| Indonesian Survival Phrases Lesson 22. Riding the Bus part 2. |
| Once on the bus, you'll hear announcements informing the passengers of where the bus will stop next. Now, in the case that there is no English announcement, you may not catch the location just announced. So the phrase "What is the next stop?" may be indispensable. |
| In Indonesian "What is the next stop?" is Halte depan yang mana? Let’s break it down by syllable. Hal-te de-pan yang ma-na? Now let’s hear it once again. Halte depan yang mana? |
| The first word halte means a vehicle stop. Let’s break down this word and hear it one more time. (slow) halte. halte. This is followed by depan, which in English is "next." (slow) depan. depan. So to recap here, we have halte depan. Literally this means "the next stop." Let's take a look at the last word yang mana which means "which one?" (slow) yang mana. yang mana. |
| So altogether we have Halte depan yang mana? Literally this means "Which is the next stop?" |
| Another way of inquiring could be asking if your desired destination is the next stop. For this phrase we'll use Universitas Gajah Mada or "Gajah Mada University" in Yogyakarta, as the destination. So the phrase "Is Universitas Gajah Mada the next stop?" is Apa Universitas Gajah Mada yang halte depan? Let’s break it down by syllable. A-pa U-ni-ver-si-tas Ga-jah Ma-da yang hal-te de-pan? Now let’s hear it once again. Apa Universitas Gajah Mada yang halte depan? |
| The first word apa means "what." Let’s break down this word and hear it one more time. (slow) apa. apa. This is followed by our destination Universitas Gajah Mada, or "Gajah Mada University." After that, we have yang, which is a relative pronoun, much like "the one that" in English. (slow) yang. yang. So to recap here, we have Apa Universitas Gajah Mada yang…” |
| Literally this means "Is Universitas Gajah Mada the one that…" Let's take a look at the next word halte which means "vehicle stop," which we've already mentioned. halte. Let's take a look at the last word depan which means “next”, as we've also mentioned. depan. So altogether we have Apa Universitas Gajah Mada yang halte depan? Literally this means "Is Gajah Mada University the next stop?" |
| When you get off a bus in Indonesia, driver usually stop, more of a pause actually at a bus stop very briefly to let passengers on and off. You’ll need to be by an exit at least by the stop before your intended one because of these all too brief stop. For that reason, wear shoes that would be comfortable, just in case you need to actually jump out. That’s right! Jump out the exit. |
| Okay, to close out today’s lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for saying the Indonesian phrase out loud or in Indonesian, dengan keras. You’ll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so selamat sukses, that means "good luck!" in Indonesian. |
| All right so here we go! |
| “What is the next stop?” (Halte depan yang mana? Hal-te de-pan yang ma-na? Halte depan yang mana?) |
| “Is Gajah Mada University the next stop?” (Apa Universitas Gajah Mada yang halte depan? A-pa U-ni-ver-si-tas Ga-jah Ma-da yang hal-te de-pan? Apa Universitas Gajah Mada yang halte depan?) |
| Alright, that's going to do it for today! |
