| Introduction |
| Eric: Welcome to 3-Minute Indonesian Season 1, Lesson 2 - Greetings. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to greet someone when you arrive and say farewell when you part in Indonesian. |

| Fira: [Normal] Halo [Slow] Halo |
| Eric: Listen again to the informal word meaning “Hi.” |
| Fira: [Slow] Halo. [Normal] Halo. |

| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Fira: In formal situations, Indonesian people commonly greet each other by shaking hands and bowing their heads slightly. On the other hand, if we’re meeting someone we are very friendly with, we can just wave! |

I have done this three times and it still keeps sending me back to the begining. I am so frustrated with this site
Hello Andrew,
Thank you for your question! It is not trivial at all. After 3 pm is considered "sore" although the sun is still up. Usually after 3 pm, the weather starts to get cooler although the day is still bright. That is when we consider the time as "sore".
I hope this helps,
Sarah

This may seem like a trivial question, but...
You have written elsewhere that Selamat siang is used between about 11am and 3pm, when the sun is highest in the sky. Do Indonesians 'watch' the sun or their watches? In other words, when we are observing Daylight Saving during summer in my country (Australia), should I use 'siang' between about 12 noon and 4pm?
Terima kasih
