== Introduction ==
In this lesson, we will explore the use of direct speech in Indonesian. Direct speech, or "kalimat langsung" in Indonesian, is an important aspect of the language as it allows us to convey the exact words spoken by someone. Understanding how to use direct speech correctly will greatly enhance your ability to communicate effectively in Indonesian. This lesson will focus specifically on direct speech in the past tense. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently construct sentences using direct speech in Indonesian.
== Direct Speech in Indonesian ==
Direct speech refers to the exact words spoken by someone. In Indonesian, direct speech is indicated by using quotation marks ("") around the spoken words. The verb in the direct speech is always in the past tense. Let's look at some examples:
=== Example 1 ===
Indonesian: "Aku sudah makan di restoran."
Pronunciation: "Ah-koo soo-dah mah-kahn dee reh-stoh-rahn."
English Translation: "I have eaten at the restaurant."
In this example, the speaker is directly quoting themselves, using the word "aku" (I) to indicate that they are the one speaking. The verb "makan" (eat) is in the past tense, "sudah" (have) is used to indicate completion, and "di" is the preposition indicating the location.
=== Example 2 ===
Indonesian: "Dia bilang, 'Saya tidak bisa datang ke pesta malam ini.'"
Pronunciation: "Dee-ah bee-lahng, 'Sah-yah tee-dahk bee-sah dah-tahng keh peh-stah mah-lahm ee-nee.'"
English Translation: "He said, 'I cannot come to the party tonight.'"
In this example, the speaker is quoting someone else, using the word "dia" (he/she) to indicate the speaker. The verb "bilang" (said) is in the past tense, and the direct speech is enclosed in quotation marks.
=== Example 3 ===


<div class="pg_page_title">Indonesian Grammar → Indirect and Direct Speech → Direct Speech</div>
Indonesian: "Mereka bertanya, 'Kamu sudah membaca buku itu?'"


__TOC__
Pronunciation: "Meh-reh-kah ber-tahn-yah, 'Kah-moo soo-dah mem-bah-chah boo-koo ee-too?'"
 
English Translation: "They asked, 'Have you read that book?'"
 
In this example, the speaker is quoting a group of people, using the word "mereka" (they) to indicate the speaker. The verb "bertanya" (asked) is in the past tense, and the direct speech is enclosed in quotation marks.
 
== Cultural Insights ==
 
In Indonesian culture, direct speech is commonly used in everyday conversations. Indonesians tend to be expressive and passionate in their speech, and using direct speech allows them to convey their emotions more effectively. It is also important to note that Indonesians often use honorifics when addressing someone, especially those who are older or in a higher position. For example, instead of saying "Kamu sudah makan?" (Have you eaten?), Indonesians may use "Anda sudah makan?" to show respect.
 
Furthermore, different regions in Indonesia may have variations in the usage or understanding of direct speech. For example, in Javanese culture, it is common to use indirect speech as a way of being polite and avoiding direct confrontation. This cultural variation adds richness and diversity to the Indonesian language.
 
== Exercises ==


Direct speech, or kalimat langsung, is a way of reporting speech in its original form. This means that the words spoken are placed in between quotation marks, and typically, we use the past tense.
Now let's practice constructing sentences using direct speech in Indonesian. Translate the following sentences into Indonesian using the correct direct speech format:


In this lesson, we'll look at the structure of direct speech in Indonesian and practice examples.
1. She said, "I love Indonesian food."


== Kalimat Langsung |
2. They asked, "Have you ever been to Bali?"
Kalimat langsung is direct speech in Indonesian. This is when we directly quote an individual's spoken words. For example, "Dia berkata, 'Saya lapar'" (He said, "I'm hungry"). The words in quotation marks are the direct speech. The speaker used kalimat langsung to report what the other person said.


When using kalimat langsung, the verb tense in the direct statement usually changes to past tense. If the original statement was made in the present tense, it will become past tense when reported in direct speech.
3. He shouted, "I won the competition!"


Here's an example of how it works:
4. I told her, "Don't forget to bring your umbrella."


* Original statement: "Saya sedang makan nasi." (I am eating rice.)
5. We asked, "Where is the nearest hospital?"
* Direct speech: Dia berkata, "Saya sedang makan nasi." (He said, "I am eating rice.")


Notice that the verb in the reported speech changes from sedang to sedang makan, which is past tense.
== Solutions ==


It's important to use the correct punctuation when writing direct speech. In Indonesian, the direct quote should begin with an opening quotation mark (") and end with a closing quotation mark (").
Here are the solutions to the exercises:


== Direct Speech Practice ==
1. Indonesian: "Dia berkata, 'Aku suka makanan Indonesia.'"
Now let's practice writing direct speech. Use the following prompts to create sentences using direct speech:
  English Translation: She said, "I love Indonesian food."


* You're at a restaurant and your friend says, "Saya lapar." (I'm hungry.)
2. Indonesian: "Mereka bertanya, 'Pernahkah kamu pergi ke Bali?'"
* Your teacher tells the class, "Anda harus belajar dengan keras." (You must study hard.)
  English Translation: They asked, "Have you ever been to Bali?"
* Your friend says, "Saya suka film horor." (I like horror movies.)


Write your answers using kalimat langsung. Don't forget to use quotation marks and the correct past tense.
3. Indonesian: "Dia berteriak, 'Aku menang dalam kompetisi!'"
  English Translation: He shouted, "I won the competition!"


== Vocabulary ==
4. Indonesian: "Aku bilang padanya, 'Jangan lupa bawa payungmu.'"
* Quotation mark - tanda petik
  English Translation: I told her, "Don't forget to bring your umbrella."
* Past tense - pasti

Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will explore the use of direct speech in Indonesian. Direct speech, or "kalimat langsung" in Indonesian, is an important aspect of the language as it allows us to convey the exact words spoken by someone. Understanding how to use direct speech correctly will greatly enhance your ability to communicate effectively in Indonesian. This lesson will focus specifically on direct speech in the past tense.

Direct Speech in Indonesian[edit | edit source]

Direct speech refers to the exact words spoken by someone. In Indonesian, direct speech is indicated by using quotation marks ("") around the spoken words. The verb in the direct speech is always in the past tense. Let's look at some examples:

Example 1[edit | edit source]

Indonesian: "Aku sudah makan di restoran."

Pronunciation: "Ah-koo soo-dah mah-kahn dee reh-stoh-rahn."

English Translation: "I have eaten at the restaurant."

In this example, the speaker is directly quoting themselves, using the word "aku" (I) to indicate that they are the one speaking. The verb "makan" (eat) is in the past tense, "sudah" (have) is used to indicate completion, and "di" is the preposition indicating the location.

Example 2[edit | edit source]

Indonesian: "Dia bilang, 'Saya tidak bisa datang ke pesta malam ini.'"

Pronunciation: "Dee-ah bee-lahng, 'Sah-yah tee-dahk bee-sah dah-tahng keh peh-stah mah-lahm ee-nee.'"

In this example, the speaker is quoting someone else, using the word "dia" (he/she) to indicate the speaker. The verb "bilang" (said) is in the past tense, and the direct speech is enclosed in quotation marks.
