In this lesson, we will learn the names of the days, months, and seasons in Indonesian. Knowing these vocabulary words will help you talk about daily life and understand Indonesian calendars and weather forecasts. Let's get started!

Days of the Week[edit | edit source]

The days of the week in Indonesian are:

Indonesian	Pronunciation	English
Senin	seh-neen	Monday
Selasa	seh-lah-sah	Tuesday
Rabu	rah-boo	Wednesday
Kamis	kah-meess	Thursday
Jumat	joo-maht	Friday
Sabtu	sah-boo	Saturday
Minggu	meen-goo	Sunday

Indonesian days of the week are derived from Arabic and Javanese influences. It's interesting to note that Sunday, "Minggu," is named after the sun in both Indonesian and Javanese.

Months of the Year[edit | edit source]

The months of the year in Indonesian are:

Indonesian	Pronunciation	English
Januari	jah-noo-ah-ree	January
Februari	feh-broo-ah-ree	February
Maret	mah-ret	March
April	ah-preel	April
Mei	may	May
Juni	joo-nee	June
Juli	joo-lee	July
Agustus	ah-goos-toos	August
September	sehp-tehm-behr	September
Oktober	ohk-toh-behr	October
November	noh-vehm-behr	November
Desember	deh-sehm-behr	December

The months of the year in Indonesian are based on the Gregorian calendar. They are similar to the English names, but with slight variations in pronunciation. For example, January is "Januari" and February is "Februari."

Seasons[edit | edit source]

In Indonesia, there are two main seasons:

1. Musim Hujan (Rainy Season) 2. Musim Kemarau (Dry Season)

The rainy season, "Musim Hujan," typically occurs from November to March, while the dry season, "Musim Kemarau," usually lasts from April to October. It's important to note that Indonesia's climate varies across its vast archipelago, so these seasons might not apply uniformly to all regions.

During the rainy season, you can expect frequent rainfall and cooler temperatures. It's a good idea to carry an umbrella or raincoat when you go outside. On the other hand, the dry season is characterized by hot and humid weather. It's important to stay hydrated and protect yourself from the sun.

Practice[edit | edit source]

Now, let's practice what we've learned! Test your knowledge by translating the following words and phrases into Indonesian.

1. Tuesday 2. June 3. Dry season 4. Monday 5. November

Here are the answers:

1. Selasa 2. Juni 3. Musim Kemarau 4. Senin 5. November
