Cultural Insight
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Fira: If you want to answer negatively without being too direct, you can add the word terlalu after tidak. This means "I don't really." So if you want to say "I don't really like cars," it’s Saya tidak terlalu suka mobil.

Outro
Eric: And that’s all for this lesson. Don’t forget to check out the lesson notes, and we’ll see you in the next lesson!
Fira: Sampai jumpa lagi.
