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.
=== What is Direct Speech? ===
 
Direct speech, or '''''kalimat langsung''''' in Indonesian, refers to the reporting of what someone has said using their exact words. It is often enclosed in quotation marks. This form of speech is widely used in both spoken and written Indonesian to convey dialogue or quotes.  
 
'''Importance of Direct Speech:'''


In this lesson, we'll look at the structure of direct speech in Indonesian and practice examples.
* '''Authenticity:''' It provides authenticity to conversations or quotes.


* '''Clarity:''' It clearly indicates who said what, avoiding confusion.

* '''Engagement:''' Direct speech can make narratives more engaging.
== Kalimat Langsung |
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.
=== Structure of Direct Speech in Indonesian ===


Here's an example of how it works:
In Indonesian, the structure of direct speech typically follows this pattern:


* Original statement: "Saya sedang makan nasi." (I am eating rice.)
1. The speaker is introduced (optional).
* 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.  
2. A colon (:) is used to indicate speech.


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 (").  
3. The spoken words are enclosed in quotation marks (“ ”).


== Direct Speech Practice ==
== Example Structure
Now let's practice writing direct speech. Use the following prompts to create sentences using direct speech:


* You're at a restaurant and your friend says, "Saya lapar." (I'm hungry.)
* '''Speaker:''' Rina
* Your teacher tells the class, "Anda harus belajar dengan keras." (You must study hard.)
* 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.
* '''Direct Speech:''' "Saya suka membaca buku."


== Vocabulary ==
This translates to: Rina said, "I like reading books."
* Quotation mark - tanda petik
* Past tense - pasti

In Indonesian, punctuation plays an essential role in direct speech. Here are the key points to remember:
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_language Indonesian language - Wikipedia]
 
* '''Quotation Marks:''' Use “ ” to surround the spoken words.
 
* '''Colon:''' Place a colon before the direct speech if the speaker is mentioned.
 
* '''Capitalization:''' The first letter of the spoken sentence is capitalized.
 
* '''Punctuation:''' Any punctuation within the speech remains inside the quotation marks.
