| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Becky: Let's have a closer look at the usage of some of the words and phrases from this lesson. First is.. |
| Fira: tidak pernah |
| Becky: meaning "never" |
| Fira: The first part of the word is tidak, meaning "not" And then we have pernah meaning "ever." It literally means "not to do something ever" and can be used to mean "never." |
| Becky: Can you give us an example? |
| Fira: Sure. Saya tidak pernah makan daging kambing. |
| Becky: meaning "I have never eaten goat meat." |
| Fira: I used the word tidak parnah meaning “never” between the pronoun Saya meaning “I” and makan meaning “to eat.” |
| Becky: You can use this word like you use "never" in English. |
| Fira: But when you use it, make sure to have the two words tidak and pernah together. |
| Becky: Okay. And next we have.. |
| Fira: jatuh pada |
| Becky: meaning "to fall on" |
| Fira: Jatuh is a verb that means "to fall" and pada is a preposition meaning "in", "on", "at", or "to". So it literally means "to fall into" or "to fall in." |
| Becky: When you want to indicate time by saying "something falls under a date" you can use this phrase. It can be used to talk about day, date, month, year and century. However, you can’t use it when you’re indicating the time on a clock, such as minutes and hours. Fira, can you show us how to use this word with an example? |
| Fira: Sure. If you want to talk about when Christmas falls, you put the word tanggal meaning "date" between jatuh pada and 25 Desember. When you give the date, make sure to put the word tanggal before you read the date. Using it, you say.. Hari raya Natal jatuh pada tanggal 25 Desember. |
| Becky: Which means.. “Christmas falls on December 25. Okay, now onto the grammar. |
Lesson focus |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn how to use common phrases to discuss dates and the timing of an event in Indonesian. First, let’s take a look at essential words for talking about dates and times. |
| Fira: Okay. As you know, you can use jatuh pada meaning “to fall on” to say the date or day of an event. And you can also use the word setelah... |
| Becky: ...meaning “after” |
| Fira: bulan apa |
| Becky: meaning “what month” |
| Fira: tanggal berapa |
| Becky: meaning “what date” |
| Fira: kapan |
| Becky: meaning “when” |
| Fira: And last, hari apa |
| Becky: meaning “what day”. Answering a question about setting the time is very simple. You can simply say the date, or the days of the week. That's why it’s helpful to know the days of the week and the months of the year in Indonesian. |
| Fira: In the lesson notes, you can see the days of the week and months of the year in Indonesian. Make sure to check them. |
| Becky: Now, let’s talk about how to ask a question about setting a time. |
| Fira: In general, you need to use the word Kapan when you’re asking a question about time. It means "when" in Indonesian. |
| Becky: The answer could be the day, date, month, year, time on the clock or moment. Can you give us an example? |
| Fira : Sure. Kapan kamu akan datang ke sini? |
| Becky: "When will you come here?" |
| Fira: When you ask a question about setting the time, you can also use the word berapa which means "how much." Berapa can be placed after a noun to ask "which” or “what" if the answer is a number. |
| Becky: You can use this word when you’re asking about year, date, hour and time. Can you give us some examples please? |
| Fira: Sure! You can say.. Tahun berapa. Tahun is the word meaning “year” and berapa is the word meaning “which” or “what.” |
| Becky: So it literally means “what year.” |
| Fira: That’s right. Using this word, you can say.. Tahun berapa kamu dilahirkan? |
| Becky: meaning "What year were you born?" |
| Fira: Also, you can make a sentence like Jam berapa kamu akan datang ke sini? |
| Becky: "What time will you come here?" Okay, next, let’s talk about how to ask a question about setting a time using the word meaning “what”.... |
| Fira: ...which is apa in Indonesian. When you’re asking about day or month, you can use the word apa. |
| Becky: For example..? |
| Fira: bulan + apa |
| Becky: It literally means “which month.” Using this word, you can ask a question like... |
| Fira: Bulan apa kamu akan datang ke sini? |
| Becky: "Which month will you come here?" |
Outro |
| Becky: And that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
