Module 5
An Interview for a Job
The main aim of Module 5 is to provide you with the vocabulary, sentence shells and cultural
skills that will enable you to talk about education and work, ask and answer questions about
these topics, and express a variety of opinions about them. The module will also help you consolidate the skill studied in Module 4 of engaging in debate. By reading a short story and a number
of shorter reading passages you will make a start on the development of reading skills.
There is special emphasis in the module on gaining a command of verbs that begin with the
me- prefix. You will learn the names of occupations and subjects of study. You will also get more
practice in expressing opinions and preferences. The module provides some basic information
about Indonesia’s education system. It will show you how to use an Indonesian dictionary and
how to format a business letter. You will also learn how to pronounce the letters of the alphabet
and you will get to know a number of very commonly used abbreviations.
In the culminating role play you will practise taking part in an interview for a job.

An Overview of Indonesian Verbs
Probably no feature of Indonesian is more difficult for foreign learners
than verbs, so at this point we are going to pause to take stock of what
has already been presented on verbs, and we will add more information
about them.
The discussion that follows is a little technical in places, but don’t
worry if you don’t take it all in at first reading. It is given here more for
the sake of completeness than because it is absolutely essential for
mastering the language. After all, there are well over 200 million Indonesians who speak their language perfectly, mostly without any self-aware knowledge of its grammar, and in theory you can
too. Nevertheless, many students of Indonesian do find that an understanding of the grammatical
system can sometimes help improve fluency, correctness and expressiveness. But knowledge of
the grammatical system of a language can only complement and never substitute for accurate imitation of models and memorable repetition as tools for the attainment of practical correctness
and fluency.
You have already noticed that words in Indonesian are either single, indivisible forms (single
morphemes or free morphemes) that stand on their own and don’t change their form, or they are
“divisible” and can be broken up into a base word and one or more affixes (multiple morphemes).
Lesson 60
Some examples of the former category — the “nude” words of Indonesian — are:
mau, makan, rumah, kuning, pandai, telepon, mobil, pensil, komputer
Examples of the latter category — the “clothed” words of Indonesian — are:
berjalan, makanan, buah-buahan, membaca, perpustakaan, menarik
The words above belong to various parts of speech: nouns, verbs and adjectives. In this lesson
we are looking for the moment at verbs only.
So far you have met three kinds of verb:
1. Helper verbs or auxiliary verbs
These are verbs that sometimes occur on their own, but more usually occur immediately in
front of another verb. They function to give an extra dimension of meaning to the second verb, especially by showing some aspect of how the doer of the action does the action or relates to the
action expressed in the second verb. Examples of helper verbs are:
dapat, suka, boleh, bisa, mau, mulai, ingin, harus, ikut, pandai
Helper verbs have only one form, and they never change form. So they are “nude” words, or
single indivisible morphemes.
Study these examples. The helper verbs are in italics.
Kami suka makan di Rumah Makan Kartika.
We like eating at the Kartika Restaurant.
Apakah Ibu Prawoto ikut makan nanti malam?
Is Mrs Prawoto going to join us for dinner tonight?
Maaf, saya kurang pandai menulis dalam bahasa Cina.
Sorry, I’m not really very good at writing in Chinese.
Mereka tidak dapat datang.
They can’t come.
Biasanya mahasiswa tidak mau masuk kuliah pada malam hari.
Students don’t usually want to follow lectures at night.
Saya sudah mulai belajar Ilmu Kimia.
I have begun to study Chemistry.
2. Intransitive verbs.
I suppose you could say that an intransitive verb is one that “looks back” in the sense that it
relates back to the doer of the action and not to anyone or anything else. In other words it signifies an action that is done by someone or something, but it is not done to anyone or anything. An
example of an intransitive verb in English is the verb “to die”. You can say:
“She died.”
But you cannot say:
*“She died her husband.”
Intransitive verbs take several forms in Indonesian. Some are single morphemes, others have
prefixes. Some examples of single-morpheme intransitive verbs are:
Lesson 60
setuju, mandi, tidur, bangun, pergi, datang, terbang, masuk, duduk, kawin
Other intransitive verbs consist of a base word plus an affix. The most common affix on intransitive verbs is the prefix ber-, in fact most (but not all) words that have a ber- prefix on them
are intransitive verbs.
berjalan, berhenti, beristirahat, berubah, berlibur, bermain, berbicara
A complicating factor here is that sometimes the ber- prefix is dropped, especially if you are
speaking rapidly or informally. Compare these pairs of sentences. Each pair has basically the
same meaning and both sentences are 100% correct, but the first is formal and the second informal.
Saya ingin berjalan kaki saja.
Aku kepengin jalan kaki aja.
I’d prefer to just walk.
Sesudah beristirahat dia mandi
Sesudah istirahat dia mandi.
After taking a rest she had a bath.
Pada hari Sabtu pagi biasanya saya bermain golf.
Sabtu pagi biasanya aku main golf.
I usually play golf on Saturday mornings.
There are also some intransitive verbs that have a me- prefix. You have already met one or two
of them.
Apakah Anda pandai menyanyi?
Are you any good at singing?
Katanya mereka akan menikah.
I’ve heard they’re going to get married.
Gunung Merapi meletus kemarin.
Mount Merapi erupted yesterday.
Di mana Anda mengajar?
Where do you teach?
Lesson 60
3. Transitive verbs
If an intransitive verb is one that “looks back”, a transitive verb is one that “looks forward” in
the sense that it signifies an action that is done to someone or something.
You have seen that the English verb “to die” is intransitive. An example of a transitive verb in
English is “to fell”. In English you can say:
“She felled the tree.”
But unlike “She died” we cannot say:
*“She felled.”
Actually, verbs like “to fell” are a bit of a rarity in English. As you can see, it cannot be intransitive. But most verbs in English can be either transitive or intransitive, and what’s more they look
the same whether they are transitive or intransitive. Take, for example, the verb “to stop”. You can
say:
“The bus stopped.”
Here the verb “to stop” is intransitive because it is simply signifying an action and it is “looking
back” at the doer of the action, the bus. But “to stop” can also be used transitively.
“He thought he could get away with it, but I stopped him.”
In the latter sentence the verb “to stop” is looking forward, indicating that something was done
to “him”. So far so good. Now let’s turn to transitive verbs in Indonesian.
In this module we are concerned with transitive verbs that have a me- prefix on the front of
them.
If a verb has a me- prefix this indicates two things. First, the verb is most likely transitive (the
number of intransitive me- verbs is relatively small). So it has a receiver (often called the goal). The
receiver is on the receiving end of the action expressed in the verb. Second, there is an emphasis,
or focus, in the sentence on the doer of the action, often called by grammarians the actor. What
this means is, in a subtle way, the doer of the action is in clear focus in the mind of the speaker,
whereas the receiver of the action is a bit vague. Take this example.
Pak Sukamtono memukul anjing.
Mr Sukamtono hit the dog.
In this sentence it is clear who the doer of the action is. In the context of the “text” from which
this sentence has been lifted, we can assume that there has been previous mention of Pak
Sukamtono. The speaker knows who he is. He is in sharp, unambiguous focus. But the receiver of
the action (anjing) is not so clear. Yes, we know it is a dog, but one dog? ... or dogs in general? ...
or any old dog? ... or a particular dog? It is not so clear.
So this sentence has a focus on the hitter of the dog, the doer of the action. The grammar of
Indonesian requires this “actor focus” to be expressed by attaching a me- prefix to the front of the
base form of the transitive verb.
The transitive verb here is -pukul (to hit). In its actor focus form this verb assumes the form
memukul. You will see that the me- prefix seems to “fuse” with the base word pukul, melting
the /p/ of -pukul and turning it into a nasal sound, an /m/. This nasal sound takes a variety of
forms, but grammarians usually represent it generically with a capital “N” (standing for “nasalised
assimilation”). So in grammatical descriptions the me- prefix, when it is written on its own, is usually written meN-, where /N/ could be any one of four nasalised consonant sounds, /m/, /n/, /ny/
and /ng/, depending on the first sound in the base form of the verb.
Lesson 60
You have already met and used some actor focus transitive verbs. Study these examples. The
transitive verb is in italics.
Saya suka menonton televisi.
I like watching television
Dia akan mengambil uang di bank.
She’s going to get some money at the bank.
Saya selalu membeli surat kabar.
I always buy a newspaper.
Kami tidak melihat Anda di pasar.
We didn’t see you at the market.
Katanya, Pak Hasan sudah menulis buku.
I’ve heard that Mr Hasan has written a book.
Anda harus dapat memakai kata kerja dengan baik.
You’ve got to be able to use verbs properly.
Sebaiknya mencuci pakaian sebelum siang hari.
It’s best to wash clothes before the middle of the day.
The verbs in these sentences consist of a prefix and a base word. The prefix fuses, or “assimilates”, to the base word in some way. So the verbs can be analysed as follows.
menonton consists of meN- + -tonton
mengambil consists of meN- + -ambil
membeli consists of meN- + -beli
melihat consists of me- + -lihat
menulis consists of meN- + -tulis
memakai consists of meN- + -pakai
mencuci consists of meN- + -cuci
Some base words that begin with “m” often (a few verbs even always) avoid attaching the initial meN- prefix when they function as a transitive verb. The most common of these are minta,
minum, makan, mohon, mulai, and masak:
Biasanya mereka makan nasi goreng pada pagi hari. (not memakan)
They usually have fried rice for breakfast.
Boleh saya minta teh? (usually minta but sometimes meminta)
Could you give me some tea? (Literally: “May I request tea?”)
Apakah Anda mau minum kopi? (not meminum)
Would you like to drink coffee?
Dia mulai perjalanannya di Padang. (also fairly commonly memulai)
She began her journey in Padang.
Mereka tidak mau mohon maaf. (usually mohon but sometimes memohon)
They didn’t want to apologise. (Literally: “to ask for forgiveness”)
Dia masak ayam dan sayur-sayuran. (sometimes memasak)
She cooked chicken and vegetables.
Lesson 60
The meN- prefix is attached or assimilated to the base word in a variety of ways depending on
the initial sound in the base word. Let’s review this briefly. Here are the main rules.
1. If the base word begins with a vowel, the meN- prefix is fused on to the base word with a
/ng/ sound. For example:
-ambil ð mengambil (to take)
-ajar ð mengajar (to teach)
2. If the base word begins with the consonant /b/ the meN- prefix is fused on to it with the
sound /m/. For example:
-buka ð membuka (to open)
-baca ð membaca (to read)
-bawa ð membawa (to bring, carry)
-buat ð membuat (to make)
-beli ð membeli (to buy)
-bantu ð membantu (to assist)
3. If the base word begins with the consonant /p/ the meN- prefix is fused on with the
sound /m/. In addition, the /p/ in the base word merges with the prefix and disappears. For example:
-pakai ð memakai (to use, wear)
-pilih ð memilih (to choose, select)
-panggil ð memanggil (to call, summon)
-pelihara ð memelihara (to nourish, take care of, keep)
-pimpin ð memimpin (to lead, guide)
BUT NOTE this common exception: -punyai ð mempunyai (also note that punya never becomes *memunya!. You can only use punya or the more formal variant mempunyai).
4. If the base word begins with the consonants /d/, /j/ or /c/ the meN- prefix is fused on to it
with the sound /n/. For example:
Lesson 60
-dapat ð mendapat (to get, obtain)
-dengar ð mendengar (to hear)
-cari ð mencari (to search, seek)
-coba ð mencoba (to try, endeavour)
-cuci ð mencuci (to wash)
-jual ð menjual (to sell)
-jadi ð menjadi (to become)
5. If the base word begins with the consonant /t/ the meN- prefix is fused on to it with the
sound /n/. In addition the initial /t/ of the base word merges with the prefix and disappears. For
example:
-tarik ð menarik (to pull, attract, attractive, interesting)
-tutup ð menutup (to close)
-terima ð menerima (to receive)
-tulis ð menulis (to write)
-tolong ð menolong (to help)
-tunggu ð menunggu (to wait)
6. If the base word begins with the consonants /g/ or /h/ the meN- prefix fuses on to it with the
sound /ng/. For example:
-goreng ð menggoreng (to fry)
-hitung ð menghitung (to count)
7. If the base word begins with the consonant /k/ the meN- prefix fuses on to it with the
sound /ng/. In addition the initial /k/ of the base word merges with the prefix and disappears. For
example:
-kirim ð mengirim (to send)
-katakan ð mengatakan (to say)
8. If the base word begins with the consonant /s/ the meN- prefix is fused on to it with a /ny/
sound. In addition the /s/ sound in the base word merges with the prefix and disappears. For example:
-simpan ð menyimpan (to store, file)
-senangkan ð menyenangkan (to please, pleasant)
9. If the base word begins with the consonants /l/, /m/, /n/, /r/, /w/ and /y/ the meN- prefix attaches straight on the front end of the base word without any assimilation or “glue”. For example:
-lihat ð melihat (to see)
-mulai ð memulai (to start)
-nikah ð menikah (to marry)
-rasa ð merasa (to feel)
-wakili ð mewakili (to represent)
-yakinkan ð meyakinkan (to convince, convincing)
Mohon Perhatian!!
The prefix ber-, which is usually a marker of an intransitive verb, attaches directly on
the front of a base word without any assimilation or fusion. Here are some
examples:
-ubah ð berubah
-temu ð bertemu
-asal ð berasal
-dansa ð berdansa
Lesson 60
-belanja ð berbelanja
-cakap-cakap ð bercakap-cakap
-henti ð berhenti
But in a few special cases some assimilation takes places. The /r/ in ber- may change to /l/ or
disappear altogether. For example:
-ajar ð belajar
-kerja ð bekerja
-renang ð berenang
Mohon Perhatian!!
Sometimes a base word may even have yet another affix on it. One example that has appeared
already in the course is the verb memperbaiki (to “make good” i.e. to repair). This is built up from
the adjective baik (good) that produces the base word –perbaiki to which the me- prefix can be attached.
Indonesian is an agglutinative language in which complex affixation plays an important role, not
only in the verb system, but in other parts of speech too. Informal and slangy speech often radically simplifies – even eliminates altogether – this affixation, but for a sophisticated command of
the formal language you need to get used to manipulating affixes easily and automatically.

