| Cultural Insight |
| Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
| Fira: One problem you might have in Indonesian is when you ask a question that has various possible answers. For example, "Which is your favorite one?" In this case, you have to use Mana, which is in fact the literal translation of "which" or "which one." So, Kamu suka yang mana? means "Which one do you prefer?" |
