LESSON 4

DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS

After learning about personal pronouns, then we’ll learn how to ask or to demonstrate something.

But, before we continue to next stage, i shall test to what you true have realized lesson that i have given previous.

If you see smile icon ( J ), it means that you have to say or pronounce the phrase.

say word under this, and look for to mean in english.

☺ Saya

I am sure that you have understand that

After a little test on a while ago, now we ready for next lesson. Where shall we discuss demonstrative pronouns

( Listen the pronunciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and try to speak them! )

(if you find (….’….) Open and read The Intoduction for learn how to spell characters in Indonesian)

Demonstrative pronouns

Example :

For asking about thing that you’re holding

“ini” means “this”

Ini (I’ni)

This

For asking about thing that’s in front of, far from you, or pointed toward by you.

“itu” means “that”

Itu (I’tu)

That

The next is that the word which something is intended to “ini” and “itu”

“Apa?” means “What?”

Ask about things and animals

Apa (A’pa)

What

“Siapa?” means “Who?”

Ask about people.

Now, let’s combine the previous words, become a question.

You ask about what a thing that you’re holding is.

“Apa ini?” means “What is this?”

Apa ini (A’pa I’ni)

What is this

You ask to someone who’s next to you.

“Siapa ini?” means “Who is this?”

Siapa ini? (Si’a’pa I’ni)

Who is this?

You ask about what a thing that’s in front of you is.

“Apa itu?” means “What is that?”

Apa itu? (A’pa I’tu)

What is that?

you ask, who is somebody laid at far

“Siapa itu?” means “Who is that?”

Siapa itu? (Si’a’pa I’tu)

Who is that?

Updated-additional knowledge for you.

“itu” is a qualifying word here.

In an Indonesia sentence the qualifying word comes after the noun it qualifies.

“itu” as an article refers to things, animals or persons that have been mentioned before.

The context will show whether “itu” is translated by “the” or by “that”.

If it is already understood which thing, animal or person is meant, we do not use the aeticle “itu”:

“that is the table” means “itu meja”

“table” means “meja”

Itu meja (I’tu Me’ja)

That is the table

Another example is

“The dog” or “That dog” means “anjing itu”

Anjing itu (an’jing I’tu)

The dog, that dog

“The driver” or “That driver” means “Supir itu”

Supir itu (Su’pir I’tu)

The driver, that driver

When you visit Indonesia, of course you want to buy something for your family, friend, or your copule, it’s called “oleh-oleh”, but you’ve to know how to ask the price of the things that you want to buy.

After that, while going toward a shop, and there’s a beautiful thing that attract you to buy it, and you’re eager to buy it. Say “how much is the price?, to ask the price.

You point toward a thing that’s showed in the shop window. You use article “Itu” or “That”.

We’ll take a necklace as an example.

“Berapa harga kalung itu?” means “How much is that necklace?”

“Berapa harga” means “How much”

Berapa harga (Be’ra’pa Har’ga)

How much

“Kalung” means “Necklace”

Kalung (Ka’lung)

necklace

“itu”, you still remember our previous subject, don’t you? It means “That”

“Berapa harga kalung itu?”

Berapa harga kalung itu? (Be’ra’pa Har’ga Ka’lung I’tu)

How much is that necklace?

We take an example that the thing is an earing.

“Berapa harga anting itu?” means “How much is that earring?”

However, if you’ve held that thing, you use “Ini” or “This”.

Let’s take a ring as an example.

“Berapa harga cincin ini?” means “How much is this ring?”

“Cincin” means “Ring”

Cincin (Cin’cin)

ring

“Ini”, you also still remember, means “This”.

Berapa harga cincin ini? (Be’ra’pa Har’ga Cin’cin I’ni)

How much is this ring?

(listen the pronounciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and then try to speak them!)

Kalung

Berapa harga Anting ini? / itu?

Cincin

After salesclerk understands which you want, may be there difference in goods whom you chose a while ago, can the colour, its for or the size.

For that be need adverb that can distinguish which you choose.

that relative pronoun “Yang”.

