| Indonesian Survival Phrases Lesson 41. One Ticket Please. |
| There is so much to do and see in Indonesia, and there are times when access to some must-see places require an admission ticket. So today we're going to work on getting you through the gate, as we'll take a look at buying tickets. In Indonesian, ticket is karcis. |
| In Indonesian "One ticket please." is Minta satu karcis, ya? Let’s break it down by syllable. Min-ta sa-tu kar-cis ya? Now let’s hear it once again Minta satu karcis ya? The first word minta means "to request" or "'ask for." Let’s break down this word and hear it one more time. min-ta. minta. This is followed by satu, which in Indonesian means "one." satu-. sa-tu. satu. So to recap here, we have minta satu. Literally this means "ask for one." Let's take a look at the next word karcis which means "ticket" as we’ve mentioned above. karcis. Finally, we have ya which means "yes" or "'alright." ya.ya. |
| So altogether we have Minta satu karcis, ya? Literally this means "[I] ask for one ticket, alright?" |
| And if you want to buy more than one ticket, just replace the number satu with any higher number. Let's review the numbers one through five to refresh your memory: 1 – satu, 2- dua, 3 – tiga, 4 – empat or pat, and 5 – lima. That's it. |
| Sometimes in Indonesia you don’t go to the place to get tickets, but the tickets go to you. This is the case in a more tourist areas of Indonesia, such as Bali and Central Java. There are people that usually sells tickets to local performances, but several of them like at Yogyakarta sells ticket that include bus fare and admission to performances held in particular sites like the Ramayana dance drama at the Candi Prambanan in Central Java. These tickets sellers are not scalping as the prices they sell these tickets for are usually the listed prices anyway. |
| 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! |
| “One ticket please.” (Minta satu karcis, ya? Min-ta sa-tu kar-cis ya? Minta satu karcis ya?) |
| Alright, that's going to do it for today! |