More on MeN- Verbs
In many textbooks these verbs are referred to as me-verbs, which is not
quite correct, as there is always a nasal sound (N) which glues the prefix to the
base word.
MeN- verbs have a goal, that is, the person, thing or idea that is impacted
on by the action expressed in the verb. Usually the goal is rather ill-defined or
generalised. It is something that probably hasn’t been mentioned or referred to in the preceding
part of the narrative or conversation. It is a person, thing or idea that – if we were speaking
English – might be marked by the indefinite articles “a” or “some” rather than the more specific
“the” or “that”. Savour the difference between these English sentences.
I’m going to plant some corn.
He harvested rice.
I’m going to plant the corn.
He harvested that rice.
In Indonesian you can express the ideas in the sentences on the left like this.
Lesson 61
Saya akan menanam jagung.
Dia memotong padi.
The slight vagueness of jagung and padi (we don’t know precisely where, which, how much
etc.) is expressed by making it the goal of a transitive me- verb.
But what about the sentences in the right hand column above? How do we express the greater
precision of the corn and the rice, i.e. corn and rice that has already been mentioned, and which
is therefore already relatively clear in our minds? Well, one way is to add a definite article like itu
that makes it clear we are talking about a certain (say) sack of corn seed, or (say) field of rice that
has probably already been mentioned. So we could say:
Saya akan menanam jagung itu.
Dia memotong padi itu.
But more usually, definiteness in the goal of an action is expressed through the passive form of
a transitive verb:
Jagung itu akan saya tanam.
Padi itu dipotongnya.
We practise these forms of the verb (Passive Type 1 and Passive Type 2) in Modules 6 and 7.
For the moment, it is enough to be aware that, where English tends to distinguish between
definiteness and indefiniteness with articles like the, some and a, Indonesian is more complex,
tending to express the same distinction through forms of the verb and by positioning nouns at the
beginning or end of a clause/sentence, as well as by using markers of definiteness like itu.
As you have seen, English and Indonesian are dramatically different in many ways. But they are
also different in subtle ways. The various forms of the transitive verb and the expression of
definiteness and indefiniteness is just one of these subtleties.

Lesson 61
Using an Indonesian Dictionary
We have referred to the notion of “nude” words and “clothed” words. These are just pop terms
for, respectively, base forms and derived forms.
Essentially, base forms are words that have affixes attached to them. Affixes are like pilot fish,
they can’t swim about independently in the great ocean of language, but have to fasten
themselves to the shark-like hulks of passing base forms. Some affixes work at the nose end (like
ber- and meN-) and some only at the tail (like -an). Others always operate as a team – two
inseparable affixes, one swimming at the nose and the other riding shotgun at the rear, like the
per- -an team in the word perpustakaan. There are even a few mysterious affixes that generations
ago wormed their way into the gut of certain base words and now, like parasites, have a
permanent home there. If you cut into these base words you can locate the affixes, like -el- in
telunjuk (index finger) and -in- in kinerja (performance, track record).
Derived forms are those that consist of a base word plus one or more affixes. As we have seen
in the case of memperbaiki, some base words may themselves have affixes in them. For example,
the derived form berhasil (successful, to succeed) consists of the base word hasil and the prefix
ber-. But berhasil can itself be a base word. With the affixes ke- and -an attached to it, it produces
the word keberhasilan (success). You should also bear in mind that in certain circumstances most
base words can also stand alone without affixes. For example, in certain contexts hasil can stand
alone (it means “result”, “outcome”).
It is important to be aware of the distinction between base forms and derived forms, because
most Indonesian dictionaries organise their head words, or main entries, according to the
alphabetical order of the first letter in base forms, not derived forms. So in most dictionaries you
won’t find the word berjalan by looking for it under “b”. You will have to identify the first letter of
its base form and look for it under that letter. With a word like berjalan there’s no great problem.
With words like melihat, merusak, and even membaca, mencuci, menggoreng and many more,
there’s also no huge problem. The base word is clear. You simply go to the base word entry in the
dictionary, and under that entry you will find all the various derivatives that can be formed by
attaching affixes to the base word concerned.
But suppose you want to look up a word in which the prefix has assimilated or “fused” with the
base form causing a change in the initial sound of the base form so that it is no longer instantly
recognisable? In such cases we have to use the rules given earlier in this lesson to do a bit of
quick detective work. Even then we may be left with two or more possible base words, so we
would have to check out each possibility until we find the right base word.
For example, supposing we want to know the
meaning of the word memukul. Looking at the
rules given in Lesson 60 we can deduce that the
base word is either mukul (see rule 9) or pukul
(see rule 3). So we check under “m” to see if there
is a base word mukul. There isn’t. So we check
under “p” for pukul. Aha! There it is.
In some instances we might have to check up
to three possible base words. Take for example
Schmidgall-Tellings (2004)
the word mengarang. Referring to our rules for the
formation of derivatives we can work out that there are three possible base words that mengarang might be formed from: ngarang, arang and karang. We would have to check each of these in
the dictionary. In this case we would find that ngarang doesn’t exist. We would find that arang
does exist but it doesn’t have a derivative mengarang. So we would be left with karang. Under the
Lesson 61
head word karang we would find a number of derivatives listed, like karangan, pengarang and
mengarang.
Let’s look at some examples of dictionaries. Here is part of the entry for membawa in A
Comprehensive Indonesian-English Dictionary by Alan Stevens and Ed Schmidgall- Tellings
(2004).
Compare this with the entry for membawa in An Indonesian-English Dictionary by John Echols
and Hassan Shadily (3rd revised edition, 1989).
An exception to this “normal” way of
organising the entries in dictionaries is George
Q u i n n ’ s The Learner’s Dictionary of Today’s
Indonesian (2001). Quinn’s dictionary organises all
main entries according to the first letter of each
word, irrespective of whether that word is a base
word or a word beginning with a prefix.
Each of the three dictionaries has a unique
approach to description of the Indonesian lexicon.
Smith and Schmidgall-Tellings’ has a finely
discriminated list of definitions – i.e. possible
English translations – for membawa. It illustrates
these with a few short sentences and phrases that
show how membawa is used in context. It also
has
information on colloquial variations of memEchols-Shadily (1989)
bawa, plus many idiomatic expressions containing
membawa. Echols and Shadily is dense with information, providing several related idiomatic
phrases under each main definition of membawa. Quinn’s dictionary has fewer definitions and no
idiomatic phrases at all, but it has longer illustratory sentences as well as some information on
pronunciation and grammar.
All three dictionaries are bilingual, but Smith and Schmidgall-Tellings’ goes in one direction only: Indonesian-toEnglish. Echols and Shadily and Quinn have English-toIndonesian sides to their dictionaries (Echols and Shadily’s
is in a separate volume). Smith and Schmidgall-Tellings, and
Echols and Shadily attempt to be comprehensive, covering
as much of the Indonesian lexicon as they can, whereas
Quinn’s is a “special purpose” dictionary concentrating on a
quite limited corpus of highly frequent Indonesian and
English words. Quinn’s has a section in which the
dictionary’s main entries are sorted into topic groups, and
notes on aspects of Indonesian culture are scattered
through the dictionary. All three dictionaries have interesting
introductions. Quinn offers a short history of the evolution of
the Indonesian language and an overview of its functions in
modern Indonesia. Echols and Shadily have a detailed
description of the sound system (phonology) of Indonesian,
and Smith and Schmidgall-Tellings focus on how to find the
base word (they call it the “root”) of derivatives.
Finally, let’s look at the entry for membawa in the Kamus
Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI): http://kbbi.web.id/bawa.
Quinn (2001)
Lesson 61
This is the online version of Indonesia’s semi-official dictionary published by the nation’s Pusat
Bahasa (Language Centre), an organ of the Departemen Pendidikan Nasional (Department of
National Education). The fourth edition, published in 2008, has 90,000 entries.
Even if you don’t understand everything in the Kamus Besar you will quickly see that the three
Indonesian-English dictionaries we have looked at are indebted in some degree to the Kamus Besar. As foreign learners of Indonesian you probably have little choice but to start out with an
Indonesian-English dictionary (and an English-Indonesian dictionary too, of course). But
languages are self-referential, their words construct meaning only by reference to other words in
the same language. So as soon as you can, you should let go of bilingual dictionaries and
graduate to a good Indonesian-Indonesian dictionary.
Awas!!
Jakarta-style colloquial Indonesian contains a lot of verbs that follow a slightly
different morphology. If you see a word beginning with ng, then the chance that this
is a base word is slim as very few Indonesian base words start with ng. The word
ngantuk ̒sleepy ̓ in the following banner over a toll road in Jakarta is derived from
kantuk. Instead of the formal Indonesian form mengantuk, Jasa Marga, the toll road
managing company, decided to use the more common colloquial form ngantuk to
convey the message “Burst tyres and sleepy drivers are the main causes of accidents”.
© U. Kozok
In the following list you can see how transitive N-verbs are formed Jakarta-style. The meprefix is absent, and the rules how N manifests itself are also slightly different. You may also
notice that some base words are spelled slightly differently and that suffixes -kan and -i both
become -in. As bases beginning with f and v hardly ever occur, they have been omitted here.
N can appear as one of the nasals m, ng,
ny, n, nge, or as zero.

Lesson 62
Lesson 62
Menjadi
In English we have a verb “to be” and a verb “to become”. A quick glance at an English
dictionary will show that these are regarded as fairly distinct notions. The first indicates something
that is more or less static, that is, it describes, or refers to, a “state” or something that is not
evolving. The second refers to something that is dynamic, that is, in the process of evolving or
becoming something different.
The distinction doesn’t exist in Indonesian, at least not with the same clarity. We have already
seen that Indonesian doesn’t have a verb “to be”. But sometimes the verb menjadi seems to
function like the English “to be”. Look at these examples:
Ia menjadi marah sekarang.
He’s angry now.
Dulu saya menjadi guru, tetapi sekarang saya menjadi pengusaha.
I used to be a teacher, but now I’m a businessman.
Menjadi can also be used like the English “to become”.
Tahun berapa Anda menjadi dosen?
In what year did you become a lecturer?
Tanti ingin sekali menjadi insinyur yang rajin dan efisien.
Tanti is really keen to become a hard working and efficient engineer.
As you can see, menjadi can be used to talk about work. Study this substitution table and
practise generating sentences from it.

Dialogue: Failed Ambitions, New Ambitions
With a fellow student, or with your teacher/tutor, exchange stories about your work
experiences and ambitions in former times (dulu) and your work experiences and
ambitions now (sekarang). Use your imagination to make a stark contrast between the
bleak disappointments and failures of the past, and the bright reality of the present and future.
You might begin by saying something like this (Sound File 062-01):
D
ulu saya ingin menjadi petani karena saya suka pada binatang. Saya juga suka menanam jagung, padi dan buah-buahan, tetapi saya tidak suka tinggal di desa yang sepi
yang jauh dari kota. Saya lebih suka tempat yang ramai. Jadi, saya gagal menjadi petani. Sekarang saya lebih senang menjadi karyawan toko. Saya bekerja di bagian sepatu di toko pakaian Robinson. Saya menjual sepatu laki-laki, sepatu perempuan, dan sepatu anak-anak.
Tetapi sebetulnya saya lebih suka bekerja di bagian pakaian karena saya suka pakaian yang
mahal dan cantik. … … … …
Notice the word sebetulnya in this narrative. It means something like “as a matter of fact” or
“actually”. Tetapi sebetulnya has overtones of “but to be honest” so it is a useful phrase to use
when you want to emphasise a contrast.
Now, here are some “kick-start” sentence shells to get you going with a narrative like the one
above. Run these options through your head first and consider how you can complete them, or
Lesson 62
elaborate on them, in an imaginative and long-winded way using the Indonesian vocabulary you
currently have.