Yang (Yang)

Which

“Yang” has 3 uses.

1. “Yang’ is used to emphasize an adjective; especially when two adjectives follow the noun.

Example:

Kaos yang putih (Ka’os Yang Pu’tih)

The White shirt

Sepatu yang merah (Se’pa’tu Yang Me’rah)

The Red shoe

2. “Yang” has also the function of the English propword one, ones

Example:

Yang mana? (Yang Ma’na)

Which one?

Yang mana anda suka? (Yang Ma’na An’da Su’ka)

Which one do you like?

3. “Yang” can also be compared with the relative pronouon who, which, that

Example:

Kalung yang kamu pegang (Ka’lung Yang Ka’mu Pe’gang)

Necklace which you hold on

Roti yang kamu makan (Ro’ti Yang Ka’mu Ma’kan)

Bread which you’re eating

LESSON 3

PERSONAL PRONOUNS

Halo!

Senang berjumpa dengan kamu lagi!

Nice to meet you again!

If you see smile icon ( J ), it means that you have to say or pronounce the phrase.

I hope you’ve mastered the materials that were given yesterday. Now let’s try to go through it once again, here we go:

When you visit Indonesia, and you stay in hotel, you’ll meet the hotel receptionist. You should of course greet them and say goodbye.

You arrive in Indonesia at 08.00 am, you meet someone. What do you say?
…………………………..
You introduce yourself to him / her. How do you start it ?
……………………………
For keeping good relationship, it’s better if you ask how he / she is. How do you ask to him / her ?
……………………………
You’ll leave him / her. How do you say goodbye to him / her ?
……………………………

I’m sure that you’re able to answer some questions above.

We’re going to have such a short revision every lesson. While learning foreign languages it’s very important to make sure you remember all we’ve already learned.

Thanks to revisions you remember things better. And this is what we want, right?

Are you ready to learn the new things in Bahasa Indonesia?.

Ready!

Now let’s move on to our lesson. Today you’re going to learn about personal pronouns, demonstrative pronouns, and asking how much the price of a thing is.

First of all, we learn about personal pronouns. You already know all of them. They refer to people :

Person singular :

Ø I

Ø You

Ø She

Ø He

Ø It

Person plural :

Ø We

Ø You

Ø They

Lets star with the singular ones. We learned some of them on previous lessons.

( Listen the pronunciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and try to speak them! )

(if you find (….’….) Open and read The Intoduction for learn how to spell characters in Indonesian)

These are:

1^st person singular : I

“saya” means “I”

Saya (sa’ya)

Beside “saya” there is another word that has same meaning as “saya”, it’s “aku”

“aku” is used by children or among close relations.

Aku (a’ku)

2^st person singular : You

“Kamu” means “You”

Kamu (ka’mu)

You

When you meet someone at the formal event, preferably used to foreigner, you’re better using “Anda”

“Anda” means “You”

Anda (an’da)

You

Beside “kamu” and “anda” Indonesians use other words for the 2^nd person singular. This usually used for call or mention.

Example:

“Ayah” means “Father”

“Ayah” : Used for call the father.

Ayah (a’yah)

Father

“Ibu” means “Mother”

“Ibu” : used for call our mother. But “Ibu” also we can used for call our teacher (women) or a superior.

Ibu (I’bu)

Mother

“Bapak” have some meaning with “Father” and this also used for call our teacher (man).

“Bapak” have some meaning with “Mister”

Bapak (ba’pak)

Mister

“Paman” means “Uncle”

Paman (pa’man)

Uncle

“Bibi” means “Aunt”

Bibi (bi’bi)

Aunt

“Kakak” for call our elder brother or sister

Kakak (ka’kak)

Elder Brother

“Adik” for call our younger brother and sister.

Adik (a’dik)

Younger Brother

not only your state, in Indonesia also people a more regular mention the call directly mention or call its name.

The person’s name :

Angga

Shinta

Rama

These are all the singular pronouns. But there are also plural ones:

3^stPerson singular : he, she, it

In Indonesia “he, she, it” have some meaning, means “Dia”

“Dia” it refers to male and female persons.

