Hi!!! Hello!!! And Halo in Indonesia!!!
Hello guys, how are you again?
I always have a passionate to share new knowledge to you
trough this blogspot. In this time, I would like to sharing about my language
yuhuuu….
So, language, sound interesting for you now? As we know
language is an important thing for us to communicate with people around you
including your family, friends, girlfriend or boyfriend obviously. Well,
because Indonesia is a development country, our language not really use for
some countries, but for your Information, there is a school in Australia has an
Indonesia subject, awesome!!!
For me, Indonesia is an unique language, why? Because we use
alphabet same as English language as well but our structure has a big
differences, for the example, we don’t have a structure like English, we don’t
have irregular verbs, and the most unique thing is, we don’t have designation
between girl and boy, so we usually know them by name.
Okay then, let’s jump to our lesson. Let’s start it with
some basics language in Indonesia

In Indonesia

Good Morning (From 03.00 am –
11.00 am)
|
Selamat Pagi
|
--------------------------
|
Selamat Siang (11.00 am – 03.00
pm)
|
Good Afternoon / Evening
(03.00 pm - 06.00 pm)
|
Selamat Sore
|
Good Night / Night
|
Selamat Malam
|
*Note :
·
Do not be wonder, if there is no word in
English, for Selamat Siang. It is because in Indonesia there is four greeting
from Morning until Night.
·
However when you find good in every greeting
that I put, usually good in Indonesia language used to express good wishes.
·
Also, when you find “selamat” word, in Indonesia
language could be for congratulation, which is has a meaning “selamat.” So,
good can be for greeting = selamat, and for another meaning, selamat is able
for congrat someone.
For your information, because Indonesia people are polite
and friendly, we usually have a nickname for the older people. It’s actually
same in English too, but as we know when you call older people with their name,
there is a common thing for people who live in Europe, America, and something
like that. Okay, let me show you how to call older people for Indonesia culture
;
1. Mrs :
Ibu è
For short way, you can call “Bu”
2. Mr. :
Bapak è
For short way, you can call “Pak”
Additional Information : If you are in the public area, or
street, or wanna buy something in a shop or market, or maybe you need some help
and have no idea about their name, you can call them like this :
1.
Miss :
Mbak
2.
Mr. :
Mas
For general nickname Miss / Mr. you can call them with è Kakak, for shotly way
you can call them “Kak”
Now let’s go to subject in Indonesia :
