Lesson conversation |

| Pak Bayu: Saya sangat senang. |
| Rina: Anak laki-laki saya adalah seorang murid Anda. Dia senang juga. |

| Rina: Congratulations. How do you feel? |
| Pak Bayu: Saya sangat senang. |
| Pak Bayu: I'm so happy. |
| Rina: Anak laki-laki saya adalah seorang murid Anda. Dia senang juga. |

| Rina: Mereka hanya cemburu. |
| Rina: They're just jealous. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: It sounds like our teacher, Mr. Bayu, just won an award. What kind of award would that be? |
| Fira: Well, every November 25, Indonesia celebrates National Teacher's Day, called Hari Guru Nasional. It’s not a public holiday, but schools or public halls usually give awards to teachers for their service. |
| Becky: That’s a really nice way to express gratitude toward your teachers. |
| Fira: It sure is. Also, once a year, teachers are selected for the Teachers and Education Personnel Achievement and Dedication awards. You have to have taught at a school for eight years or have been a principal for two years to qualify for the award. |
| Becky: So, you have to be a really dedicated teacher? |
| Fira: That’s right. Hundreds of participants from various regions in Indonesia are eligible. The awards ceremony is conducted by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Jakarta. |
| Becky: Sounds like an impressive award. Okay, now on to the vocabulary. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Becky: Let's have a closer look at some of the words and phrases from this lesson. The first phrase is... |
| Fira: ...sangat senang. |
| Becky: Meaning, "very happy." |
| Fira: Sangat is an adverb meaning "very; so; really; or extremely." Senang is the adjective meaning "happy." Altogether the phrase means "so happy." |
| Becky: When can we use this phrase? |
| Fira: You can use it when describing feelings of overwhelming happiness, especially on formal occasions. |
| Becky: Then, when can we not use this expression? |
| Fira: Well, in informal situations, we say senang banget instead of sangat senang. Banget has the same meaning as sangat, “very,” but it’s used in informal situations. Banget is one of the most common words in colloquial Indonesian. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example with your key phrase? |
| Fira: Sure! Anak-anak itu sangat senang saat mengunjungi kebun binatang. |
| Becky: Meaning, "Those kids were very happy when visiting the zoo." Okay, next we have... |
| Fira: ...agak marah. |
| Fira: Agak is an adverb meaning "a bit; a little; or rather." Marah is an adjective meaning "angry." Combined, these words mean "a bit angry." |
| Becky: Can you give us an example? |
| Fira: Sure! Dia agak marah atas keputusan saya. |
| Becky: "He's a bit angry over my decision." |
| Fira: Another alternative is to say sedikit in place of agak. Both of these words mean “a little,” and they’re interchangeable. |
| Becky: Okay, next we have... |
| Fira: ...hanya cemburu. |
| Becky: Meaning "just jealous." |
| Fira: You can add hanya, meaning “just” in front of any adjective expressing a feeling. Here’s an example: Kenapa dia diam-diam saja? Dia hanya bosan. Jangan khawatir. |
| Becky: This means, "Why is she so quiet?" "She’s just bored. Don't worry about it." |
| Fira: And here’s another example with our key phrase. Dia hanya cemburu akan perlakuanmu terhadap saya. |
| Becky: Meaning, "He was just jealous of your treatment towards me." Okay, now on to the lesson focus. |
Lesson focus |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about how to describe feelings in Indonesian. There are a lot of different words that we can use. |
| Fira: Yes, in the dialogue, Pak Bayu said, saya sangat senang. |
| Becky: Meaning, “I'm so happy.” Fira, can you explain how to express a feeling? |
| Fira: Of course! In Indonesian, there's no word meaning "to be." So, sentences in English that rely on a “to be” verb, such as “I am Rina,” have no equivalent verb in Indonesian. |
| Becky: Then, how would we say, “I am Rina,” in Indonesian? |
| Fira: Saya Rina. Literally, “I Rina.” The “am” is implied. |
| Becky: Then how do we express our feelings or mood? For example, how do I say, “I’m sleepy?” |
| Fira: When you want to express what you’re feeling, you can simply say the pronoun and then say an adjective. So, “I’m sleepy,” is saya mengantuk, or literally, “I sleepy.” |
| Becky: Got it. Can you give us some more examples? |
| Fira: Sure! Saya senang. Dia senang. |
| Becky: “I’m happy.” “He or she is happy.” |
| Fira: And here’s another one: dia sedang sedih. |
| Becky: Meaning, “He or she is sad at the moment.” |
| Fira: That’s right. And remember, the literal translation is, “He or she sad at the moment.” There’s no “to be” verb. |
| Becky: Listeners, be sure to check out the lesson notes for more examples. |
| Fira: And now, let's learn some more vocabulary to express your feelings or mood. |
| Becky: You can follow along with the chart in your lesson notes. We’re going to run through these words so that you can hear their pronunciation. Fira will give you the Indonesian word, and I’ll give you the English translation. |
| Fira: Okay, let’s get started. Cape. |
| Becky: “Tired.” |
| Fira: Senang. |
| Becky: “Happy.” |
| Fira: Sedih. |
| Becky: “Sad.” |
| Fira: Lapar. |
| Becky: “Hungry.” |
| Fira: Marah. |
| Becky: “Angry.” |
| Fira: Baik. |
| Becky: “Fine.” |
| Fira: Mengantuk. |
| Becky: “Sleepy.” |
| Fira: Depresi. |
| Becky: “Depressed.” |
| Fira: Haus. |
| Becky: “Thirsty.” |
| Fira: Bosan. |
| Becky: “Bored.” |
| Fira: Kecewa. |

| Fira: Riang. |
| Becky: “Cheerful.” |
| Fira: Semangat. |
| Becky: “Energetic.” Whew! There were a lot of new words. |
| Fira: Well, we’re not done yet. You can also put words like agak, |
| Becky “a bit,” |
| Fira or sangat meaning “very”, before these adjectives to show how strongly you feel something. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example? |
| Fira: Sure. So, the basic sentence is, mereka marah. |
| Becky: “They’re angry.” |
| Fira: Then you can say, mereka agak marah, or mereka sangat marah. |
| Becky: Meaning “They’re a bit angry,” or “They’re very angry.” Now, we can express a whole range of emotions. |
| Fira: That’s right! Be sure to check out the lesson notes for more examples. |