A noun is a word that names a thing, person or place. Some examples of
ordinary nouns in Indonesian are: penumpang (a passenger), perjalanan (travel, a
trip), orang Jawa (a Javanese), selat (a strait). There are other kinds of “less
ordinary” nouns, for example:
1. personal names and place names, e.g. Bapak Kamso, Surabaya, Batam.
2. pronouns, that is, words used in place of nouns, especially to refer to something or someone
that has already been mentioned. Examples are saya, kamu, dia, mereka, kita and kami.
3. noun phrases, that is, a group of words that doesn’t necessarily have a noun in it but that
stands for a noun, for example yang murah (the cheap one)
Tidak never appears directly in front of any of these kinds of nouns.
They are negated with bukan.
Although tidak is the usual negator for verbs, adjectives and prepositions, in certain contexts
bukan can also be used to negate them. This happens most often when you want to emphasise a
contrast, or when a contrast is implied.
Warnanya bukan merah tetapi hijau.
It’s not red, it’s green.
Hadiah ini bukan untuk kamu. Untuk Tanti!
This gift is not for you. It’s for Tanti!
Dia bukan mengambil uang. Sebetulnya dia memberikan uang.
She didn’t take money. In fact she gave money.
So it seems that bukan is a stronger, or more emphatic, negator than tidak, and for this reason
can sometimes muscle its way into the negation of verbs, adjectives and prepositions, in addition
to its normal function as a negator of nouns.
Bapak & Ibu
In English, basically we have just one second person pronoun: “you”. Except in a few
exceptional circumstances, “you” can be used to address practically anyone at all. In some
European languages there are two words for “you”. French, for example, has tu and vous. You
use tu when you are talking to someone with whom you are on familiar or intimate terms. It is also
often used to address children, even if you are not on familiar terms with the child, or for “talking
Lesson 63
down” in an insulting or contemptuous way to adults. Vous, on the other hand, is more formal and
respectful. It implies a distance between the speakers. It is the “safe” word to use.
Most Indonesians are ultra-sensitive to differences in rank, age, gender and formality. When
two people talk to each other, as a rule the words they use for “you” will reflect their view of the
relationship between them. Are they social equals? Are they the same sex? Are they roughly the
same or very different in age? Do they know each other well or only distantly? All these factors
can influence their choice of a word for “you”. Indeed, sometimes even ethnic differences, or
vocational differences, or kinship differences can play a role in determining one’s choice of a word
for “you”.
And there are plenty of second person pronouns (i.e. words that mean “you”) to choose from in
Indonesian. If English has just one and French has two, Indonesian has around a dozen that are in
common use, and probably more than fifty altogether. George Quinn’s Learner’s Dictionary of
Today’s Indonesian gives 24 words for “you”.
One of the interesting features of the Indonesian language (and of Indonesian society as a
whole) is the impulse to relate to people as if they are members of one’s own family. It is almost
as if you can only communicate with someone by making that person an “honorary” member of
your family.
We have a few remote echoes of this practice in European culture. For example, in the Catholic
Church priests are addressed as “Father” or “Brother” depending on their rank and functions, and
female members of certain orders may be addressed as “Mother” or “Sister”. Presumably this
practice is a manifestation of the idea that the Christian community is a big family.
Similarly, activists in certain causes may address one another as “Sister” (in some branches of
the feminist movement) or “Brother” (among some activists for the welfare of African Americans).
Again, behind this practice lies the idea that members of a family are close to one another, will
support one another and won’t betray one another. At the same time, the use of kinship terms
may function to indicate differences in power and status within a community (as in the Catholic
Church where a “Father” has higher status than a “Brother”) or that all members are equal (as in
the use by egalitarian activists of terms referring to members of the same generation like
“Brother” and “Sister”).
In Indonesian, the very widespread use of kinship terms as second person pronouns seems to
function both to “incorporate” the addressee into an imagined community or “family”, and to
make clear the differences in status that are perceived to exist between addresser and addressee.
Here are some of the most common words for “you” that are also kinship terms.
Bapak
father
Adik
younger brother/sister
Oom
uncle
and many more.
Ibu
mother
Saudara
brother/sister
Tante
aunt
For the moment you are going to practise use of the second person pronouns Bapak and Ibu,
both of which are of very high frequency in everyday Indonesian.
Lesson 63
Cara Indonesia
So far in this course we have used just one word for “you”: Anda. There are
many words for “you”: Anda is just one of them and is by no means the most
commonly used. In fact Anda is a fairly recent invention, dating from the 1950s.
It is slightly trendy, a bit formal, and is mostly used among Indonesia’s
educated, urbanised minority. It is also widely used in advertising and public
announcements. It is the closest Indonesian has to the all-purpose English
“you”.
But unlike “you”, Anda cannot be used indiscriminately to all and sundry.
That is why it is important to master the use of Bapak and Ibu (and, little by
little, the many other words for “you” in Indonesian).
Who do you address as Bapak or Ibu? The flippant answer might be “practically everyone”, but
in matters of etiquette in Indonesia it’s best to be very careful rather than flippant. Basically Bapak
and Ibu are polite, respectful terms but not excessively formal terms. They are widely used in
everyday talk.
The main guidelines to bear in mind in deciding whether to use them are: you should address
as Bapak or Ibu anyone who 1) is reasonably “mature” in years, say past 30 years of age, or who
2) has some claim to status, whether it be by virtue of having a job/position, or being a parent, or
having an impressive bearing, and who 3) is not on really close or intimate terms with you.
There are many notes that one could add to these guidelines. Here are one or two.
• If you are still young (i.e. let’s say under 30 years of age) you wouldn’t normally address
your peers of similar age as Bapak or Ibu (you might use Anda or Saudara, perhaps kamu),
but if you are older than 30 in most instances you would address your age-peers as Bapak
or Ibu (unless you are on very intimate terms with them).
• Very often, a formal atmosphere or situation can dictate that Bapak or Ibu must be used
rather than the more intimate term of address you might use in a more private, casual
context.
• In some instances you might address someone as Bapak or Ibu even if they are younger
than you are. This is especially common where the younger person has a responsible job
or is exercising some kind of authority over you, for example as your teacher or doctor.
• The word Anda that we have used so far in these lessons is appropriate in most situations,
but not everyone uses it, and in any case it has egalitarian overtones clinging to it so it
wouldn’t usually be appropriate to use Anda to address someone who is a lot older than
you or a lot higher in status, and who expects that rank to be acknowledged by use of
explicitly respectful terms of address. Substitute Bapak or Ibu for Anda and you can’t go
wrong.
Mohon Perhatian!!
You should note that when the kinship terms bapak (a father) and ibu (a mother)
are used as second person pronouns (i.e. meaning “you”) they are written with an
initial capital letter, but when they are used in their ordinary, referential sense as
kinship terms they are not capitalised (except at the beginning of a sentence, of
course).
Lesson 63
By the way, in Module 3 you learned that ibu means “a mother”, but the word given for “a
father” was ayah, not bapak. There are two points to remember about this. First, bapak is the
Javanese word for “a father” and ayah is the more traditionally Malay word. So you are more likely
to hear ayah used in Sumatra and among educated speakers or “purists” (which is why it is used
in The Indonesian Way – be grateful!). On the other hand, bapak has been enthusiastically adopted
into Indonesian and you will commonly hear it used to refer to “a father”, especially in Java and
among less fastidious users of the language.
Second, ayah is used to mean “you” only when you are addressing your own real father. If you
are not talking to your real father, but to a “pseudo-father” you should address him as Bapak.
Cara Indonesia
The use of second person pronouns is one of the most difficult areas of
Indonesian. Even the few tentative steps we are starting to take at this point
present fairly formidable, prickly, subtle difficulties.
If it is any consolation, you might be interested to know that Indonesians
themselves often put the choice of the right pronoun into the too hard basket. In
fact, very often people will go through some fairly spectacular contortions
(verbal contortions, that is) to avoid altogether using a word for “you”, especially
if they are in doubt about whether to be casual or formal with the person they
are talking to.
You have already met an instance of “you-avoidance” in the greeting Mau ke mana? Other
similar phrases are Tinggal di mana? (Where do you live?), Mau makan apa? (What would you like
to eat?), Turun di mana? (Where are you getting off?). A slightly bizarre variant of this, but also
very common, is the substitution of the more neutral third-person pronoun -nya for the second
person pronoun. Thus you will hear people say, for example, Rumahnya di mana? (Where is your
house?) or Anaknya berapa? (How many children do you have), and even Namanya siapa? (What
is your name?)
Seorang
In English you can say “The farmer has 30 head of cattle.” The word “head” in this sentence is
a special word you use when counting cattle and certain other animals. There are not many such
words (usually called “numeral classifiers”) in English, but Indonesian has a number of them that
are quite commonly used. For example, when counting animals in Indonesian you use not “head”
but “tail” (ekor). So if you want to render the English sentence above into Indonesian you say Petani itu mempunyai 30 ekor sapi.
To count human beings you use orang. Look at these examples:
Ada empat orang guru di halaman sekolah.
There are four teachers in the schoolyard.
Mahasiswa sudah datang ... lebih dari 20 orang.
The students have arrived ... more than 20 of them.
Maaf, kami tidak dapat membantu Anda. Hanya ada tiga orang dokter di sini.
Sorry, we can’t help you. There are only three doctors here.
Ada berapa polisi di luar? Hanya seorang.
How many policemen are there outside? Just one.
Lesson 63
If you are not actually counting, you usually don’t need to use a numeral classifier word.
Mereka mau menjadi guru.
They want to become teachers.
Sebaiknya Anda bertanya kepada polisi.
I’d advise you to ask the police.
However, there is an exception. Very often the word seorang functions like the English “a”
when “a” is used to indicate all the members of a particular class of objects or people. So in
English you can say, for example, “A policeman has to be careful”. In this sentence the word “a”
indicates that we are talking not about just one individual policeman, but about a kind of general
image of policemen. Seorang is used in a similar way in Indonesian.
Seorang polisi harus hati-hati.
A policeman has to be careful.
Seorang dokter harus belajar ilmu kimia.
A doctor has to study chemistry.
Saya ingin menjadi seorang karyawan toko yang ramah.
I want to be a friendly shop assistant.
Dialogue: Asking Politely About An Older Person’s Job
With a fellow student, or with your teacher/tutor, act out a dialogue in which one person takes
the role of an older man or woman, and the other a younger man or woman who wants to find out
about the older person’s occupation. Sit facing each other rather formally. The younger person
will politely address the older person as Ibu or Bapak. The older person will equally politely use
Anda when addressing the younger person. Begin the dialogue with a question that demands the
answer bukan, e.g. …
Apakah Ibu seorang pegawai negeri?
Bukan. Saya bekerja di Toko Laris.
After the older speaker has said “no” the dialogue can then proceed more freely,
e.g. …
O begitu. Apakah Ibu seorang karyawan toko?
Bukan. Saya sekretaris di kantor toko.
Sudah berapa lama Ibu bekerja di kantor toko?
Sudah lima tahun.
More questions should follow, all asked using the formal pronoun Ibu or Bapak, e.g.
Mengapa Ibu…?
Berapa lama Ibu…?
Ibu … … … naik apa?
Tahun berapa Ibu… ?
Apakah Ibu…?
Setiap hari, apa tugas Ibu di…?
Di mana Ibu…?
Bagaimana pekerjaan itu, Ibu?

Talking About the Frequency of Actions/Events
You have already met the adverbs of frequency biasanya and kadang-kadang. Frequency extends on either side of these two terms, ranging from “always” at the high-frequency end, through
“often”, “usually” and “sometimes”, to “never” at the bottom end of the frequency range. Here are
the Indonesian equivalents:
tidak pernah
never
jarang
rarely
! low frequency
kadang-kadang
sometimes
high frequency "
sering
often
selalu
always
In English you could insert “occasionally” between
“rarely” and “sometimes”, and “frequently” between “often” and “always” bringing the scale up to seven items.
Indonesian typically only uses five adverbs of frequency.
Biasanya is not included here; in terms of frequency it is
roughly comparable to sering. Adverbs of frequency usually appear in the number two position in a sentence, that
is, immediately after the first word or after the initial adverbial phrase. But they also often appear right at the beginning of a sentence.
Here are some more examples:
Saya tidak pernah bekerja pada malam hari.
I never work at night.
Apakah Bapak kadang-kadang pergi ke gunung untuk melukis?
Do you sometimes go to the mountains to paint pictures?
Kadang-kadang saya pergi ke gunung untuk melukis.
Sometimes I go to the mountains to paint pictures.
Biasanya saya menerima telepon dan mengetik surat.
Usually I take phone calls and type letters.

Pekerjaan Seorang Petani
S
eorang petani selalu bekerja keras. Biasanya ia bangun pagi-pagi, kadang-kadang sebelum jam lima pagi dia sudah bangun. Seorang petani tidak pernah berlibur. Pada hari
Sabtu dan hari Minggu biasanya dia bekerja juga. Di samping bekerja seorang petani juga
harus membantu mengurus desanya. Ia harus membersihkan jalan di desa, ikut rapat desa
dan membantu dalam kegiatan-kegiatan desa.
Bapak Karyono misalnya. Pak Yono tinggal di Muncul, kampung kecil yang terletak kira-kira sepuluh kilometer dari kota Salatiga dan lima belas kilometer dari kota Ambarawa di
provinsi Jawa Tengah. Biasanya Pak Yono bangun sebelum jam setengah enam pagi. Ia ja-
Lesson 64
rang bangun sesudah jam enam. Pertama-tama ia bersembahyang, lalu ia sarapan nasi dengan sambal. Kadang-kadang ia juga makan ikan. Pak Yono selalu minum kopi yang manis
sekali. Jam enam ia berangkat ke sawah. Sawah Pak Yono tidak jauh dari desa Muncul, hanya kira-kira dua kilometer. Biasanya ia berjalan kaki tetapi kadang-kadang ia naik sepeda.
Biasanya Pak Yono bekerja di sawah menanam padi. Kira-kira jam sebelas siang Ibu Karyono datang ke sawah membawa makanan untuk suaminya. Mereka makan siang bersama di
sawah, tetapi pada hari Jumat mereka tidak pernah makan siang di sawah karena Pak Yono
harus sembahyang di mesjid. Pada jam sebelas ia sudah pulang ke rumah untuk mandi dan
berganti pakaian. Kalau ke mesjid ia selalu memakai baju yang bagus dan bersih. Pada jam
12 siang ia bersembahyang di mesjid bersama dengan orang-orang kampung lainnya. Sesudah pulang bersembahyang ia selalu duduk bercakap-cakap dengan teman-temannya. Kadang-kadang ada rapat desa. Pak Yono dan beberapa teman bertemu di rumah Kepala
Desa. Mereka berbicara tentang urusan desa dan program pembangunan pemerintah.
Pada hari Sabtu dan hari Minggu biasanya Pak Yono bekerja di sawah juga tetapi kadang-kadang ia ikut berolahraga. Pak Yono suka ikut pertandingan sepak bola, dan kadang-kadang juga bulu tangkis. Pak Yono pandai bermain sepak bola tetapi ia tidak begitu pandai
bermain bulu tangkis. Biasanya ia hanya ikut menonton pertandingan bulu tangkis.
Pada hari Rabu ada pasar di desa Banyubiru tidak jauh dari desa Muncul. Ibu Karyono selalu pergi ke pasar Banyubiru itu untuk menjual buah-buahan, ikan dan makanan kecil. Bu
Yono seorang ibu rumah tangga yang rajin. Dia pandai sekali memasak. Sebelum berangkat
ke pasar ia sudah membuat roti dan kue kering. Roti dan kue Bu Yono terkenal karena
enak dan manis. Banyak orang mencari Bu Yono untuk membeli kue kering dan rotinya.
Bu Yono selalu berangkat ke pasar sebelum jam lima pagi. Biasanya ia naik bemo tetapi kadang-kadang ia naik dokar. Biasanya ia di pasar sampai siang. Kalau buah-buahan, ikan dan
makanan kecilnya sudah habis baru ia pulang. Sebelum pulang ia berbelanja. Kadang-kadang ia juga membeli pakaian.

An Interview With Two Villagers
In Lesson 64 you met Bapak Karyono and Ibu Karyono, two villagers who live in Muncul, Central Java. Now, imagine that you are a student (mahasiswa) from Widya Buana University. You are
doing a research assignment in Muncul. You interview Bapak Karyono and Ibu Karyono, asking
them about details of their working lives. Here is the transcript of a possible interview, but listen to
Sound File 065-01 before!
Lesson 65
Wawancara dengan Bapak & Ibu Karyono (1)
Listen carefully to Sound File 065-01. Before you read the transcript of the
interview, answer the following questions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
On what day of the week does the farmer wake up at 6:00?
What does he usually do at 9:00?
Who brings him food to the paddy field?
What does his wife do for a living?

