Learning Bahasa Indonesia 1

Hey guys, I think if you wanna come to a new country, at least you should learn a little bit about the language. I will share to some simple sentences in bahasa Indonesia. I think the sentences I will tell you will be important and useful for foreign people who first come to Indonesia. Happy learning!! :)

  • Thank you : Terima kasih / makasih (like thanks)
  • You're welcome : Sama-sama / Terima kasih kembali
  • This part is for call someone you first meets.
    • For man who looks old (maybe married guy) : Pak
    • For woman who looks old : Bu
    • For man : Mas (for elder than you), Dek (for younger than you)
    • For woman : Mbak (For elder than you), Dek (for younger than you)
    • For general man a woman elder than you but not old person : Kakak / kak (like bro/sist)
  • This part is for greeting :
    • Hello! : halo!
    • Hi! : Hai!
    • Good morning : Selamat pagi!
    • Good afternoon : Selamat siang!
    • Good evening : Selamat sore!
    • Good night : Selamat malam!
    • Good bye! / bye! : Selamat tinggal! / Sampai jumpa! (if you meet that person soon)
  • Be careful : Hati-hati!
  • Welcome! : Selamat datang!

That's all for now, I hope those simple sentences I gave you will be helpful.