Dia (di’a)

She, he, and it

1^st Person plural : we

“Kami” means “We”

“Kami” : when the person addressed is excluded

Kami (ka’mi)

“Kita” means “We”

“Kita” : when the person addressed is included

Kita (ki’ta)

2^st person plural : you

“Kalian” means “You”

“Kalian” is used to children, pupils and very close relations.

Kalian (ka’li’an)

You

In other cases we use:

Tuan-tuan (tu’an-tu’an)

Gentlemen

Nyonya-nyonya (nyo’nya-nyo’nya)

Ladies

Saudara-saudara (sau’da’ra-sau’da’ra)

Sisters and brother

3^stPerson plural : they

“Mereka” means “They”

Mereka (me’re’ka)

They

That way Iesson about personal pronouns.

Remember, always practice

Tried with somebody. Friend or your family.

Okey! It’s the end of lesson 3

LESSON 2

BOLEHKAH SAYA BERKENALAN ?

MAY I INTRODUCE ?

After learning about greetings and farewells in the previous lesson, I want to make myself sure that you’ve succeeded in mastering lesson 1. Now, say some phrases below :

If you see smile icon ( J ), it means that you have to say or pronounce the phrase.

J Selamat pagi !

J Selamat siang !

J Selamat sore !

J Selamat malam !

J Selamat tinggal !

J Sampai jumpa !

J Hati – hati !

J Selamat Tidur !

J Semoga berhasil !

GREAT JOB !!!, you get improvement in speaking Bahasa Indonesia.

Let’s continue our lesson! After learning about greeting, we need to learn about introduction in Bahasa Indonesia. Of course it’s necessary when we want to introduce ourselves or want to introduce to Indonesian people. When we meet ‘stranger’ at the first time, what information do we want to know most ? Great !!! They’re name, address, origin, aren’t they?.

In Lesson 2, I’ll learn you about introduction. It contains of how to introduce ourselves, and how to ask about someone’s name, address, origin. At the end of this lesson, I’ll give you a short introduction conversation, and I hope you can use it when you meet Indonesian people as the first step in making good relationship.

Let’s start learning !

First of all, it’s better if you ask people to whom you want to introduce whether you may introduce to them or not.

What will you say ?

( Listen the pronunciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and try to speak them! )

(if you find (….’….) Open and read The Intoduction for learn how to spell characters in Indonesian)

Bolehkah saya berkenalan ? (bo’leh’kah-sa’ya-ber’ke’na’lan)

May I introduce ?

Silahkan! (si’lah’kan)

Yes, please!

Boleh. (bo’leh)

Yes, you may.

Tentu ! (ten’tu)

Of course !

Tidak boleh ! (ti’dak-bo’leh)

No, you may not.

“bolehkah” means “may”.

“saya” means “I”.

“berkenalan” means “introduce”

For the answers, “Silahkan !”, “Boleh”, “Tentu !” are the positive answers and you’re allowed to introduce to them.

But, if the answer is “ Tidak boleh !”, it means that you’re not allowed to introduce to them.

After that, we need to ask about someone’s condition or feeling.

Apa kabar ? (a’pa-ka’bar)

How do you do ? or How are you ?

Bagaimana kabar kamu ? (ba’gai’ma’na-ka’bar-ka’mu)

How do you do ? or How are you ?

“Apa kabar ?” has same meaning as “Bagaimana kabar kamu ?”.

“kamu” means “you”.

In English, two phrases above mean “How do you do ?” and “How are you ? ”

For attention, in English, “How do you do ?” and “How are you ? ” have same meaning, but have different function.

“How do you do ?” is used when you meet new person.

on the other hand, “How are you ? ” is used when you meet your old friend.

But, in Bahasa Indonesia, there is no different to ask someone’s condition or feeling when you meet people whether they are new or old people in your life,

just ask them with question : “Apa kabar?” or “Bagaimana kabarmu ?”.

