

you = kamu

he/she / him/her = dia

they / them = mereka

we / us (I and you) = kita

we / us (I and other but not you) = kami

mine = punyaku / punya aku

yours = punyamu / punya kamu

3/4

- You are beautiful. => Kamu cantik.

- He is a teacher. => Dia guru.

- This is my bottle. => Ini botol-ku.- That is your car. => Itu mobil-mu.

- It is their house. => Ini rumah mereka.

- I love you. => Aku cinta kamu.

- I miss her. => Aku rindu dia.

- I hate them. => Aku benci mereka.

- I am eating. => Aku makan.- The dog is barking. => Anjing gonggong.

The sentences above is acceptable but if you really want to give stronger feeling

about continuous event, you can use "sedang" before verb:

- I am eating . => Aku sedang makan .

- The dog is barking . => Anjing sedang gonggong .

- You told me => Kamu beri tahu aku.

- He smiled at me => Dia senyum kepada aku.

The sentences above is acceptable but if you really WANT to give stronger feeling

about past event, you can use "pernah" or "sudah" before verb:

- You told me => Kamu pernah beri tahu aku. / Kamu sudah beri tahu aku.

- He smiled at me => Dia pernah senyum kepada aku.

Use akan to replace will and [am, is, are] going to.

- I will kill you. => Aku akan bunuh kamu.

- I will go to Bali. => Aku akan pergi ke Bali.

- I am going to Bali. => Aku akan pergi ke Bali.

English uses adjective -- pronoun /noun pattern and Bahasa uses pronoun /noun --

adjective. Look at the words which are underlined in the sentences below!

- That is ugly duck . => Itu bebekjelek .

- Crazy driver uses "his mouth" to hold the wheel. => Supir gila pakai "mulut-

nya" untuk pegang setir.


4/4

Imperative sentences:

- Kiss me! => Cium aku!

- Please give me some advice! => Tolong beri aku beberapa nasehat!

- Don't touch me! => Jangan sentuh aku!

How about plural noun? I think there are two ways to convert singular to plural.

1. Repeat the noun!

cars = mobil-mobil

books = buku-buku

chalks = kapur-kapur

students = murid-murid

teachers = guru-guru

Beware, there are also noun in Bahasa that are repeated but it is not in plural

form but singular.

butterfly = kupu-kupu

spy = mata-mata

2. Use word "banyak" before noun and "para" before pronoun!

cars = banyak mobil

books = banyak buku

students = para murid

teachers = para guru

butterflies = banyak kupu-kupu

spies = banyak mata-mata

Examples:

- I bought three cars. = Aku membeli tiga mobil-mobil.

- They are my students . = Mereka murid - murid - ku .