Answer the questions while listening; then read the transcript to check your answers.
Selamat sore, Bapak dan Ibu. Saya perlu informasi tentang pekerjaan seorang petani.
Apakah saya boleh bertanya sedikit kepada Bapak dan Ibu?
Silakan.
Biasanya jam berapa Bapak bangun?
Biasanya saya bangun sebelum jam lima pagi tetapi pada hari Minggu saya bangun kirakira jam enam.
Lalu apa yang Bapak lakukan?
Saya bersembahyang dan sarapan, lalu saya pergi ke sawah.
Berapa lama Bapak bekerja di sawah?
Saya tidak pernah pulang sebelum jam sepuluh pagi dan biasanya saya bekerja di
sawah sampai jam dua siang, kadang-kadang sampai sore.
Apakah Bapak juga makan di sawah?
Ya. Istri saya selalu membawa makanan untuk saya.
O begitu. Bu, boleh saya bertanya kepada Ibu?
Silakan.
Apakah Ibu juga ikut mencari uang?
Ya. Saya membuat kue dan roti yang saya jual di pasar Banyubiru.
Apakah Bapak juga ikut menjual roti dan kue?
Lesson 65
O, tidak pernah. Bapak tidak pandai menjual barang-barang di pasar. Tetapi kadangkadang dia berbelanja di pasar.
Bapak perlu membeli apa di pasar?
Biasanya saya mencari pakaian. Kadang-kadang saya juga perlu alat-alat untuk
pekerjaan saya.
Bu, apakah Ibu juga kadang-kadang menjual kue dan roti di pasar Salatiga atau di pasar
Ambarawa?
Tidak pernah. Salatiga dan Ambarawa terlalu jauh untuk saya.
Apakah Ibu juga ikut rapat desa dengan Bapak?
Kadang-kadang, tetapi saya selalu ikut rapat ibu-ibu di kampung kami.
O, ada rapat ibu-ibu?
Ada.
Apa yang Ibu lakukan dalam rapat-rapat itu?
Kami berbicara tentang masalah-masalah di kampung kami. Kami membantu
perempuan di desa kami dan kami juga bercakap-cakap tentang program pembangunan
pemerintah di desa kami.
Hmmm, bagus. Jadi, tidak ada masalah besar di desa Bapak dan Ibu?
Aduh! Ada! Banyak juga masalah di desa kami.
Misalnya?
Misalnya, di desa kami perlu sekali ada...
Exercise 65-01
Below you will find five ways that Ibu (or Bapak) Karyono might have completed the last sentence in the interview above. Choose one of them and write several new sentences of dialogue
between the guest and Ibu or Bapak Karyono. A model answer is given immediately below for you
to refer to if necessary, but use your own ideas and creativity while ensuring that what you write is
grammatically correct and culturally appropriate. Using saya kira or menurut pendapat saya plus
lebih baik, or sebaiknya give Ibu or Bapak Karyono some polite suggestions about what they
should do.
Lesson 65
Model answer:
Ibu/Bapak Karyono: Misalnya di desa kami belum ada terminal bis. Bis-bis
tidak singgah di desa kami. Kami ingin sekali membangun terminal bis di desa
kami.
Tamu: Apakah ada uang untuk membangun terminal bis?
Ibu/Bapak Karyono: Belum ada. Kami masih mencari uang. Katanya
pemerintah akan membantu kami.
Tamu: Menurut pendapat saya, sebaiknya Ibu/Bapak jangan membangun terminal
bis dulu. Terlalu mahal. Lebih baik Ibu/Bapak membangun sekolah......
Starters (choose one of these to complete Ibu or Bapak Karyono’s last sentence and add further comments):
(a) Misalnya, di desa kami belum ada pasar. Orang di desa Muncul harus pergi ke Banyubiru
untuk berbelanja dan menjual barang-barang. Kalau ada pasar di desa Muncul kami
bisa.... Kami ingin sekali ....
(b) Misalnya, di desa kami belum ada sekolah. Anak-anak dari desa Muncul harus naik bemo
ke Ambarawa untuk bersekolah. Kalau ada sekolah di desa Muncul anak kami bisa ....
Kami ingin sekali ....
(c) Misalnya, di desa kami belum ada kantor desa. Bapak Kepala Desa harus bekerja di
rumahnya. Tetapi rumahnya kecil sekali. Kalau ada kantor di desa Muncul Bapak Kepala
Desa bisa .... Kami ingin sekali ....
(d) Misalnya, di desa kami belum ada pabrik. Di desa Muncul banyak orang yang miskin.
Mereka tidak punya pekerjaan. Kalau ada pabrik di desa Muncul orang-orang miskin
bisa .... Kami ingin sekali ....
(e) Misalnya, di desa kami belum ada lapangan olahraga atau gedung olahraga. Anak-anak
kami suka sekali bermain badminton, tenis dan sepak bola, tetapi tidak ada lapangan atau
gedung untuk mereka. Mereka harus bermain di jalan! Kalau ada lapangan olahraga atau
gedung olahraga masyarakat di desa kami bisa… Kami ingin sekali…
Role Play: Berwawancara Dengan Seorang Petani
Carefully read (i) the information in Pekerjaan Seorang Petani as well as (ii) the interview
between the visitor from Universitas Widya Buana and Bapak and Ibu Karyono and (iii) the aspirations of the people of Muncul as sketched in Exercise 64-02. Learn by heart as much of these
three sources as you can. Taking the interview as your beginning point, but fleshing it out with
words and phrases taken from the reading passage and Exercise 64-02, recreate the interview in
a role play involving three actors. If necessary make big (or small) cue cards that you can glance
at while you are rehearsing. Repeat the role play several times until you are confident that you
have mastered the basic questions, answers, events and issues without using cue cards. Then go
back over the material you have studied in Modules One to Four, ransacking them for ideas and
words that you can use to bulk up the role play, making it longer, more diverse and more interesting. For example, go back to Lesson 55 in which there is a debate about the merits of living in the
country and the city. Add your own personal touches to the role play (but make sure your Indonesian is grammatically correct).
When you have mastered the role play smoothly and creatively, try using some of its themes,
phrases and words as a kick-off point for the development of a new role play in which people
from other occupations are interviewed. Try role playing an interview with, for example, a waiter or
Lesson 65
waitress (pelayan), a shop assistant (karyawan toko), a university student (mahasiswa), a housewife (ibu rumah tangga), a public servant (pegawai negeri) or a businessman / businesswoman
(pengusaha).
An Interview With Two Villagers
Below is the possible continuation of the interview that you listened to at the beginning
of this lesson. Listen to Sound File 065-02 before reading the transcription.
Misalnya, di desa kami perlu sekali ada pasar. Orang di desa kami harus pergi ke
Banyubiru untuk berbelanja dan menjual barang-barang.
Apakah transportasi ke desa lain sulit?
Ya...tidak juga tapi perlu waktu yang cukup lama.
Apa ada lagi masalah besar di kampung ini?
Kami juga perlu sekali dokter perempuan.
Mengapa?
Ya di sini sudah ada dokter laki-laki tetapi ibu-ibu lebih suka berobat ke dokter
perempuan karena mereka lebih mudah berbicara dengan dokter perempuan.
Ada lagi?
Ya...di sini belum ada sekolah menengah. Yang ada hanya SD. Jadi anak-anak kami
setelah SD harus pergi ke Banyubiru untuk bersekolah di SMP dan SMA.
O begitu. Lalu apakah ada masalah lain, Bu?
Di desa kami belum ada pabrik. Di desa kami banyak juga orang yang belum bekerja.
Kalau ada pabrik pasti mereka dapat bekerja. Dan ekonomi desa kami akan lebih baik.
Ada masalah lainnya?
Ada satu lagi. Di desa kami tidak ada lapangan atau gedung olahraga. Anak-anak kami
sangat suka berolahraga seperti sepak bola dan badminton. Tapi tidak ada lapangan atau
gedung untuk mereka.

Saying the Alphabet in Indonesian
You may have noticed already that abbreviations are often used in Indonesian. There are literally thousands of commonly used acronyms
and abbreviations, and they pop up in profusion in every domain of life.
It is important to be able to recognise and use the most frequent
ones, and it is equally important to pronounce them correctly. Homework is known as PR, pronounced “pe er”, and a first aid kit is known in Indonesian as P3K pronounced “pe tiga ka”, where the 3 indicates that the letter P occurs three times. P3K is the abbreviation of Pertolongan Pertama Pada Kecelakaan (first aid in an accident).
In all languages that use the Roman, also called the Latin, alphabet, each letter of the language
has its own name. These “names” usually mimic the way the letter is pronounced, but in English
the name of a letter is not always related to its pronunciation. The letter W is called “double u” because it is a novel letter composed of a reduplicated U (which historically was written V).
Lesson 66
In Indonesian, if you spell the letters of the alphabet, their “names” always correctly reproduce
the sound the letter. Listen to the Sound File 066-01 and try to memorise the alphabet.

Cara Indonesia: The Alphabet and History
The Indonesian term for “alphabet” is abjad, and for “letter (of the
alphabet)” huruf. Both these words are borrowed from Arabic. Just as the
English word “alphabet” derives from the first two letters of the Greek alphabet (alpha and beta), so too the Arabic term abjad is a snapshot of the first
four letters of the Arabic alphabet (ā b j d). And just as the English words “letter” and “literally” are etymologically related (both ultimately descended from
the Latin litera), so too in Indonesian the words huruf (letter) and harafiah (literally) are derived from the same Arabic root: h-r-f.
The Indonesian alphabet, with its combination of Arabic terminology and
European letters that are pronounced Dutchstyle, preserves a memory of the history of literacy in Indonesia. With the arrival of Islam the Arabic abjad became
widely used in the islands of Indonesia, but during the era of Dutch
colonial rule it was almost wholly displaced in everyday life by the
Western European alphabet inherited from the Roman empire.
Learn to say the huruf in alphabetical order first, then using flashcards with a single letter written on each, practise saying the letters
of the abjad in random or shuffled order. Then take some common
abbreviations from your own environment and practise saying them
Indonesian-style.
Right: Belajar Abjad ABC. © Titik Yuni
Mohon Perhatian!!
It is still quite common to hear variant pronunciations of the letters of the abjad.
For example, the letter C is still quite often pronounced like “say” as it used to be
before the spelling reform of 1972. In Module 3 of The Indonesian Way you met the
term WC (a toilet) which is still widely pronounced “way say” rather than “way chay”
(although the latter pronunciation is sometimes heard too). Similarly the term AC (air
conditioning) is usually pronounced “ah say”. Sometimes too you hear people use
“ee grek” for the letter Y and “koo” for the letter Q. But these are exceptions for noting only. Apart
from saying “way say” and “ah say” you probably won’t need to practise using them.
Lesson 66
Asking How Something Is Spelled / Written / Pronounced
Your name may be unfamiliar to the Indonesian people you meet and you may have to spell it
out letter by letter. Also, as you study the Indonesian language you will often encounter difficult
personal names or place names, not to mention ordinary items of vocabulary. You will need to ask
about the spelling of these words and recognise this spelling when it is spoken to you. To ask
how something is spelled you say:
Bagaimana ejaannya?
How is it spelled?
Bagaimana ejaan nama teman Anda?
What is the spelling of your friend’s name?
Bagaimana tulisannya?
How is it written?
Similarly, when you read a word or name (or hear it indistinctly), it may not be clear to you how
it should be pronounced, so you may need to ask:
Bagaimana ucapannya?
How is it pronounced?
Bagaimana ejaan kata “air”?
How do you spell the word “air”?
Siapa nama Bapak?
Nama saya Sudibyo.
Maaf siapa?
Sudibyo.
Bagaimana tulisannya?
es u de i be ye o.
Terima kasih, Pak. Maaf, Pak, sekali
lagi bagaimana ucapannya?
su di byo.
Sudibyo. Terima kasih. Bapak berasal
dari mana?
Saya dari Wates.
Wates? Bagaimana ejaannya, Pak?
we a te e es.
Wa...tes. Hm, ucapannya bagaimana?
Wates.
Wates. Terima kasih, Pak.
Terima kasih kembali.

in Indonesia. Here are some of them. Listen to Sound File 066-03.

Role Play: Getting The Details Right
Imagine that you are a reporter (seorang wartawan), a researcher (seorang peneliti), a census
official (seorang pegawai dari kantor sensus) or an office clerk (seorang pegawai kantor). With a
fellow student, or with your teacher/tutor, devise a dialogue in which you quiz a older person on
their personal details. Use Bapak and Ibu, the second person pronouns that are appropriate for
addressing an older person whom you don’t know well.You need to be sure that you record their
details with perfect accuracy, concentrating particularly on the spelling and pronunciation of personal names and place names. You verify the accuracy of the information you are recording by
asking:
and
Bagaimana tulisannya?
Bagaimana ejaanya?
Bagaimana ucapannya?
Go back to the model dialogue (Sound File 066-02
go. Notice especially the use of these terms:
Maaf? (when you haven’t heard clearly or didn’t understand)
Sorry?
Sekali lagi. (when you want someone to repeat what they just said)
Once again/Once more.
The questions you ask will probably include:
Siapa nama Bapak/Ibu?
Bapak/Ibu berasal dari mana?
Apa alamat Bapak/Ibu?
Di mana Bapak/Ibu bekerja?

Latihan 5—Rangkai Kata
Word order in nonverbal clauses is flexible. Usually the subject precedes the predicate which
contains the new information. So if you are asked “Who is your teacher?” you put the new information (the fact that your teacher is Pak Hamid) into the predicate: “Guru saya Pak Hamid”. The
predicate may also precede the subject: “Pak Hamid guru saya”. This is usually done in order to
emphasise the predicate: “Mr. Hamid is my teacher.”
Note that question words (siapa, apa, di mana etc) when they are predicate usually precede the
subject: “Siapa guru Anda?” is more common than “Guru Anda siapa?” but both constructions
are grammatically perfectly acceptable.
Subject – Predicate
Rumah saya besar.
Siapa nama Bapak?
Rumah itu masih baru.
Anda mau pergi ke mana?
Alamat rumah Bapak apa?
Bapak bekerja di mana?
Bapak bersekolah di mana dulu?
Nama anak Bapak siapa?
Harganya berapa?
Bajumu bagus sekali.
Predicate – Subject
Besar rumah saya.
Translation
My house is big.

Before, After, Above and Below
The prepositions sebelum (before), sesudah (after), di atas (above) and di bawah (below) have
appeared in previous lessons of The Indonesian Way. Let’s review them briefly.
Sebelum and sesudah can appear before a noun or name, and before a verb. In the latter case
the verb is the counterpart of the English gerund, or the –ing form of a verb, in phrases like “before going”, “after eating” etc.
Sebelum saya bersembahyang saya selalu mandi dulu.
Before I do my prayers I always take a bath first.
Lesson 67
Sebelum bersembahyang saya selalu mandi dulu.
Before doing my prayers I always take a bath first.
Sesudah Sarah pulang dia makan dengan suaminya.
After Sarah comes home she has a meal with her husband.
Sesudah pulang Sarah makan dengan suaminya.
After coming home Sarah has a meal with her husband.
Sebelum itu and sebelumnya (before that, prior to that) and sesudah itu or sesudahnya (after
that, later) are very common and very useful conjunctions.
Depending on context, di atas can mean “on top of” and also “above” or “over” or “up there”.
Similarly di bawah can mean “underneath”, but also “below” or “beneath” or “down there”. Ke
atas and ke bawah suggest movement towards a place.
Dia duduk di atas meja!
She sat on top of the table!
Pesawat terbang lewat di atas pulau kecil.
The plane passed over a small island.
Mereka berjalan ke atas.
They walked up to the top.
Wisatawan itu melihat ke bawah.
The tourist looked down.
Both atas and bawah can function as adjectives, usually meaning “upper” and “lower” respectively.