Now, how to answer that question ?

Kabar saya baik. (ka’bar-sa’ya-ba’ik)

I am fine.

Saya sehat. (sa’ya-se’hat)

I feel good.

Baik. (ba’ik)

Fine, good

Two phrases above are used while we’re in good condition or feeling.

In this context, to be ( am, is, are, was, were, been) in English that is followed by noun and adjective, doesn’t have meaning and function in Bahasa Indonesia. Therefore, “Saya” can be meant as “I” and “ I am ”

At the first phrase, "baik” means “fine”.

At the second phrase, “sehat” means “good”.

The third phrase is the shortest answer. In this case, “baik” has 2 meanings in English, they are “fine” and “good”.

Funny, right!. Now, let’s try to answer some phrases below. The answers are in the brackets.

Apa kabar ?

J ( Kabar saya baik )

Bagaimana kabar kamu ?

J ( Baik )

Apa kabar ?

J ( Saya sehat )

Ok. So far, is there any progress in mastering Bahasa Indonesia ?. Wow, amazing!!!.

Let’s continue our lesson. Now, we’ll start learning how to ask someone’s name, address, and origin.

Nama kamu siapa? (na’ma-ka’mu-si’a’pa)

What is your name ?

Siapa kamu ? (si’a’pa-ka’mu)

Who are you ?

Those questions use for asking someone’s name. How will you answer it ?

Nama saya Billy (na’ma-sa’ya-billy)

My name is Billy

Saya Billy. (sa’ya-billy)

I am Billy

“Saya” as I’ve explained before, can be meant as “I”, and “ I am ”.

For an additional note, “My ” that is possessive pronoun for subject “ I ” in English, also means “saya”.

Therefore, “nama saya” means name whose person belongs to.

Explore some phrases below.

( Listen the pronunciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and try to speak them! )

Dimana rumahmu ? (di’ma’na-ru’mah’mu)

Where is your house ?

Dimanakah tempat tinggalmu ? (di’ma’na’kah-tem’pat-ting’gal’mu)

Where do you live ?

Dimana alamatmu ? (di’ma’na-a’la’mat’mu)

Where is your address ?

The phrases above are used for asking address.

“Dimana” is same as “Dimanakah”, that means “where”.

“rumah” means “house”.

“tempat tinggal” is an idiom of “rumah”, so, “tempat tinggal” is the same as “house”.

Let’s pay attention to word “tinggalmu” and “alamatmu”.

“mu” stands for “kamu”.

“kamu” means “ you”.

So, 2 phrases above can be :

Dimanakah tempat tinggalmu ? à Dimanakah tempat tinggal kamu ?

Dimana alamatmu ? à Dimana alamat kamu ?

Now, try to answer those questions.

Saya tinggal di Jalan Kanguru nomor 23, Jokjakarta.

(sa’ya-ting’gal-di-ja’lan-kang’gu’ru-no’mor-23-jog’ja’kar’ta)

I live at 23 Kanguru St., Jokjakarta.

Saya tinggal di Jalan Kanguru. (sa’ya-ting’gal-di-ja’lan-kang’gu’ru)

I live on Kanguru St.

Saya tinggal di Jokjakarta. (sa’ya-ting’gal-di-jog’ja’kar’ta)

I live in Jokjakarta.

Alamat saya adalah jalan Kanguru Nomor 23, Jokjakarta.

(a’la’mat-sa’ya-a’da’lah-ja’lan-kang’gu’ru-no’mor-23-jog’ja’kar’ta)

My address is at 23 Kanguru St., Jokjakarta.

“tinggal” means “live”.

“alamat” means “address”.

“alamat saya” means “my address”.

Number “23” in Bahasa Indonesia, can be read “dua puluh tiga”.

Now, try to say “dua puluh tiga”……. (du’a-pu’luh-ti’ga)

Do you know why I write Italic for preposition at, on, in ?

In English, preposition “at” is followed by complete address including street, number, city, floor number, country, etc.

Then, preposition “on” is only followed by street name.

