Lesson Transcript
| Halo semuanya, nama saya Fira. Hi everybody! I’m Fira. |
| Welcome to IndonesianPod101.com’s “Bahasa Indonesia dalam 3 menit”. The fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn Indonesian. |
| In the last lesson we learned how to count in Indonesian. I hope you spent some time practicing the numbers, because they will come in handy in this lesson. We’re going to learn how to go shopping in Indonesia! |
| Before we go, you need to know how to say “How much is it?” |
| Ini berapa harganya? |
| [slowly] Ini berapa harganya? |
| Are you ready to go shopping in Indonesia? Let’s go! |
| You see something you like and want to ask the shop clerk how much it costs. The first thing to say to a shop clerk is…permisi, do you remember what that means? "Excuse me!" |
| Permisi, ini berapa harganya? |
| [slowly] Permisi, ini berapa harganya? |
| If we want to be more specific when asking "how much is this?" and refer to a certain type of object, we need to drop the noun in front of the question. |
| For example, "hat" is Topi. |
| Permisi, topi ini berapa harganya? "Excuse me, how much is this hat?" |
| [slowly] Permisi, topi ini berapa harganya? |
| And “sandal” is Sendal |
| Permisi, Sendal ini berapa harganya? |
| "Excuse me, how much are these sandals?" |
| [slowly] Permisi, sendal ini berapa harganya? |
| At this point the shop clerk can answer by saying- |
| Ini harganya … |
| or Yang ini… |
| For example: |
| Ini harganya tigapuluh ribu rupiah! |
| or |
| Yang ini tigapuluh ribu rupiah! |
| What number is tigapuluh ribu? I’m not telling you! Okay, okay, it’s 30,000! "It costs 30,000 rupiahs." |
| Now it’s time for Fira’s Insights. |
| A quicker way to ask “How much?” is Berapa? For example when you ask for a coffee or kopi at the counter of a coffee shop, you can ask the cashier Pesan kopi dong, berapa? “One coffee please, how much is it?” |
| At this point, can you count rupiahs in Indonesian? We are going to learn how to do this and much more in the next lesson! |
| Ill be waiting for you in our next Bahasa Indonesia dalam 3 menit lesson. |
| Sampai Jumpa! |
