Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns in Indonesian can be used as a subject or an object in a sentence. They also don't have gender distinctions, but they do have plural forms. Below are the six personal pronouns in Indonesian:
Indonesian | Pronunciation | English Translation |
---|---|---|
saya | ['saja] | I, me |
kamu | ['kamu] | you (singular, informal) |
dia | ['dia] | he, she, him, her |
kami | ['kami] | we (inclusive) |
kalian | [ka'lian] | you (plural, informal) |
mereka | ['mɛrɛka] | they, them |
Here are some examples of personal pronouns in use:
- Saya belajar bahasa Indonesia. (I am learning Indonesian.)
- Kamu suka makan ayam goreng. (You like fried chicken.)
- Dia tinggal di Jakarta. (He/she lives in Jakarta.)
- Kami berbicara dengan teman kami. (We are talking with our friends.)
- Kalian belajar bersama di ruang kelas. (You are studying together in the classroom.)
- Mereka pergi ke pantai. (They are going to the beach.)
Greetings
Before we proceed, let's learn some basic greetings and introductions in Indonesian:
- Selamat pagi! - Good morning!
- Selamat siang! - Good afternoon!
- Selamat sore! - Good evening!
- Selamat malam! - Good night!
It's important to know that Indonesians often include the word 'maaf' (sorry) in their greetings as a sign of politeness. So when saying good morning, it's typical to say 'Selamat pagi, maaf.'
Conclusion
In this lesson, you've learned about the personal pronouns and greetings in Indonesian. Practice using them in your daily life by greeting your Indonesian friends or practicing simple conversations. See you in the next lesson!