The last is preposition “in”, it’s only followed by region name, such as : city, province, or country.

But in Bahasa Indonesia, “at”, “on”, “in” have same meaning that is “di”.

After word “di”, it can be followed by complete address, or street name only, or city only, moreover country only.

So far… do you feel confused ?. I’m sure you don’t.

Now, let’s move on !

( Listen the pronunciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and try to speak them! )

Darimana kamu berasal ? (da’ri’ma’na-ka’mu-ber’a’sal)

Where do you come from ?

“Darimana” contains of 2 words that are combined to be one word.

The words are derived from “dari” and “mana”

“dari” means “from”

“mana” stand for “dimana”, we’ve learned the meaning before, it means “where”.

So, “darimana” can be meant as “where…….from”.

“kamu”, you know the meaning exactly, don’t you?, it means “you”.

“berasal” can be meant as “come”.

How to answer that question ?

( Listen the pronunciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and try to speak them! )

Saya berasal dari Jakarta. (sa’ya-ber’a’sal-da’ri-ja’kar’ta)

I come from Jakarta.

Do you still remember the meaning of “berasal” and “dari”, right ?

Tentu ! (of course). We’ve already discussed it. Look at above !

How about “saya” ? Do you know the meaning ? Good answer !!!

“saya” means “I”.

For the closing, there are some phrases that can be said.

Baiklah ! (ba’ik’lah)

Okey !

Senang berkenalan dengan kamu. (se’nang-ber’ke’na’lan-de’ngan-ka’mu)

Nice to meet you.

Begitu juga dengan saya. (be’gi’tu-ju’ga-de’ngan-sa’ya)

Nice to meet you too.

Terima kasih. (te’ri’ma-ka’sih)

Thank You.

For practicing, I’ll give you a short conversation about introduction. You have to practice it immediately. If you forget how to say the phrases, you can review all the materials that I’ve given. Ask people around you as your partner.

A : Halo, boleh saya berkenalan ?

B : Tentu.

A : Nama saya David. Nama kamu siapa ?

B : Saya Michell.

A : Dimana rumahmu ?

B : Saya tinggal di jalan kanguru nomor 23, Jokjakarta.

A : Darimana kamu berasal ?

B : Saya berasal dari Jakarta.

A : Baiklah. Senang berkenalan dengan kamu.

B : Begitu juga dengan saya.

A : Terima kasih. Sampai jumpa.

B : Sampai jumpa.

Okey! It’s the end of lesson 2.

Struggle to master it. You can do it…. Don’t forget to review all the materials that I’ve given to you.

See you in the next lesson…..

LESSON 1

SALAM

( Greetings )

Hi… Welcome to Bahasa Indonesia world !!!

First of all, let me introduce myself. Nama saya Mr. Zecky. Could you guess what I said ?. Yup !!! My name is Zecky. I always use “ Learning by playing ” method in teaching in order to not make bored in my class. Through this site, I’ll try to teach you about learning Bahasa Indonesia. By learning Bahasa Indonesia with me, you’ll see how funny, simple, and easy Bahasa Indonesia is. I’m sure you’ll feel comfort and relax while you’re learning it.

This site will contain of many lessons where each lesson will be given by different topics. Also, this site will offer a lot of exercises in different types in each lesson. Don’t be confused with the pronunciation, this site will teach you.

If you see smile icon ( J ), it means that you have to say or pronounce the phrase.

So, don’t waste your time !

Before start the lesson, you must read The Introduction and learn how to spell characters in Indonesian

Lets’s start lesson 1….

Bahasa Indonesia is a language of Indonesia. It is simple and easy. It doesn’t make us confused because there is no different tenses usage.

In Lesson 1, I’ll introduce you with greetings and farewells in Bahasa Indonesia. In Indonesia, it’s more polite if we say greeting when we meet people whom we’ve known before, particularly older than us. Saying greeting shows that we know and respect to them. Aside that, it also shows our hospitality.

Now, Let’s check them out !

