Adjectives and Adverbs in Indonesian[խմբագրել | խմբագրել կոդը]

Welcome to our Indonesian language course! In this lesson, we will learn how to use adjectives and adverbs in Indonesian. Adjectives and adverbs are important parts of speech that help us describe people, things, and actions.

Adjectives[խմբագրել | խմբագրել կոդը]

Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. In Indonesian, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe. For example:

Indonesian	Pronunciation	Armenian
rumah besar	/ˈrumaɦ ˈbəsar/	մեծ տուն
mobil merah	/moˈbil ˈmɛrah/	կարմիր մեքենա
bunga indah	/ˈbuŋɡa ˈinda/	գեղեցիկ ծաղիկ

As shown in the table above, the adjective usually follows the noun and there is no specific word for "is" in Indonesian.

Another important point to note is that in Indonesian, adjectives do not change according to gender or number. For example:

Indonesian	Pronunciation	Armenian
pria tampan	/ˈpria ˈtampən/	գեղեցիկ մարդ
wanita cantik	/waˈnita ˈtʃantik/	գեղեցիկ կանանց
buku bagus	/ˈbuku ˈbaɡus/	լարավազ գիրք

In the table above, you can see that the adjectives "tampan" (handsome), "cantik" (pretty), and "bagus" (good) do not change, regardless of whether they are describing a man or a woman, or if there is one or more of the thing they are describing.

Finally, let's look at some common adjectives in Indonesian:

besar (big)
kecil (small)
tinggi (tall)
pendek (short)
panjang (long)
pendek (short)
bagus (good)
buruk (bad)
cantik (pretty)
tampan (handsome)

Adverbs[խմբագրել | խմբագրել կոդը]

Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In Indonesian, adverbs usually come after the word they describe. For example:

Indonesian	Pronunciation	Armenian
dia berbicara cepat	/ˈdia bərbiˈtʃara ˈtʃəpat/	նույնը շատ շուտով խոսում է
saya makan pelan-pelan	/saˈja ˈmaʔan pəˈlan-pəˈlan/	ես բացասականում ուտում եմ
dia bekerja keras	/ˈdia bərˈkərja ˈkəras/	նույնը աշխատում է շատախոսությամբ

As shown in the table above, the adverb usually follows the word it describes.

Here are some common adverbs in Indonesian:

tidak (not)
sangat (very)
cukup (enough)
mungkin (maybe)
juga (also)
sekarang (now)
nanti (later)
kemarin (yesterday)
besok (tomorrow)

It is important to note that "tidak" (not) is often used to negate the verb. For example:

Saya tidak makan (I do not eat)
