| POST |
| Becky: Listen again to Indra's post. |
| Fira: Restoran ini suasananya enak sekali. |
| Becky: "This restaurant's atmosphere is very good." |
| Fira: (SLOW) Restoran ini suasananya enak sekali. (Regular) Restoran ini suasananya enak sekali. |
| Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "this restaurant." |
| Fira: Restoran ini |
| Becky: This expression indicates the topic of the rest of the sentence. Unlike English, you need to add a pronoun after a noun in Indonesian, so it literally means “restaurant this.” Listen again - "This restaurant" is... |
| Fira: (SLOW) Restoran ini (REGULAR) Restoran ini |
| Becky: Then comes the phrase "the atmosphere is very good." |
| Fira: Suasananya enak sekali |
| Becky: The first word has the particle… |
| Fira: -nya |
| Becky: ...which expresses possession. Therefore, it literally means “the atmosphere of very good.” Listen again - "The atmosphere is very good" is... |
| Fira: (SLOW) Suasananya enak sekali (REGULAR) Suasananya enak sekali |
| Becky: All together, it's "This restaurant's atmosphere is very good." |
| Fira: Restoran ini suasananya enak sekali. |
