ays of The Week
Names of the days of the week in Indonesian are written in capital, similar to English. Below is a complete list of names of the days of the week in Indonesian:
- Senin - Monday
- Selasa - Tuesday
- Rabu - Wednesday
- Kamis - Thursday
- Jumat - Friday
- Sabtu - Saturday
- Minggu - Sunday
Common Mistakes
Following the Indonesian reading rule, Indonesian learners often pronounce Jumat as "Ju-mat". However, this pronunciation is incorrect. The word Jumat is pronounced as "Jum-at". Consequently, native Indonesians often misspell Jumat as Jum'at to accentuate the pronunciation. Nevertheless, the correct spelling of Friday in Indonesian as written in KBBI (Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia) is Jumat.
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, and The Day After Tomorrow
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow are common time information used with names of the days of the week. Considering Indonesian does not have various tenses, time information is very crucial.
Vocabularies
- kemarin - yesterday
- hari - day
- hari ini - today (this day)
- besok - tomorrow
- lusa - the day after tomorrow
Referring to Next and Last Week
Not much different from English, when referring to days next or last week, you only need to add "next" or "last" following the day. Below is the general rule:
- Next [ ... ] [ ... ] depan
- Last [ ... ] [ ... ] lalu [ ... ] yang lalu
Vocabularies
- depan - next
- lalu - last
- yang lalu - last
Examples
- Saya akan pergi ke pantai Sabtu depan. I will go to the beach next Saturday.
- Dapatkah kamu menemui saya Jumat depan? Can you meet me next Friday?
- Kamis lalu Rina ada ujian piano. Last Thursday Rina had a piano examination.
- Apa yang dibeli Budi Selasa yang lalu? What did Budi buy last Tuesday?
Time Period
To express a time period, from Monday to Friday for instance, the word dari (from) and sampai (to) are used.
Examples
- Acara ini ditayangkan dari Senin sampai Jumat di televisi. This show is aired from Monday to Friday on televison.
Practice Phrases
- Hari ini hari apa? What day is it today?
- Hari ini hari Rabu. Today is Wednesday.
- Kemarin hari apa? What day was yesterday?
- Kemarin hari Selasa. Yesterday was Tuesday.
