KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES
Becky: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The key word for this lesson is..
Fira: bermain
Becky: meaning "to play."
Fira: This word is made up of the prefix ber-, which is the subject indicator, and the root word main, meaning "to play."
Becky: You can use this word when you’re referring to the idea of "play," from playing ball to playing the stock market. Can you give us an example using this word?
Fira: Sure. For example, you can say.. Saya suka bermain sepak bola.
Becky: ..which means “I like to play soccer.”
Fira: Saya suka means “I like to” and bermain is the verb meaning “to play”, so Saya suka bermain means “I like to play.” Then you can add sepak bola which means “soccer.” Saya suka bermain sepak bola.
Becky: And sometimes, this verb can be repeated.
Fira: That’s right. When this word is repeated, like bermain-main or main-main, it means “take something easy.”
Becky: For example?
Fira: If you want to say “Don’t take it too easy”, you can say Jangan main-main kamu! Jangan means “do not” main-main means “take it easy” and kamu is the pronoun meaning “you.” Once again - Jangan main-main kamu!
Becky: “Don’t take it too easy.” Okay, now onto the grammar.

Lesson focus

Becky: In this lesson you’ll learn how to express your feelings in Indonesian. There are two ways to express feelings or opinions in Indonesian. The first is by using a simple word. For example, to express pain in Indonesian you can say...
Fira: Aduh!
Becky: It’s like “Ouch!” in English. When something hurts, you can use this. Fira, can you give us a sample sentence?
Fira: Sure. Aduh! perutku sakit!
Becky: “Ouch! My stomach hurts!”
Fira: Aduh! means “Ouch”, perutku means “my stomach” and sakit is an adjective meaning “hurt.”
Becky: Okay. Next is a word for expressing regret.
Fira: Sayang!
Becky: This is something like “unfortunately” or “too bad.” For example, when there are no more tickets available for an event, you will hear.
Fira: Sayang, tiketnya sudah habis!
Becky: “Too bad, the tickets have sold out!”
Fira: Sayang means “unfortunately”, and tiketnya sudah habis means “tickets have sold out.”
Becky: This next one is my favorite word of the bunch. When you want to express your surprise, you can say..
Fira: Masa!
Becky: Which is something like “really?”
Fira: For example, you can say... Masa! Aku tidak percaya!
Becky: "Really? I don’t believe it!"
Fira: Aku tidak percaya literally means “I don’t believe” and it’s followed by the word masa, meaning “really.”
Becky: Okay. There’s another group of words that you can use for expressing your feelings in Indonesian as well - interjections. Let’s take a look at them one by one.
Fira: First, we have Au!
Becky: It’s something like “Ouch!” You can use it when you feel pain. Also, you can use this word,
Fira: Waw!
Becky: to show your surprise.
Fira: For example, you can say Waw! bagus sekali lukisan kamu.
Becky: “Wow! Your painting is very nice.” These are used quite a lot in Indonesian, so make sure to remember them.
