=== 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.

* '''Clarity:''' It clearly indicates who said what, avoiding confusion.
 
* '''Engagement:''' Direct speech can make narratives more engaging.
 
=== Structure of Direct Speech in Indonesian ===
 
In Indonesian, the structure of direct speech typically follows this pattern:
 
1. The speaker is introduced (optional).
 
2. A colon (:) is used to indicate speech.
 
3. The spoken words are enclosed in quotation marks (“ ”).
 
== Example Structure
 
* '''Speaker:''' Rina
 
* '''Direct Speech:''' "Saya suka membaca buku."
 
This translates to: Rina said, "I like reading books."

In Indonesian, punctuation plays an essential role in direct speech. Here are the key points to remember:

* '''Capitalization:''' The first letter of the spoken sentence is capitalized.
 
* '''Punctuation:''' Any punctuation within the speech remains inside the quotation marks.
 
=== Examples of Direct Speech in Indonesian ===
 
Let's look at some examples to illustrate direct speech more clearly:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Indonesian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| Rina berkata, "Saya suka membaca buku." || Rina berˈkata, "ˈsaja ˈsuka memˈbaca ˈbuku." || Rina said, "I like reading books."
 
|-
 
| Ali menjawab, "Saya akan pergi ke pasar." || Ali menˈjawab, "ˈsaya ˈakan perˈgi ke ˈpasar." || Ali replied, "I will go to the market."
 
|-
 
| Ibu berkata, "Makanlah sayur!" || Ibu berˈkata, "ˈma-kan-lah ˈsajur!" || Mother said, "Eat your vegetables!"
 
|-
 
| Dito bertanya, "Kapan kita berangkat?" || Dito berˈtanya, "ˈka-pan kita berˈangkat?" || Dito asked, "When are we leaving?"
 
|-
 
| Siti menjelaskan, "Ini adalah buku saya." || Siti menˈjelaskan, "ˈini aˈdalah ˈbuku ˈsaya." || Siti explained, "This is my book."


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 ==
| Budi berteriak, "Ayo bermain!" || Budi berˈteriak, "ˈayo berˈmain!" || Budi shouted, "Let's play!"


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 ===
| Ayah berkata, "Jangan lupa untuk belajar." || Ayah berˈkata, "ˈjang-an ˈlupa unˈtuk beˈlajar." || Father said, "Don't forget to study."


Indonesian: "Aku sudah makan di restoran."
|-


Pronunciation: "Ah-koo soo-dah mah-kahn dee reh-stoh-rahn."
| Lani berkata, "Saya sangat senang hari ini!" || Lani berˈkata, "ˈsaya ˈsangat seˈnang haˈri ini!" || Lani said, "I am very happy today!"


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.
| Nia berbisik, "Dia tidak tahu." || Nia berˈbisik, "ˈdia tiˈdak ˈtau." || Nia whispered, "He/She doesn't know."


=== Example 2 ===
|-


Indonesian: "Dia bilang, 'Saya tidak bisa datang ke pesta malam ini.'"
| Rudi berkata, "Kita harus membantu teman-teman kita." || Rudi berˈkata, "ˈkita ˈharus memˈbantu teˈman-teˈman kita." || Rudi said, "We must help our friends."


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.'"
=== Practice Exercises ===


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.
Now that you have a solid understanding of direct speech in Indonesian, let’s put your knowledge to the test! Below are some exercises that will help you practice forming and understanding direct speech.


=== Example 3 ===
=== Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks ===


Indonesian: "Mereka bertanya, 'Kamu sudah membaca buku itu?'"
Complete the sentences with appropriate direct speech.


Pronunciation: "Meh-reh-kah ber-tahn-yah, 'Kah-moo soo-dah mem-bah-chah boo-koo ee-too?'"
1. Rina berkata, "____."


English Translation: "They asked, 'Have you read that book?'"
2. Dito bilang, "____."


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.
3. Ibu perintahkan, "____."


== Cultural Insights ==
'''Answers:'''


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.
1. Rina berkata, "Saya pergi ke pasar."


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.
2. Dito bilang, "Kita akan bermain sepak bola."

3. Ibu perintahkan, "Tolong bersihkan kamar!"