Sistem Pendidikan di Indonesia (Bagian Satu)
The main goal of this Module is to give you the capacity to talk about work and occupations,
especially in the context of an interview for a job. To do this well you need to be able to ask and
answer questions about schooling, especially schooling in Indonesia.
Lesson 67
Here is the first part of some basic information about school education in Indonesia (the
second part follows in the next lesson). This is a passage of semi-technical Indonesian. Read it
through carefully checking for unfamiliar words in the vocabulary cards for this lesson.
Listen to Sound File 067-02. When you have finished listening to the sound file and
reading the transcription, test your understanding of this text by doing Latihan 3–5.
Jenis-Jenis Sekolah
Di Indonesia ada bermacam-macam sekolah. Misalnya ada sekolah negeri, ada juga sekolah swasta. Ada sekolah umum, ada juga sekolah kejuruan. Ada sekolah pagi, ada juga sekolah siang. Ada
sekolah dasar, dan ada juga sekolah menengah.
Dan ada juga sekolah internasional yang memakai bahasa Inggris, bahasa Jepang, bahasa Prancis
dan bahasa-bahasa lain. Anak Indonesia boleh
bersekolah di sekolah internasional tetapi sekolah
internasional tidak termasuk dalam sistem pendidikan sekolah di Indonesia.
Sekolah negeri itu milik pemerintah. Guru-guru
di sekolah negeri itu pegawai negeri. Sekolah
swasta itu milik organisasi swasta. Organisasi swasta sebagian besar organisasi agama. Ada
banyak sekolah milik organisasi-organisasi Islam. Ada juga sekolah Katolik, sekolah Kristen dan sekolah Hindu. Guru-guru di sekolah swasta bukan pegawai negeri. Ada sekolah
umum yang memberikan bermacam-macam mata pelajaran umum tetapi ada juga sekolah
kejuruan. Di sana anak dapat belajar tentang bermacam-macam pekerjaan. Semua sekolah
memberikan mata pelajaran “muatan lokal”. Dalam mata pelajaran “muatan lokal” anak-anak belajar tentang hal-hal yang penting untuk daerah tempat mereka tinggal. Oleh karena itu setiap daerah di Indonesia mempunyai kurikulum yang sedikit berbeda dengan
kurikulum di daerah-daerah lain.
Gedung sekolah di Indonesia masih kurang banyak. Oleh karena itu ada sekolah yang memakai gedung sekolah pada pagi hari saja, mulai jam tujuh pagi sampai jam 12 siang. Lalu
ada sekolah lain yang memakai gedung itu pada siang hari, mulai jam satu siang sampai
jam enam sore.
Pendidikan Dasar
Ada tiga tingkat pendidikan: pendidikan dasar, pendidikan menengah dan pendidikan
tinggi. Untuk anak yang berumur enam tahun sampai dua belas tahun ada sekolah dasar
(SD). Ada kira-kira seratus empat puluh ribu (140.000) sekolah dasar di Indonesia. Hampir di setiap desa ada sekolah dasar. Di sekolah dasar anak belajar membaca dan menulis.
Mereka juga belajar matematika dasar, ilmu pengetahuan dasar, bahasa Indonesia, sejarah
Indonesia, sejarah dunia, agama, ilmu bumi Indonesia, ilmu bumi dunia, kerajinan tangan
dan menyanyi. Di samping itu, mereka belajar olahraga seperti sepak bola, bulu tangkis
dan bola voli. Biasanya ada kebun di sekolah dasar dan anak juga menanam sayur-sayuran
dan bermacam-macam tanaman lain. Di samping bekerja di kebun anak-anak juga harus
menyapu gedung sekolah dan halaman sekolah.
Lesson 67
Exercise 67-01—Indonesia’s Complex School System
As you can see from Bagian Satu of Sistem Pendidikan Sekolah di Indonesia, Indonesia’s
school system is quite complex. There are at least eight variables that determine what a sekolah is
like:
negeri
swasta
umum
kejuruan
pagi
siang
dasar
menengah
Go to the internet, or to whatever other reliable sources you can find, and craft some authentic-sounding names for three imaginary (or real) Indonesian schools.
Then…
(i) refer to the list of variables above, and (ii) lift phrases and words from “Sistem Pendidikan
Sekolah di Indonesia” to record brief profiles for each of the three schools, perhaps eight or ten
sentences for each school (more if you can manage it). Make each school as different as possible
from the others. Record complete sentences and use your imagination to add unique details for
each school. For example, say very precisely where the school is (di Jalan _____, di samping…, di
dekat…, tidak jauh dari….). How many anak study at the school, how many guru teach at the
school, and how many pegawai work in the office at the school? What is the name of the kepala
sekolah?
When you are satisfied that your profiles are in correct Indonesian and as detailed as possible,
learn the main features of each profile by heart and present the information in fluent, confident, clear spoken Indonesian.
For example you might start as Sound File 067-03:
S
aya ingin memberikan sedikit informasi tentang tiga sekolah di Indonesia. Pertama-tama, Sekolah Dasar Kemiri. Sekolah Dasar Kemiri di desa Simpang tidak jauh dari pusat
kota Padang di Sumatra Barat. Tiga ratus anak bersekolah di sekolah itu, dan ada dua puluh guru. Jadi sekolah itu tidak kecil tetapi juga tidak besar sekali. Sekolah itu sekolah negeri. Sekolah negeri itu milik pemerintah. Guru-guru di Sekolah Dasar Kemiri itu pegawai
negeri.
You can also do this exercise with a tutor or with other learners. In this case you can turn this
exercise into an interactive one having your audience ask you questions after you have finished,
or better still, they should interrupt you (Permisi…) as you speak. Some of their questions might
start like this:
Ada berapa …. di sekolah itu?
Apakah sekolah itu sekolah negeri / besar / modern / … … … ?
Apakah ada …. di sekolah itu?
Di sekolah itu, apakah anak-anak dapat belajar … ?

Lesson 68
Sistem Pendidikan di Indonesia (Bagian Dua)
In Lesson 67 you made a start reading semi-technical Indonesian on the subject of
schooling in Indonesia. Here is the second part of this description. Read it carefully checking for unfamiliar words in the word list for this lesson. Listen to Sound File 068-01.
Pendidikan Menengah & Pendidikan Kejuruan
Pendidikan Menengah
esudah selesai belajar pada tingkat sekolah dasar, anak-anak masuk sekolah menengah.
Biasanya mereka masuk sekolah menengah kira-kira pada umur 12 atau 13 tahun. Ada
berbagai sekolah menengah. Pertama-tama, ada dua tingkat sekolah menengah: Sekolah
Menengah Pertama (SMP) dan Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA). SMP masih memberikan
mata pelajaran dasar: matematika dasar, ilmu pengetahuan dasar, agama, sejarah Indonesia
dan dunia, dan tentu saja juga bahasa Indonesia. Di samping itu para siswa belajar juga bahasa asing seperti bahasa Inggris dan Mandarin dan juga ilmu pengetahuan alam seperti kimia dan fisika. Biasanya para siswa belajar di SMP selama tiga tahun sampai mereka berumur 15 atau 16 tahun.
Setelah lulus SMP para siswa masuk SMA. Pelajaran di SMA bersifat umum dengan mata
pelajaran seperti matematika, ilmu pengetahuan sosial dan alam, sejarah, bahasa Indonesia
dan bahasa asing.
S
Pendidikan Kejuruan
i samping SMA yang pelajaran bersifat umum ada juga lebih dari enam ribu sekolah
menengah kejuruan (SMK). Di sekolah kejuruan para siswa belajar bermacam-macam
keterampilan seperti misalnya keterampilan bekerja sebagai tukang kayu, tukang masak, tukang listrik, montir, sekretaris, karyawan hotel dan banyak lagi. Mereka belajar tentang bisnis, akuntansi, ilmu ekonomi, cara mengetik, cara memakai komputer dan bagaimana cara
mengurus kantor dengan efisien.
D
Now test your understanding of this passage by doing Latihan 7.
Lesson 68
Islamic Education
Indonesia has a huge number of Islamic schools that operate beyond the direct jurisdiction of
the Department of National Education (Departemen Pendidikan Nasional). Many of them are traditional, independent, community schools supported and staffed by local people. Tuition in them
varies wildly across the country but usually centres on learning Arabic, reading the Koran and
studying Islamic theology, law, history and culture. Elementary-level Koranic schools are called
madrasah and more advanced schools are called pesantren (also pondok schools and pondok
pesantren) . Pesantren schools are usually under the leadership of a respected teacher (in Java,
called a kiai or kyai) who has a deep knowledge of Islam. Most offer boarding facilities for their
students. Traditionally, and to a large extent even today, pesantren students studied books of religious commentary in Arabic known as “yellow books” (kitab kuning). The style of study was – and
mostly still is – very traditional, involving rote learning of texts and unquestioning deference to the
authority of the kiai.
There is also an Islamic school system that stands somewhere between traditional Koranic
schools and state-funded secular schools. These schools offer explicitly Islamic education but
they are also state schools in the sense that they are funded and administered by the government’s Department of Religion (Departemen Agama) rather than the Departemen Pendidikan Nasional. Nevertheless, they implement a curriculum similar to that of regular state (negeri) and private
(swasta) schools by including non-religious subjects like mathematics, science and English. In this
system the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah are elementary-level schools equivalent to SD schools, the Madrasah Tsanawiyah operate at the SMP level and the Madrasah Aliyah operate at the SMA level.
Religious studies are slowly becoming increasingly important in state and private schools in
which the curriculum is regulated by the Departemen Pendidikan Nasional, and conversely, “secular” studies are becoming increasingly important in Islamic schools that are regulated by the Departemen Agama. Students can, and do, move between regular schools – both negeri and swasta
– and the Islamic system.

Using simple, correct Indonesian in complete sentences, answer these questions about your
own education. Your answer should contain somewhere in it the word/phrase given in brackets
after the question. Copy vocabulary, phrases, abbreviations and sentences from Sistem Pendidikan Sekolah di Indonesia (bagian satu and bagian dua) to help you compile your answers, but make
sure the information you give is correct and authentic.
1. Dulu, waktu Anda bersekolah pada tingkat sekolah dasar, di mana Anda belajar? (dulu
saya belajar)
2. Anda belajar apa di sekolah dasar? (saya belajar)
3. Tahun berapa Anda masuk sekolah menengah? (pada tahun)
4. Apa nama sekolah menengah itu, dan di mana? (dan sekolah itu di)
5. Apakah sekolah menengah itu sekolah negeri atau sekolah swasta? (sekolah itu)
6. Anda belajar apa di sekolah menengah? (dan)
7. Berapa lama Anda belajar pada tingkat sekolah menengah? (selama)
8. Di samping belajar mata pelajaran umum, Anda juga mengambil mata pelajaran kejuruan
yang mana? (mata pelajaran)
9. Dulu, Anda paling suka mata pelajaran yang mana? Mengapa? (karena)
10. Waktu bersekolah dulu, Anda bermain olahraga apa? (suka)
Write, then Talk, about the Education System You Know
Taking the report Sistem Pendidikan Sekolah di Indonesia (bagian satu and bagian dua) as your
beginning point, adapt it and add to it to produce a short, semi-technical written account of the
school education system that you are most familiar with. Like Sistem Pendidikan Sekolah di Indonesia your report should cover
• kinds of school
• levels of schooling
• subjects studied, and
• some basic statistics about schools and schooling
When you have written a solid correct narrative, summarise its basic points and statistics in a
PowerPoint presentation. Use the PowerPoint slides as mnemonics and illustrations to help you
present a short talk in Indonesian about the school education system that you are most familiar

Do not try to put the complete text of your talk in to your slideshow, just the main points and
some important statistics and perhaps some pictures or maps. Rehearse your talk several times,
refining it, editing the PowerPoint slides, checking your correctness, adding details, and increasing the length of your talk each time you repeat it.
Present your talk to your class or teacher/tutor. Invite them to ask questions (Ada pertanyaan?).
There are many kinds of questions that can be asked, but probably some of the most common
would be questions beginning with Apakah ada…? (Is there…? / Are there…?) and Ada berapa..?
(How many ___ are there…?).

Perguruan Tinggi di Indonesia
Read the passage below about higher education institution in Indonesia. When you have
finished listening to Sound File 069-01, complete Latihan 3–6 to check your understanding.
Perguruan Tinggi di Indonesia
Di Indonesia ada hampir 500 lembaga dan tiga jenis perguruan tinggi: perguruan tinggi negeri,
perguruan tinggi swasta dan perguruan tinggi kedinasan.
Di antara lembaga perguruan tinggi ada
universitas, akademi, politeknik, sekolah
tinggi dan institut. Universitas memberikan
pendidikan yang bersifat luas dengan bermacam-macam fakultas dan mata kuliah.
Ada berbagai program mulai dari Diploma
sampai program Doktor.
Siswa yang ingin masuk universitas negeri harus ikut ujian masuk yang namanya
SPMB (Seleksi Penerimaan Mahasiswa
Baru). Kalau mereka lulus ujian SPMB mereka boleh masuk universitas negeri. Tetapi
tentu saja mereka harus memilih program
studi. Ada bermacam-macam fakultas dan
Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) di Yogyakarta. This work by Eric Beerkens is
mata kuliah pada tingkat universitas. Misallicensed under a CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 License
nya para mahasiswa dapat belajar ilmu pengetahuan seperti ilmu kimia dan pertanian. Mereka dapat juga memilih fakultas hukum, kedokteran, ilmu ekonomi atau ilmu politik. Mereka dapat juga memilih fakultas teknik dan belajar teknik kimia atau teknik mesin. Ada juga yang belajar bahasa asing seperti bahasa Inggris, Jepang,
Jerman, Mandarin, atau Prancis. Mata kuliah sejarah atau bisnis juga populer. Atau bisa juga
mereka belajar menjadi guru di Fakultas Pendidikan.
Hampir semua provinsi mempunyai universitas negeri. Di Jakarta ada Universitas Indonesia
(UI), di Yogyakarta ada Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), dan di Bandung ada Institut Teknologi
Bandung (ITB). UI, UGM dan ITB itu universitas negeri yang besar dan terkenal. Ada juga universitas swasta yang terkenal, misalnya Universitas Trisakti (Usakti), Universitas Katolik Indonesia
Atmajaya dan Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH).
Sekolah tinggi seperti akademi dan politeknik memberikan pendidikan kejuruan seperti teknologi informatika, pariwisata, atau akuntansi. Perguruan tinggi kedinasan mendidik mahasiswa
dari departemen pemerintah. Misalnya Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara (STAN) di Jakarta mendidik pegawai dari Departemen Keuangan dan Akademi Militer (AKMIL) di Magelang mendidik
siswa yang akan menjadi perwira dalam Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI).

