POST
Becky: Listen again to Indra's post.
Fira: Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai.
Becky: "Forget about work; let's relax on the beach."
Fira: (SLOW) Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai. (Regular) Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai.
Becky: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "forget about work."
Fira: lupakan pekerjaan
Becky: You can use this pattern to give a direction or instruction. Like in this context, you can use it to say something to yourself. Listen again - "forget about work" is...
Fira: (SLOW) lupakan pekerjaan (REGULAR) lupakan pekerjaan
Becky: Then comes the phrase "let's relax on the beach."
Fira: mari kita santai di pantai
Becky: In Indonesian, there is a famous expression which literally means “relax just like on the beach.”
Fira: Santai kayak di pantai
Becky: People use this expression often because they also like the rhyme. You can use it to mean “relaxing on a vacation,” even if you are not going to the beach but to mountains or somewhere else. Listen again - "let's relax on the beach" is...
Fira: (SLOW) mari kita santai di pantai (REGULAR) mari kita santai di pantai
Becky: All together, it's "Forget about work; let's relax on the beach."
Fira: Lupakan pekerjaan, mari kita santai di pantai.