( Listen the pronunciations carefully, practice them by yourself, and try to speak them! )

(if you find (….’….) Open and read The Intoduction for learn how to spell characters in Indonesian)

Halo ! (ha’lo)

Hello !

Selamat pagi ! (se’la’mat-pa’gi)

Good morning!

Selamat siang ! (se’la’mat-si’ang)

Good afternoon !

Selamat sore ! (se’la’mat-so’re)

Good afternoon !

Selamat malam ! (se’la’mat-ma’lam)

Good evening !

I hope you are not confused with our first greetings subject in Bahasa Indonesia above. Have you seen something different in meaning Good Afternoon ?. Yup!!! In Bahasa Indonesia, afternoon has 2 different meanings, they are siang and sore. How can you differ them ? They depend on the time. We can say siang when the time is between 10.00 am to 2.59 pm, and sore is between 03.00 pm to 06.00 pm.

Some greetings phrases above are used for greeting people whom we met. Now, we’ll learn about farewell. It’s also necessary to be said before taking separate each other.

Selamat tinggal ! (se’la’mat-ting’gal)

Good Bye !

Sampai jumpa lagi! (sam’pai-jum’pa-la’gi)

See you again !

“Sampai jumpa lagi!” can also be meant as “see you later”, “see you soon”, and “see you next time”.

You also can say goodbye with adverb of time, when you’re going to meet him/her again.

Explore some phrases below!

Sampai jumpa (lagi) minggu depan ! (sam’pai-jum’pa-la’gi-ming’gu-de’pan)

See you (again) next week !

“lagi” has the same meaning as “again”. It can be used or not.

In fact, word “minggu” has 2 different meanings. Generally, “minggu” means “Sunday”. However, in this context, because 1 week ( 7 days ) is called “seminggu”, it’s shorter to be “minggu”.

And for word “depan” means “next”. It’s also meant as “in front of”.

The basic form to say goodbye with adverb of time is :

SAMPAI JUMPA (LAGI) + adverb of time

Some adverb of time that can be used are :

“besok” means “tomorrow”,

“bulan depan” means “next month”,

“tahun depan” means “next year”.

SAMPAI JUMPA ( LAGI ) +

Ø + besok

Ø + minggu depan

Ø + bulan depan

Ø + tahun depan

Additional Note :

” bulan” means ”month”.

“ tahun” means “year”.

Also, there are a lot adverbs of time such as days name, time, and how long you’re going to meet him again, for example : 2 days again, 2 months again, etc. Wanna know more ? First of all, you need to learn about days, time, and also number. Of course, we’ll discuss it in the specific topic that will be given on the other lesson. So, don’t miss it!.

Okay! Let’s continue.

There are some common farewell phrases that ‘s usually said. Here they are.

Hati – hati ! (ha’ti-ha’ti)

Take care!

Semoga berhasil ! (se’mo’ga-ber’ha’sil)

Good luck !

Selamat belajar! (se’la’mat-be’la’jar)

Happy studying !

Semoga perjalanan kamu menyenangkan !

(se’mo’ga-per’ja’la’nan-ka’mu-me’nye’nang’kan)

Have a nice traveling !

Semoga hari kamu menyenangkan ! (se’mo’ga-ha’ri-‘ka’mu-me’nye’nag’kan)

Have a nice day !

Some phrases above are usually said after saying goodbye and we’ll take separate them. Aside that, there are also farewell phrases that’s said before going to the bed.

Selamat tidur! (se’la’mat-ti;dur)

Good night!

Mimpi indah! (mim’pi-in’dah)

Have a nice dream !

Tidur yang nyenyak! (ti’dur-yang-nye’nyak)

Sleep tight!

Okay, friends!. We’ve learned how to say greetings and say goodbye. Are you confused ?. of course not, right!

To master the materials that have been already given, review all the materials, listen the pronunciations carefully ( replay if it’s necessary for you), practice them by yourself, try to pronounce it, and speak it loudly.

Now, for practicing, try to say greetings and farewells to your your family or your friends. Make a short conversation in Bahasa Indonesia.