Talking about your Education
Here is a simple narrative in which the speaker describes her schooling: its pleasures
and difficulties, and its outcome. Read the narrative very carefully several times. Try to
memorise the steps in the narrative. Remember its key phrases and words. After reading it
you will have to tell your own story in similar terms by doing the Education Resume exercise. Also
check your understanding of this story by doing Latihan 7–8. Listen to Sound File 069-02.
N
ama saya Farah. Saya lahir di Medan pada tahun seribu sembilan ratus delapan puluh
enam. Jadi sekarang saya berumur dua puluh lima tahun. Waktu berumur enam tahun saya masuk sekolah dasar. Di sekolah dasar saya belajar membaca dan menulis, dan
juga matematika dan bahasa Indonesia. Di samping itu saya belajar menyanyi dan olahraga.
Pada waktu itu guru saya Ibu Nuriah dan Bapak Fauzi.
Saya belajar di sekolah dasar selama enam tahun. Lalu, waktu berumur tiga belas tahun,
saya masuk sekolah menengah. Belajar di sekolah menengah itu jauh lebih sulit daripada di
sekolah dasar. Tentu saja saya masih belajar matematika dan bahasa Indonesia, tetapi saya
juga belajar ilmu pengetahuan alam, ilmu pengetahuan sosial, sejarah Indonesia, bahasa
Inggris dan agama Islam. Di samping itu saya juga belajar menyanyi dan olahraga seperti
bola voli dan bulu tangkis. Saya pandai bermain voli. Pada waktu itu saya mempunyai beberapa teman yang bernama Maryam, Dewi dan Wati. Setiap hari kami bersama-sama ke
sekolah. Pulang dari sekolah kami belajar bersama dan sering juga kami menonton film di
bioskop.
Saya belajar pada tingkat sekolah menengah selama enam tahun. Dalam ujian akhir saya lulus dengan hasil yang baik. Oleh karena itu saya masuk Universitas Sumatra Utara. Pada
waktu itu saya berumur sembilan belas tahun. Saya mengambil mata kuliah sejarah karena
saya ingin menjadi guru sejarah. Tetapi pada tahun pertama saya tidak lulus karena saya lebih suka bermain-main dengan teman-teman. Kami lebih suka mendengarkan musik rock
dan setiap malam Minggu kami ke disko untuk berdansa. Jarang kami belajar! Pada waktu
itu saya masih muda, baru berumur dua puluh tahun.
Sesudah itu saya mengambil mata kuliah matematika dan teknik sipil. Saya lebih tertarik
pada matematika dan teknik sipil. Ternyata saya lulus dengan hasil yang cukup baik. Sekarang saya masih suka mendengarkan musik rock dan saya juga masih sering menonton film,
bermain voli dan berdansa di disko, tetapi sekarang saya sudah menjadi insinyur! Saya bekerja di berbagai proyek pembangunan. Pekerjaan itu sulit tetapi menyenangkan. Saya senang menjadi insinyur.
Exercise 069-01: Education Resume
Now it’s your turn. Read the following passage out loud. The passage is the same as the one
you have just studied above, but there are gaps in it where words have been deleted. When you
read it, fill in the gaps with appropriate words that, as far as possible, reflect your own schooling
(it probably won’t be exactly the same, but try to make your narrative as close to your own experi-
Lesson 69
ence as possible). Do this over and over until you can read the passage without hesitating, inserting the right words as you go.
Nama saya _________. Saya lahir di _________ pada tahun seribu sembilan ratus
_________. Jadi sekarang saya berumur _________ tahun. Waktu saya berumur enam tahun saya masuk sekolah dasar. Di sekolah dasar saya belajar membaca dan menulis.
Saya juga belajar _________ dan _________. Di samping itu saya belajar _________ dan

Use the passage above as a kick-off point, but delete and add information, change the order of
things etc. so that you can describe more accurately what your own schooling was really like. Go
back over the last three lessons and review the vocabulary, grammar and model sentences that
deal with education. As soon as you can, put aside this book and the model passage. Your ultimate aim should be to tell the story of your schooling correctly and in detail, even if in simple
form, without referring to any written models or help. Once you are confident that you have
mastered a thoroughly-rehearsed, correct, fluently spoken, and personally authentic account of
Lesson 69
your education, tell it to fellow students or to your teacher/tutor and invite them to ask you questions about it.
There are many questions that might be asked, but try to give prominence to the questions you
practised earlier in this lesson… questions like:

Ordinal Numbers
As the term “ordinal” suggests, ordinal numbers are those that indicate the order in which
things appear in a sequence or a list. In English, ordinal numbers start with “the first” and go on to
“the second”, “the third”, “the fourth” and so on.
In Indonesian, the term for “first” is pertama. After pertama, all ordinal numbers are formed with
total regularity by attaching the prefix ke- to the cardinal number concerned. Frequently yang precedes the ordinal. Thus
yang kedua
the second
yang ketiga
the third
yang kedua puluh
the twentieth
yang keseratus
the one hundredth

ama saya Lukas Mitang. Saya lahir di
kota Bajawa di Pulau Flores pada tahun
1978. Saya mulai belajar di sekolah dasar
“Budi Luhur” di Ende. Saya belajar di sana selama enam tahun, dari 1984 sampai 1990.
Saya belajar membaca, menulis dan matematika dasar. Waktu belajar di SD saya tinggal dengan kakak saya yang bekerja di Ende. Sesudah lulus sekolah dasar pada tahun yang keenam saya masuk Sekolah Menengah Pertama
Shutterstock
di Kupang pada tahun 1991. Di SMP Kupang saya mengambil mata pelajaran Pancasila, bahasa Indonesia, bahasa Inggris, matematika, ilmu ekonomi, sejarah Indonesia dan ilmu pengetahuan. Saya juga belajar olahraga.
Waktu di SMP saya senang sekali bermain bulu tangkis.
Lalu pada tahun 1994 saya masuk Sekolah Teknik Menengah Atas di Kupang. Sekolah
Teknik Menengah Atas itu sekolah kejuruan. Waktu itu saya berumur enam belas tahun.
Saya belajar di STMA selama tiga tahun. Di STMA saya mengambil mata pelajaran matematika, bahasa Inggris, teknik pertanian dan ilmu ekonomi pertanian. Saya lulus dengan
hasil yang baik. Sesudah selesai belajar pada tingkat sekolah menengah atas saya pindah ke
Yogyakarta di Pulau Jawa. Saya ikut Seleksi Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru di Yogyakarta dan
saya memperoleh hasil yang baik.
Pada waktu itu saya menjadi bingung karena tidak tahu harus belajar apa. Saya juga tidak
tahu sebaiknya belajar di mana. Jadi saya berbicara dengan paman saya yang menjadi pegawai negeri Departemen Pendidikan Nasional di Yogyakarta. Paman saya mengatakan sebaiknya memilih universitas Katolik saja dan mengambil teknik pertanian karena waktu saya
belajar pada tingkat sekolah menengah atas saya pandai dalam mata pelajaran matematika.
Tetapi bibi tidak setuju. Menurut bibi, saya lebih pandai dalam mata pelajaran bahasa Inggris. Jadi katanya sebaiknya mengambil bahasa Inggris saja di tingkat universitas. Bibi juga
mengatakan sebaiknya saya jangan masuk universitas swasta seperti universitas Katolik. Lebih baik masuk universitas negeri, katanya.
Lesson 70
Tentu saja saya menjadi lebih bingung lagi karena tidak tahu apa yang harus saya lakukan.
Sesudah berpikir lama saya memilih kuliah teknik pertanian tetapi bukan di universitas Katolik. Katanya jurusan teknik pertanian di Universitas Gadjah Mada cukup baik. UGM itu
universitas negeri. Dosen di UGM terkenal pandai dan laboratoriumnya juga bagus. Jadi
saya masuk Fakultas Pertanian di UGM.
Pada tahun yang pertama saya mengambil mata kuliah ekonomi pertanian, bahasa Inggris
dan teknik dasar. Untuk saya mata kuliah ekonomi pertanian menarik sekali. Saya sangat
senang ikut kuliah ilmu ekonomi pertanian. Saya juga tertarik pada kuliah bahasa Inggris.
Mata kuliah bahasa Inggris sukar tetapi saya lulus dengan hasil yang baik. Pada tahun yang
kedua saya mengambil mata kuliah ilmu ekonomi pertanian dan bahasa Inggris lagi. Di
samping itu saya mengambil mata kuliah teknik mesin dasar dan matematika. Pada tahun
yang ketiga saya mengambil teknik mesin dan bahasa Inggris. Saya lulus ujian bahasa Inggris dan teknik mesin dengan hasil yang baik tetapi hasil saya dalam mata kuliah matematika kurang baik.
Pada tahun yang keempat saya mengambil mata kuliah sosiologi pertanian. Selama tiga bulan kami harus tinggal di desa dengan keluarga petani. Setiap hari kami membantu para petani bekerja di sawah, berkebun, dan memelihara sapi, kerbau, ayam dan kambing. Kami
juga membantu membawa hasil pertanian ke pasar.
Sesudah empat tahun belajar di UGM saya lulus dengan gelar Sarjana pada tahun 2008.
Pada tahun yang pertama sesudah lulus saya tidak bekerja tetapi pada tahun kedua saya
memperoleh pekerjaan pada sebuah usaha tani di dekat kota Ungaran. Sampai sekarang
saya masih bekerja pada usaha tani itu tetapi saya mencari pekerjaan di Pulau Flores. Saya
ingin sekali bekerja di Flores karena saya lahir di sana dan ingin membantu pembangunan
di pulau itu.
Affixation
Affixation is the morphological process whereby an affix is attached to the root or stem of a
word. Affixes can be attached at the beginning (prefixation), in the middle (infixation) or the end
(suffixation) of words. Infixation is rarely found in Indonesian, but in many cases prefixes and suffixes can be combined to form circumfixes.
The word kejuruan, for instance, consist of the root juru (skilled workman) and has a prefix (ke-)
and a suffix (-an) attached to it. The combination of prefix and suffix is known as a circumfix. The
circumfix ke-...-an here has the function to form the abstract noun kejuruan (vocation). In the coming weeks and months you will learn more about affixation, which is the morphological process
whereby an affix (prefix and/or suffix) is attached to a root or stem of a word.
The following gives you an overview of the affixes occurring in our small reading text. Affixated
words are printed in bold.

The noun-forming circumflex per-...-an is derived from intransitive ber- verbs.

bertani

Lesson 70
peN-...-an
The noun-forming circumflex peN-...-an is derived from transitive meN- (including meN-...-kan
and meN-...-i verbs) verbs. The resulting nouns are “active verbal nouns” describing the process
or the act of doing something
membangun (bangun)
to build
pembangunan
the process of building
mengetahui (ke=tahu=i) to know something
pengetahuan
knowledge
menerima (terima)
to accept
penerimaan
acceptance
mendidik (duduk)
to educate
pendidikan
education
berThe prefix ber- forms intransitive verbs. Often the roots by themselves are not used independently; ajar does not occur in any other context but in the phrase kurang ajar ‘extremely rude’, a
swearword; bicara rarely occurs on it’s own – if it does it is usually the colloquial form of berbicara
where the prefix ber- has been dropped. Based on nouns ber- verbs usually have the meaning ‘to
have’ or ‘to wear’ (e.g. nama ‘name’ bernama ‘to have a name’, buah ‘fruit’ berbuah ‘to have
fruits’, bersepatu ‘to wear shoes’).

meNThe prefix meN- forms transitive verbs. The N stands for the nasal that is often attached
between the prefix me- and the base. The nasal can be n, ng, m, ny, or Ø. If a base has p, t, or k
as initial consonant then the consonant is replaced by the nasal.
You have learned that the meaning of menurut is ‘according to’. In fact it is a verb meaning ‘to
follow’ and ‘to obey’, so the phrase menurut pendapat saya ‘according to my opinion’ literally
means ‘following my opinion’. Menarik ‘interesting’ is also a verb meaning ‘to pull, attract’. Menengah is derived from tengah ‘middle’, and is only found in combination with sekolah or pendidikan
– in Indonesian as well as in Malaysian.

keThis prefix forms ordinal numbers: kedua ‘second’, ketiga ‘third’ etc.
-nya
This suffix can have several functions: the main function is that of a third perfect personal pronoun, e.g. rumahnya ‘his house’, sepedanya ‘her bike’, and laboratoriumnya ‘its laboratory’. In its
latter function as a neutral personal pronoun it often functions in a similar way as the English definite article ‘the’.
Ke-...-an and -an are both noun-forming affixes. The circumflex ke-...-an is usually quite predictable in that it forms abstract nouns which are most often based on adjectives, e.g. baik ‘kind’
kebaikan ‘kindness’, kaya ‘miskin’ kekayaan ‘wealth’, tinggi ‘high’ ketinggian ‘altitude’ etc. When
attached to nouns it still forms abstract nouns, e.g. juru ‘specialist, artisan’ and sekolah kejuruan
‘specialist school’. Compare also fakultas kedokteran ‘college of medicine’, ilmu kelautan ‘oceanology’,
The suffix -an is most often based on verbal bases: minum ‘drink’ minuman ‘ a drink’, makan to
eat’ makanan ‘food’, menjurus ‘to point into a certain direction’ jurusan ‘direction, (academic) department’.
For the other affixes ter-, memper- and se-...-nya we have encountered too few examples so
that they will be discussed at a later time.
Sneddon’s grammar gives an exhaustive overview of the above, and the many other affixes in
the Indonesian language. You may also want to check out http://www.bahasakita.com/grammar.

terlalu jauh dari kota.
Menurut pendapat Bapak kuliah hukum

Saya kira kuliah hukum itu sukar tetapi
sama sekali tidak membosankan karena
kami selalu berbicara tentang kasuskasus menarik.

Oh, biasanya hasil ujian saya cukup
baik.
Sesudah tamat kuliah Bapak bekerja di

substitution table for more practice in asking and answering about your or your friends’ education.
Substitution Tables
The questions and answers in this dialogue can be fleshed out in the form of substitution
tables. Substitution tables allow you to practise sentences patterns over and over, but with lots of
variation. Study the pairs of substitution tables below. Practise generating questions using the
first substitution table in each pair, and generating answers from the second table in the pair.
Make sure question and answer fit together sensibly. You should try to learn by heart as much of
the substitution tables as you can. Try also to elaborate on them by making your own additions to
key columns in each table.

