Hello Katabah!
This
post can be benefit for you who are learning Indonesian language or English.
Let’s practice with my diary about learning Indonesian in practice and easy
ways.
This
morning, I listen to television: “Cintailah produk-produk Indonesia!” It’s an
advertisement message.
How
to speak the expression in English?
Let
me say: “Love Indonesian products!”
Let
us see its explanation at a glance!
Word
“cintailah” comes from “mencintai” (to love). So, “cintailah” means “love!”
(order/command).
Word
“produk-produk” (products) is plural. Its singular is “produk” (product).
One
sentence more,
In
Indonesian: “Saya lapar.”
In
English: “I am hungry” or “I’m hungry”.
Word
“saya” is subject. It means “I”. In Indonesian, “saya” has a synonym, that is
“aku”. But, we also often hear slanks of word “saya” on television, those are
“ane” and “gue”. Therefore, “saya, aku, ane and gue” can be translated into
“I”.
OK.
That’s all. Happy learning and practicing Indonesian!
