Basa-Basi dengan Orang Lokal

(Small Talks with Locals)

Indonesian people are well-known to be friendly and they smile a lot. You will feel welcome
once you step your feet on the country of tens of thousands islands. They won’t hesitate to greet
you mister or ma’am from the side of the road with their hands waving at you, and a genuine
smile on their face. When you are in contact with them, usually this small talk will arise.

 Grammar Note: Unit 1

1. “Siapa nama kamu?”

Siapa actually means “who” when translated to English. We use this question word to
ask questions to do with a person, such as a person's name, who a person is, or to
whom an object belong to.

2. “Nama saya Toni”

Saya in this context plays role as a possessive pronoun “my”. As you noticed, the
possessive pronoun is placed after the Noun. It becomes “Name my” if translated
directly. More example:
Buku dia: His book
Motor kamu: your motorcycle

3. “Sedikit aja”
Literally it means: Just a little. Most of the time, the word “aja” is put at the end of the
referred sentence. More example:

Lurus aja: Just go straight:

Coba aja: Just try.

4. “Oh, bagus!”
Bagus means good. This adjective is used mainly for a) describing the look/appearance
of situation/things/place; b) to describe a good quality of situation/things (not food or
drink). For example:

a) Baju kamu bagus: Your clothes is good/nice.

b) Ini barang bagus: This is good stuff.

10 | P a g e
5. “Sudah berapa lama disini?”
Direct translation is “already long here?’. We don’t have tenses (present, past or
perfect), but we use adverbs to indicate the time things happen. Sudah is an indication
similar to ‘have been/had’ and used as a sign of completion. Also, we don’t have
auxiliary verbs such as ‘do/does’. For instance:

a) Tinggal dimana? (Where live?) → we drop “do you”

6. “Pantainya bagus sekali (informal: banget)”

When translated literally, it means “Beach the good very”. ‘Sekali/Banget’ plays role as
an adverb and it’s to be put after the adjective. For example:
a) Very good: Bagus banget/sekali (good very)
b) Very cheap: murah banget/sekali (cheap very)

 UNIT 2
Makan di Restoran

(At the restaurant)

Locals love to eat in a “warung”. It is a type of small family-owned business and often a casual
eatery that serves local food. One typical food is called ‘Nasi Campur’ - an Indonesian dish of a
scoop of nasi putih (white rice) accompanied by small portions of a number of other dishes,
which includes meats, vegetables, peanuts, eggs or any dish you wish to mix in the portion.

 Grammar Note: Unit 2

1. “Untuk berapa orang?”

Berapa is used as a question word that ask everything that’s related to numbers: age,
time, height, weight, quantity and price.

2. “Silakan”
Silakan is translated as ‘please’. However, we have different words for ‘please’
depending on the intention of the speaker. Silakan is used when the speaker offers
somebody something. In this context, the waiter offers the customer to see the menu
first.

3. “Mau minum apa?”

Apa means ‘what’ and it is put at the end of the sentence and/or after the noun, to ask
the type or details of the referred noun (open question). In this context, the waiter asks
what (type) drink does the customer want. If we put ‘apa’ at the beginning of the
interogative sentence, it will be a yes/no question.

4. “Saya mau kelapa muda pakai es”

The word ‘pakai’ literally means ‘to use or to wear’. However, in this context, it can be
understood as ‘with’ → “I’d like young coconut with ice”. This ‘with’ function can only be
used in the context of F&B.

 Grammar Note: Lesson 4

1. “Yang ini masih baru”

‘Yang ini’ means this one. We can also say ‘yang itu’ which mean ‘that one’.

2. “900 aja”
Sometimes in spoken form, we would omit the ‘ribu’ only when both speakers know
already the referred context (both are talking about a price in thousands: ‘ribu’ from the
beginning).