Finding Out About Someone’s Education
Interrogate your classmates or your teacher/tutor about their education. Imagine that you are
talking to someone significantly older than yourself. Use Bapak and Ibu when you are talking to
this older person.
The model dialogue, substitution tables and Exercise 71-01 in this lesson give you a portfolio
of resources that you can use to ask and answer questions about someone’s education. Review
Lessons 67, 68, 69 and 70 will also help you frame questions and answer them.
Don’t forget to listen with interest to the answers that are given to your questions. Show interest, and keep the conversation interactive, with phrases like:
O begitu. (I see. Is that so.)
Kalau begitu…. (If that’s the case…)
Nanti dulu. (Just a moment.)
Aduh! (Wow! Oh!)
Maaf, boleh saya bertanya? (Sorry, can I ask you something?)
Memang, saya setuju. (That’s right, I agree.)
Wah… maaf, saya sama sekali tidak setuju. (Oh… sorry, I don’t agree at all.)
Lesson 71
Menarik sekali. (That’s very interesting.)
Kasihan! (You poor thing!)
Now Talk to Someone Closer To Your Own Age
Here’s how this lesson’s model dialogue might go if the two speakers were young and
close friends. Listen to Sound File 071-02 and compare it with the more formal model dialogue at the beginning of the lesson.

Kamu lahir di mana?
Aku lahir di Kemiri tahun 1985.
O gitu. Tahun berapa kamu
mulai kuliah?
Aku masuk Universitas Upaya Luhur di
Manado tahun 2003.
Berapa lama belajar di sana?
Aku belajar di sana enam tahun.
Ambil kuliah apa waktu itu?
Di Upaya Luhur aku ambil hukum sama
sejarah dan bahasa Perancis juga.
Kenapa kamu kepingin
belajar hukum?
Yaaa, aku kepingin jadi pengacara.
Universitas Upaya Luhur itu gimana,
sih? Bagus nggak?
Kalo menurutku sih lumayan bagus.
Tapi jauh banget dari kota.
Terus, kuliah hukum itu sulit nggak?
Buat aku sih, kuliah hukum lumayan
sulit tapi nggak ngebosanin, soalnya
kami selalu ngobrol soal kasus-kasus
menarik.
Gimana hasil ujianmu?
Ya. biasanya sih hasilnya baik.
Abis tamat kerja di mana?
Aku pindah ke Jakarta jadi pengacara di
LBH.
LBH? Apaan sih?
LBH itu Lembaga Bantuan Hukum yang
nolong orang miskin bermasalah.
O gitu. Kantornya di mana?
Kantornya di Jalan Kebon Jeruk Timur I,
Nomor 35, Jakarta.
Eka
Do Latihan 4 to check your understanding of this informal version dialogue.
Now, drawing on this dialogue for ideas, go over the substitution tables and Exercise 71-01
and change them so that that they are more informal. For example, all occurrences of Bapak, Ibu
and Anda will be replaced with kamu, and all instances of saya will be replaced with aku. Verbs
with a me- or ber- prefix will lose that prefix. “Apakah questions” will lose their initial apakah and
will adopt a sharply rising inflection. Tidak will become nggak, begitu will become gitu, and ingin
will become kepingin. Informal words like mikir (think), gampang (easy), and sama (and, with) will
appear. And so on. See how many changes you can make to render the substitution tables and
the exercise more informal.
Lesson 71
Then repeat your effort to find out about someone’s education, this time imagining that you are
young and talking to someone roughly the same age as yourself. Adopt a relaxed attitude as you
speak.

Sudah Pernah and Belum Pernah
Sudah pernah and belum pernah are very common phrases, but they are not all that easy to
use idiomatically. Basically pernah adds a dimension of emphasis to sudah or belum, and narrows
their meanings a little.
Savour the difference between these two English sentences.
Have you studied French?
Have you ever studied French?
The first sentence feels like a mild, rather general, inquiry that almost seems to invite more than
just a yes/no answer, whereas the second sentence seems to be asking much more bluntly:
“Have you AT ANY TIME IN THE PAST ever studied French: YES or NO?”
Sudah pernah (and its negative counterpart belum pernah) add an edge of emphasis and specific focus like the second sentence above. They help to form emphatic statements or ask
Lesson 72
straightforward questions, about what you have or haven’t done, or about what has or hasn’t
happened.
Ibu Zainab sudah pernah berkunjung ke Sumatra.
Mrs Zainab has made a visit to Sumatra.
Saya sudah pernah belajar bahasa Arab, tetapi dulu.
I have studied Arabic, but some time back.
Saya belum pernah minum bir Indonesia.
I have never ever drunk Indonesian beer.
Dia belum pernah bekerja pada malam hari.
She has never worked at night.
Apakah dia sudah pernah minta tolong pada pamannya?
Has he ever asked his uncle for help?
Apakah Ibu sudah pernah ke luar negeri?
Have you ever been overseas?
The sudah is often dropped from the phrase sudah pernah, especially if there is another marker
of pastness in the sentence, like dulu, for example.
Dulu Ibu Zainab pernah berkunjung ke Sumatera.
Mrs Zainab once went for a visit to Sumatra.
Saya pernah belajar bahasa Arab, tetapi dulu.
I have studied Arabic, but some time back.
Apakah dia pernah minta tolong pada pamannya?
Has he ever asked his uncle for help?
Apakah Ibu pernah ke luar negeri?
Have you ever been overseas?
When sudah accompanies pernah in a question, the question is answered either with sudah
pernah (in colloquial speech often abbreviated to pernah) or belum pernah, or, more simply, sudah or belum.
Apakah Bapak sudah pernah belajar mengetik?
Have you ever studied how to type?
Sudah. Belum.
Yes, I have.No, I haven’t
Apakah Ibu sudah pernah bekerja pada hari Sabtu atau hari Minggu?
Have you ever worked on a Saturday or Sunday?
Sudah pernah. Belum pernah.
Yes, I have.No, I haven’t
Exercise 72-01
Answer each of these questions either in the affirmative or in the negative by choosing either
sudah or belum. Then add a follow-up sentence beginning with Tetapi and containing sudah pernah o r belum pernah. Refer to yourself as saya irrespective of whether the question addresses
you as Anda, Bapak or Ibu. Study the examples first.
Apakah Ibu sudah pernah belajar mengurus kantor?
Sudah / Belum. Tetapi saya sudah pernah belajar mengetik.
Lesson 72

Saya mulai menulis pada tahun 1978.
Sampai sekarang saya sudah menulis tujuh novel.
Banyak sekali! Katanya novel-novel
Bapak cukup terkenal.

masih miskin.
Ha ha ha! Bapak menulis novel tentang apa?
Saya menulis tentang kehidupan orang
desa di Pulau Jawa. Misalnya dalam novel
saya Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk saya menulis tentang seorang perempuan muda
yang menjadi penari yang terkenal di desanya.
Di samping novel itu apakah ada
buku Bapak yang lain yang terkenal?
Ada. Saya kira novel saya Lintang Kemukus Dinihari cukup terkenal.
O ya. Saya juga pernah membaca novel itu, Pak. Menarik sekali.
Terima kasih.
Di mana Bapak bekerja sekarang?
Dulu saya pernah menjadi wartawan untuk majalah Amanah di Jakarta, tetapi sekarang saya mengurus sekolah Islam di
desa saya.
Tahun berapa Bapak mulai bekerja di
majalah Amanah?
Tahun 1986. Sebelum itu saya menjadi
wartawan di surat kabar Merdeka, juga di
Jakarta.
Apakah Bapak masih menulis novel?
Tentu saja, masih. Saya lebih suka menulis novel daripada menulis berita.
Hmmm, menarik sekali. Apakah Bapak sudah kawin?
Sudah. Nama istri saya Syamsiyah. Dulu
dia seorang guru sekolah dasar.
Sekarang Bapak tinggal di mana?
Saya masih tinggal di desa Tinggarjaya tidak jauh dari kota Purwokerto di Jawa Tengah. Saya lebih senang tinggal di desa
daripada di kota besar tetapi kantor saya
di Jakarta.
Pak Ahmad, saya kira sudah cukup.
Terima kasih, Pak.
Terima kasih kembali.
After having listened to the sound file and reading the transcription, do Latihan 4 and 5 to
check your understanding of this interview.
Now try to reproduce this interview. You don’t need to learn the interview by heart or reproduce it exactly. But it would be helpful to lift words and phrases from it where you can remember
Lesson 72
them. Basically, though, you should reproduce in your own words the main motifs of the interview.
These include:
• place and date of birth
• education (primary school, secondary school and university)
• details of career
• details about family and current activities
To flesh out your interview and make it more authentic go to the internet to find more information about Ahmad Tohari, both in English, and in Indonesian-language web sites. Repeat the interview several times, striving for more authentic detail, better correctness and greater smoothness
each time you repeat it.
Role Play: Interviewing President Obama
Imagine that you are taking part in a television interview between an Indonesian-speaking reporter (wartawan) and President Obama of the United Sates (Presiden Obama dari Amerika
Serikat). As a boy President Obama spent four years living in Indonesia. He attended Sekolah
Dasar Menteng 01 and today still speaks some Indonesian.
Focus especially (but not exclusively) on questions about the president’s youth, education and
career prior to becoming president. Prepare very carefully by researching the president’s life
story. Ransack the model interview earlier in this lesson and review other material in this lesson
and in previous ones. Prepare a script or cue cards if necessary, although you should always
strive not to rely on them. Extract as much life (especially humour) as you can from the role play.
Dress up, or at the very least, adopt some of the mannerisms of the president and of glitzy TV interviewers. Address “President Obama” respectfully as Bapak Presiden.
Don’t be afraid to ask the president “hard questions” provided you frame them in simple but
good Indonesian, and provided “the president” can answer them coherently in simple but good
Indonesian. Above all take scrupulous care to ensure that your Indonesian is authentic and correct.
Your interview might begin something like this:
Selamat datang Bapak Presiden. Apa kabar?
Presiden Obama: Baik-baik saja. Saya senang sekali dapat bertemu dengan
Anda.
Terima kasih. Bapak Presiden lahir pada tahun berapa?
When you feel you have mastered the role play well, consider interviewing other “celebrities”
who (for the purposes of the role play) have miraculously acquired fluency in Indonesian that
matches yours. Your celebrity could be:
• seorang perdana menteri atau seorang presiden
• seorang bintang film atau seorang bintang drama televisi
• seorang bintang musik rock yang sering menyanyi di televisi / radio
• seorang bintang olahraga
• seorang bangsawan
Perhaps a member of your class could be interviewed as a “celebrity” on a more modest scale.

The Prefixes pe- and peNA word that consists of the prefix pe- or peN- attached to a base-word can mean “a person
who does the action expressed in the base word”. For instance a person who reads (membaca) is
a reader (pembaca), a person who smokes (merokok) is a smoker (perokok), and a person who
works in the fields (bertani) is a farmer (petani). Many of these derived words describe occupations or categories of workers. Here are some more examples.
As we have seen above, pe- nouns are based on ber- verbs whereas peN- nouns are based on
meN- verbs. The latter assimilates the prefix to the base-word in the same way that the me- prefix
assimilates to a base-word, namely by a nasal which is either m, n, ng, ny, or Ø. The symbol Ø indicates that there is no nasal because the root word begins with l, m, n, r, w, ny, ng, and y.

Talking About Work Skills with Auxiliary Verbs and Adverbs
You have already met and used auxiliary verbs that can help you talk about general capabilities
and work skills. Among these are bisa and dapat. You can also “fine tune” information about skills
by using adverbial phrases.
In English, if you are discussing people’s capabilities you might use adverbs like “quickly”,
“carefully”, “conscientiously” and so on. You will notice that these three words are derived from
the adjectives “quick”, “careful” and “conscientious” with an “-ly” ending added.
You can do a roughly similar thing with certain adjectives in Indonesian. The word dengan before these adjectives turns them into adverbs, more or less as “-ly” turns an adjective into an adverb in English.
Adjective
Adverb

Adverb
cepat
quick
dengan cepat
quickly
hati-hati
careful
dengan hati-hati
carefully
rajin
conscientious
dengan rajin
conscientiously
baik

dengan baik
well
Usually adverbs with dengan appear after a verb, towards the end of a sentence. Here are
some examples of sentences using auxiliary verbs and adverbs.
Lesson 73
Saya bisa mengetik dengan cepat.
I can type quickly.
Dia bermain dengan hati-hati.
He is playing cautiously.
Bapak Hadi dapat mengajar dengan baik.
Mr Hadi can teach competently.
Bapak Wibowo tidak bisa mengurus kantor dengan baik.
Mr Wibowo can’t run an office efficiently.
To this small armoury of resources you can add the following helper words
sudah pandai
sudah biasa
sudah berani
(to have learned to do something well, to be good at)
(to be used to doing something)
(to have the confidence now to do a certain thing)
Each of these has negative transformations.
belum pandai
tidak pandai
(to have not yet mastered a certain skill)
(to be no good at doing a certain thing)
belum biasa
tidak biasa
(to still feel uncomfortable about doing a certain thing)
(to not normally do a certain thing, to not be in the habit of…)
belum berani
(to still lack the confidence to do a certain thing)
(to decline/refuse to do something because you feel you don’t have the
skills or you don’t have what it takes)
tidak berani
Study how these terms can be used in these model sentences.
Saya sudah biasa bekerja pada hari Minggu.
I’m used to working on Sundays
Mereka belum pandai memakai komputer.
They’re no good at using computers yet.
Saya belum berani mengajar pada tingkat sekolah menengah.
I don’t feel ready yet to teach at the secondary school level.

In the old days I wasn’t used to working in restaurants, but now I’m quite
used to it.

Lesson 73
Awas!!
There is a very common idiomatic exception to the dengan + adjective pattern
given above, and that relates to use of the adjective keras. Basically keras means
“hard” in the sense “not soft”. But like the word “hard” in English, keras can be used
as an adverb with the meaning “energetically” or “vigorously”. When keras is used in
this way it is not usually preceded by dengan. So there are the following idiomatic
expressions which you should learn by heart.
bekerja keras
to work hard
belajar keras
to study hard
berusaha keras
to try hard
Mau menjadi pengusaha kaya? Anda harus bekerja keras!
Do you want to be a rich businessman? You’ve got to work hard!
Dia lulus ujiannya bukan karena pandai tetapi karena dia belajar keras.
She passed her exam not because she’s smart, but because she studied hard.
Karena dia berusaha keras akhirnya dia berhasil.
Because she tried hard, eventually she was successful.
Exercise 73-01
As far back as Module 1 you practised responding to questions with an “echo answer”, that is
saying “yes” or “no” to a question by echoing a key word in it. In this exercise, translate each sentence into good English, including the echo answer. Make sure your translations of the echo answers are in appropriate and idiomatic English. Here are two examples to get you going.
Apakah Bapak sudah berani mengurus toko yang besar dan ramai? — Sudah.
Do you have the confidence to run a big and busy shop? — Yes, I do.
Apakah Ibu sudah biasa bekerja dengan orang asing? — Wah, maaf, belum.
Are you used to working with foreigners? — Oh, sorry, no I’m not.

