Bahasa Indonesia / Indonesian Language |
|
Bahasa means language, and Bahasa Indonesia is the lingua franca of the archipelago. With over 350 native languages currently in use throughout the country, a good lingua franca is clearly necessary…
Pronunciation or spoken in Bahasa Indonesia usually not as lively as English, words in Bahasa Indonesia are pronounced pretty much as they are written. In comparison to European languages, the grammar is very simple.
It's good to speak a bit of the language of a country you are visiting, or at least understand commonly used expression or greetings - this will allow you to get better involved with the people and culture. It also helps to speak a bit of the language when bargaining for souvenirs in the tourism areas, as a little knowledge goes a long way to getting a better price!
Here are some common expressions you are bound to hear / see / be able to use:
Selamat datang = Welcome
Apa kabar? = How are you?
Selamat pagi = Good morning
Selamat siang = Good afternoon
Selamat malam= Good evening
Selamat makan = Have a nice meal
Selamat jalan = Have a nice trip / goodbye (if someone is leaving)
Selamat tinggal = Goodbye (if you are leaving)
Terima kasih = Thank you
Sama sama = Don't mention it
Tidak terima kasih = No thank you
Berapa harganya? = How much does it cost / what's the price?
Mahal! = Expensive!
Murah! = Cheap
Boleh tawar? = Can I bargain?
Harga pas = Fixed price