3. “Ini motor lama” (This is old scooter)

When translated literally, it means “this scooter old”. To form a Noun Phrase with the
combination of adjective and noun, such as “old scooter”, we always put Noun in the
beginning and then followed by adjective. For more example:
a) Expensive scooter: motor mahal (scooter expensive)
b) Spicy fried rice: nasi goreng pedas (rice fried spicy)

 Grammar Note: Lesson 6

1. “Jam 6 sore”
To say this in English, we’d say: at 6 P.M. The word ‘jam’ in the beginning plays role
equally as ‘at’ and we say ‘sore’ as indicator that it happens in the afternoon, not in the
morning. We divide the day into four:
● Pagi [morning] → until 11 AM
● Siang [noon] → until 3 PM
● Sore [afternoon] → until 6 PM
● Malam [evening] → from 7 PM

2. “Pacarku boleh ikut?”

-ku is a contraction form of a possessive pronoun ‘Aku’ (I/my). Pacarku means ‘my
boyfriend’. Another form of contraction is when you say “your…”. In this case, we use -
mu from the word ‘kamu’. For instance, your friend → temanmu. To say his/her, we
use “-nya” derived from the pronoun dia. Take for example, her friend → temannya.

 Grammar Note: Lesson 7

1. “Warnanya apa saja?”

-nya in this case is a possessive pronoun of his/her in contraction. From dia →
contracted as -nya. However, in this context, the seller is not asking about his/her
children in third person. Sometimes, people in Indonesia use -nya (in third person) to
replace the function of the second person possessive pronoun (kamu/-mu) to sound
more polite; unless there is a third person involved in the situation and is clearly pointed
out.

2. “Warnanya apa saja?”

We add the word ‘saja’ after the question word (in this case ‘ apa’) when the answer is
expected to be in plural. We can translate this as: “What (kinds of) colors?”. Compare
with the following sentence which only require one answer: “Warna apa?” → “What
color?”. Here are more examples:
● Baju apa saja? → What (kinds of) clothes?
● Ukuran apa saja? → What are the (available) sizes?

 Grammar Note: Lesson 8

1. “ATMnya ada di sebelah kanan jalan”

The contraction -nya in this case, it means “the” (not derived from a possessive pronoun
dia - which is another function of ‘nya’). So, ‘The ATM’ is then translated as “ATMnya”.
Here are a few example of the use of ‘nya’ as ‘the’:

● Ada tandanya: There is the sign.

● Nasi gorengnya enak: The fried rice is delicious.
● Berapa harganya?: How much is the price?

 Grammar Note: Lesson 9
1. “Ma’af aku lagi sakit”

The word “lagi” is an indicator word that we use to talk about things happening at the

moment of speaking (present continuous tense). In Bahasa Indonesia, we don’t have

any conjugation that changes the word form according to the time (past, present or

future). We simply add indicator word such as: kemarin (yesterday), hari ini (today), or

besok (tomorrow). Another examples:

● Aku lagi baca buku: I am reading a book.

● Dia lagi di kantor: He is (at the moment) in the office.

2. “Sudah ke dokter?”

Please see Grammar note lesson 8 no 1. The word “sudah” is an indicator word

showing that something is/has been completed. When translated to English, sudah
means already. Here are more examples:

● Aku sudah makan: I (already) ate.

● Mereka sudah bayar: They already paid.

3. “Tapi besok mau kesana”

Although mau means ‘want’, it can also mean ‘will’ in future context. In spoken words,

we rarely say ‘akan’ (will) as it sounds too formal, therefore, we use ‘mau’ more often for

future plan.
● Dia besok mau sewa motor: He wants/will rent a scooter tomorrow.
● Kalau tidak sibuk, aku mau bikin PR: When I’m not busy, I will do the homework.

4. “Diminum setelah makan”

If you see a VERB accessorised with a prefix [di-], it is a PASSIVE voice/form. Diminum

means then ‘to be taken’. The literal meaning for minum is to drink, however, in English

we would say ‘to take a medicine’ (minum obat) in this context. More examples for

passive form are:

● Motor itu disewa: That scooter is rented.

● Baju itu diambil oleh pembeli lain: That clothes are taken by another buyer.