How Many Times?
To talk about the number of times an event is repeated you use kali (times). You refer to one-off
events, i.e. single occurrences of an event, with sekali or satu kali (once).
Sri bermain kartu tiga kali seminggu. Saya hanya bermain satu kali sebulan.
Sri plays cards three times a week. I only play once a month.
Biasanya Pak Mahmud berkunjung ke Australia dua kali setahun.
Mr Mahmud usually visits Australia twice a year.
Lesson 74
Dia bersembahyang lima kali sehari.
She does does her prayers five times a day.
To ask “how many times?” or “how often?” the interrogative phrase is berapa kali.
Berapa kali setahun Pak Mahmud berkunjung ke Australia?
How many times a year does Mr Mahmud visit Australia?
Eh, Sri… kamu main kartu berapa kali seminggu?
Hey Sri, how many times a week do you play cards?
Sudah berapa kali Anda mengirim surat kepada PT Sumbawa Indah?
How many times have you sent a letter to Sumbawa Indah Ltd.?
Denny, udah berapa kali kamu ganti pacar, hah!?
Denny, how often have you switched girlfriends, eh!?
Se- in terms like sekali is a short form of satu. (Actually, to be pedantic, se- is probably derived
from the archaic word esa which meant “one”.) Se- can be used in many other contexts where it
means “per (one ____)” or “a” or “each”.
Gaji saya enam puluh ribu rupiah sehari.
My wages are sixty thousand rupiah per day
Dia bekerja lima hari seminggu.
She works five days a week.
Harganya tiga ribu rupiah sekilo.
It costs three thousand rupiah per kilo.
Mohon Perhatian!!
We have already seen that “one hundred” is seratus, never *satu ratus. Similarly
“ten” is sepuluh, never *satu puluh, and “one thousand” is seribu, never (or very
rarely) *satu ribu.
But for “one million” it is just as common to hear satu juta as it is to hear sejuta.
Similarly, when you are counting people satu orang seems to be just as common
as seorang, and when you want to say “once”, satu kali is just as common as sekali.
Untuk berapa orang?
For how many people?
Berapa juta rupiah?

Describing Work Experience
When you are interviewed for a job, as well as giving personal details and describing your educational record, you will probably be asked to talk about your previous work experience. You can
talk about the previous occupation(s) you held, where you worked, what kinds of things you did,
when and how long you worked at the place concerned, how much you were paid and why you
left.
Here is an example of what a job applicant might say when asked to talk about his/her previous employment.
S
aya pernah menjadi karyawan pabrik. Saya bekerja di pabrik alat-alat elektronik di
Tangerang. Pabrik itu milik perusahaan PT Tenaga Kilat. Di pabrik itu saya bekerja
memasang komponen HP. Pada waktu itu saya bekerja lima hari seminggu. Di samping itu
kadang-kadang saya bekerja juga pada hari Sabtu. Saya bekerja di pabrik itu selama dua tahun, mulai bulan Maret tahun 2007 sampai bulan Juli tahun 2009. Gaji saya pada waktu
itu dua juta seratus lima puluh ribu rupiah sebulan. Saya keluar dari pabrik itu karena keluarga saya pindah ke Yogyakarta.
Now do Latihan 5–6 to check your understanding of this passage. After that, write your own
work experience by doing the following exercise.
Now read the passage below filling in the gaps. It is almost the same as the passage you just
studied above, but you should fill in the blanks with different occupations, places, duties (tugas)
Lesson 74
and so on, as indicated by the words in brackets. In fact, read the passage through several times,
each time inserting different information in the blanks as you read.
Saya pernah menjadi __[pekerjaan]__. Saya bekerja di __[tempat kerja]__ di ____[kota
/ propinsi / negara]__. Di __[tempat kerja]__ itu saya __[tugas yang Anda lakukan]__.

Interview Preliminaries: A Letter and an Application Form
Before you are interviewed for a job you must make a formal application. The application process will probably require you to write a letter of application. It may look something like this.
(Check this lesson’s vocabulary cards for the meanings of unfamiliar words.)
Kepada yang terhormat:
Bpk Umar Hasan,
Kepala PT Sumbawa Indah,
Jl Jenderal Sudirman 53,
Bima, NTB
Waingapu, 31 Agustus 2010
Lesson 75
Dengan hormat,
Saya tertarik pada iklan Bapak dalam surat kabar Suara Bangsa tgl 29 Agustus 2010.
Saya ingin melamar pekerjaan sebagai sekretaris di perusahaan Bapak. Dengan surat ini
saya juga mengirim riwayat hidup saya. Apakah saya dapat bertemu dengan Bapak di kantor untuk berbicara lebih jauh tentang pekerjaan itu?
Terima kasih atas perhatian Bapak.
Hormat saya,
Sarah Hendrikus
The letter mentions a riwayat hidup. A typical short riwayat hidup could look like this.
This is a copy of an authentic
riwayat hidup form. There are
several terms in it that you need
to know to understand the document, but probably you don’t
need to remember for active
use, at least not for the moment. So they don’t appear in
the vocabulary list for this lesson. They are:
bangsa nation, nationality; berijasah
holding a qualification; bersangkutan

made; coret cross out; daftar list;
demikianlah thus; memasuki to
enter; menerangkan to state, to
declare; persiapan preparation;

Exercise 75-01
Examine the letter of application for a job above.
Write it out as if you were
writing the letter, and make
ten changes in the letter
(names, dates, places, the
kind of job). Then go to the
Daftar Riwayat Hidup and
insert ten items of information relating to yourself at
the appropriate places in
the document.
Lesson 75
Mohon Perhatian!!
There are many thousands of acronyms and abbreviations in everyday use in
modern Indonesian, and the list grows daily. Sometimes abbreviations are followed

There are several good dictionaries devoted exclusively to acronyms and abbreviations, among

Dialogue
Pak Agus is applying for a job as a driver at PT Niaga Perkasa, a small trading office.
Mrs. Nurida invited him for a job interview. Before you listen to the interview in Sound File
075-01, write down, in Indonesian, what you think Mrs. Nurida is most likely to ask him.
Pak Agus
Bu Nurida
Permisi, Bu. Boleh saya masuk?
Silakan, silakan. Bapak mau bertemu
dengan siapa?
Dengan Ibu. Saya ingin berbicara dengan Ibu tentang lamaran yang sudah
saya kirim kepada Ibu.
O ya. Memang. Saya sudah menerima
surat Bapak. Bapak mencari pekerjaan
sebagai sopir, ya?
Betul, Bu. Saya sudah bicara dengan
Ibu melalui telepon kemarin. Ibu minta
saya datang hari ini untuk bertemu dengan Ibu.
O ya. Betul. Maaf, Pak. Saya lupa Bapak akan datang pagi ini. Silakan duduk.
Lesson 75
Terima kasih, Bu. Apakah Ibu sudah
membaca riwayat hidup dan informasi
yang lain dalam surat lamaran saya?
Sudah, Pak. Tetapi saya mau bertanya
dulu tentang pendidikan Bapak. Apakah
Bapak tamat Sekolah Menengah Atas?
Tidak, Bu. Saya pernah belajar di tingkat
sekolah menengah di SMA Guna Utama
di Bandung pada tahun 1995, tetapi
saya tidak tamat.
Apakah Bapak belajar bahasa Inggris
pada waktu itu?
Ya, Bu. Saya mengambil mata pelajaran
bahasa Inggris dan ilmu ekonomi.
Apakah Bapak lulus bahasa Inggris dengan hasil yang baik?
Saya lulus bahasa Inggris, Bu, tetapi hasil saya kurang bagus. Saya dapat berbahasa Inggris, tetapi terus terang, Bu,
bahasa Inggris saya masih kurang baik.
O begitu. Lalu, sebelum Bapak melamar
pekerjaan di perusahaan ini, di mana
Bapak bekerja?
Saya menjadi sopir untuk seorang asing
selama tiga tahun. Sesudah itu saya bekerja sebagai sopir bis selama dua tahun. Tahun yang lalu saya menjadi sopir
taksi.
O begitu. Lalu, mengapa Bapak tidak
lagi mengendarai taksi sekarang?
Karena saya tidak suka bekerja pada
malam hari, Bu.
Hmmm. Apakah Bapak bersedia bekerja
pada hari Sabtu dan hari Minggu?
Bersedia, Bu. Bersedia sekali. Kalau
perlu, saya dapat bekerja tujuh hari seminggu.
Bagus. Sekarang, apakah Bapak mau
bertanya kepada saya tentang pekerjaan ini?
Ya. Terima kasih. Saya ingin bertanya,
kalau Ibu menerima saya, apa tugas
saya nanti? Apa yang harus saya lakukan?
Bapak harus mengendarai mobil kantor.
Bapak juga harus membersihkan dan
merawat mobil itu dengan baik.
O begitu. Baik. Saya kira saya dapat
melakukan tugas itu. O ya, jam berapa
saya harus masuk setiap hari?
Biasanya para sopir masuk kira-kira jam
tujuh pagi, dan pulang kira-kira jam lima
sore. O ya, Bapak minta gaji berapa?
Aduh, Bu. Terserah Ibu. Saya tidak pernah berpikir tentang gaji, asal saja saya
dapat bekerja.
Baik. Saya kira sudah cukup, Pak. Saya
akan mengirim surat kepada Bapak besok tentang pekerjaan ini.
Terima kasih, Bu. Saya minta diri dulu.
Permisi.
Now check your understanding of this dialogue by doing Latihan 4–5.
Role Play: An Interview for a Job

to help you role play a job interview. Choose an occupation, for example sekretaris, dokter, karya-
Lesson 75
wan toko, dosen, pegawai kantor, sopir bis, guru sekolah menengah, insinyur, tukang kebun, karyawan pabrik, tukang masak.
With a fellow student, or with your teacher/tutor, conduct an extended, detailed interview for a
job. Adapt the dialogue above to the occupation you choose and borrow plenty of material from
previous lessons. Flesh out your characterisation by adding your own, very personal, touches,
making sure that the language you use is scrupulously correct.
Repeat the role play several times, fleshing it out and adding more personal detail with each repetition while striving for greater correctness and smoothness. Then swap roles with your partner.
When you feel satisfied that you can play both roles well and can sustain the interview for an
extended times, choose a new occupation (and perhaps a new identity for yourself and your partner) and repeat the interview again.

The role play is in two parts. In the first part, the four short-listed applicants will be interviewed
by a committee (panitia) of at least two – maybe as many as six or eight – interviewers. The interviewers will ask questions about personal details, education and work experience like those practised in the “dry run” interviews in Lessons 74 and 75. Review these lessons carefully before starting the present role play. Each “applicant” must stay in character i.e. answer the interviewers’
questions according to the profiles given above. But the “applicants” may – in fact should – add a
lot of extra detail, provided these extra details do not conflict with the basic profiles given above.
The panel should also ask pointed questions that draw out the shortcomings (kekurangan) in the
profile of each applicant. The committee should also ask each applicant if he/she has any questions. The applicants might respond with questions like these (followed by possible answers from
the committee):
✗ Kalau saya bekerja di Puskesmas di Simpang, gaji saya berapa?
Tergantung pada ijazah dan pengalaman kerja Bapak/Ibu. Mungkin kira-kira….
✗ Apakah ada rumah untuk saya di desa Simpang?
Ada. Tetapi rumah itu kecil… hanya satu kamar tidur…
✗ Apakah saya harus bersedia bekerja tujuh hari seminggu?
Tentu saja. Kalau ada orang desa yang sakit, mungkin Bapak/Ibu harus bekerja pada hari
Sabtu dan hari Minggu, juga pada malam hari.
✗ Apakah ada klab malam / mal / bioskop / universitas / pasar swalayan /
perpustakaan di Simpang?
Universitas? Wah, tidak ada, tetapi ada universitas di Banda Aceh, kira-kira 150 kilometer
dari Simpang.
The second part of the role play starts after the four short-listed applicants have been interviewed. The committee of interviewers convenes to discuss among themselves the merits of the
four candidates and choose one to fill the position. As you can see from their profiles, each candidate is well qualified in some respects and very poorly qualified in other respects. None of them
is perfect for the job, but an appointment must be made. So any of the four might be appointed,
depending on how the committee’s discussion develops.
The committee should discuss: 1. the personal background of each applicant (e.g. age, place
of origin, marital status, gender, hobbies etc.) asking how appropriate/helpful that background is
to the job in Simpang; 2. the educational qualifications of each applicant – how advanced and relevant are they? 3. their previous work experience, how relevant or useful is it? 4. the shortcomings of each applicant – how likely is it that these shortcomings will make it difficult for the applicant to do the job successfully.
As they exchange views, many of the committee members’ sentences will begin like this:
Bagaimana pendapat Anda? Apakah…
Siapa yang paling berpengalaman / baik / ahli…
Menurut pendapat saya…
Saya kira…
Maaf, saya kurang setuju. Saya kira…
Wah… saya sama sekali tidak setuju!
Tetapi bagaimana dengan…
Lesson 76
In making comparisons, the committee will use the toolbox of words practised earlier in this
lesson: lebih, terlalu, kalah, kurang, cukup, sama and paling. Go back and review these words and
the model sentences that accompany them, as well as the questions and answers in Exercise 7601.
When you have acted the role play several times – each time striving for more detail, more variation, greater correctness, more smoothness and more liveliness – reshuffle roles among the
members of your study group and try the role play again.
Want To Stretch Yourself?
Imagine that you have been contracted to advise personnel managers in business companies
on how to conduct job interviews, or perhaps to advise job applicants how to do well in job interviews using the Indonesian language. Get a video camera (and if you like, editing equipment) and
make two short, impactful videos in Indonesian.
One video will show how a good job interview should go. The other will show how not to do
well in a job interview. The first video should be formal and businesslike. The second should be a
farce: let loose your sense of humour.
Initially, you can base the videos on the role play that you have practised in this lesson. Make
sure you don’t lapse into English, and make sure that you keep your Indonesian straightforward,
correct and roughly within the parameters of vocabulary and grammar that you have studied so
far.
If you succeed in making these “training” videos based on the models and the role play in this
lesson, challenge yourself a little more and make similar training videos showing contrasting interviews for other occupations.
