XIII. Cultural Notes
1). When talking to someone, or when referring to them, we should use the
appropriate title in front of their name, and not just the name, so Pak
Hasyim or Bu Dewi. This means that a title will be found even where Mr or
Mrs is not usual in English. A Western male is likely to be addressed with the
title Om (from Dutch oom uncle), so Om John (using his first name, not his
family name). If he is addressed as Pak John, this means that he is becoming
integrated into the Indonesian social world.
Similarly, there are quasi-kinship titles for younger people as well, namely
Mas elder brother or alternatively Kang, Mbak elder sister, and Dik
younger brother or sister. These can be followed by the persons name. In
general, terms of address are much more frequent in Indonesian than in
English, and to use just someones name, without a title, would suggest a
high degree of intimacy, a big age-gap or superior-inferior relationship.
Too say Ladies and Gentlemen, as when beginning a speech, we say
Bapak-bapak dan Ibu-ibu note the doubling for the plural, and the order,
men first! In a formal letter, we could use as pronouns Bapak or Ibu, both
with a capital letter, to mean you.
___________________
1. perusahaan=company
2. tetapi=but
3. lalu=then

2a).Generally an Indonesian does not have a family name corresponding to

our surname. He usually has a personal name, and if further identification is
necessary, his name indicates he is the son of so and so. However, there are
exceptions to this pattern.
For example:
i). among the Bataks (a groups living on the island of Sumatra) families have
clan names, passed on from generation to generation, e.g. Amir Hamzah
Nasution (Nasution is the clan name).
ii). A Javanese may have several personal names one or two given at birth.
b).Married women sometimes take their husbands name (e.g. Nyonya
Burhan), but not in all cases.
XIV. Grammatical Notes
1.

In Indonesian, bukan and tidak are used to negate. The word

bukan is used to negate nouns while tidak is used to negate verbs,
adjectives, and adverbs.
Saya bukan orang Indonesia.
Indonesian.)
Dia bukan guru.
teacher.)
Anda tidak lapar.
hungry.)
Kami tidak mau pergi.
to go.)

(I am not

(He/she is not a

(You are not

(We dont want

Note that nggak [eng-ga?] is very often used instead of tidak

and bukan in daily conversation.
2. The word belum is also used to form a negative sentence, but it is
usually used as a negative response to questions containing sudah.
It also conveys ideas of actions that are yet to be done, or that
could possibly happen.
X: Dia sudah pulang? (Has he/she gone home?)
Y: Belum. (No, he/she hasnt.)
A: Anda sudah pergi ke Amerika?
(Have you been to the States?)
B: Belum. (No, I havent.)
3. The word sudah, which in English means already, is commonly use
with adjectives for emphasis.
Saya sudah lapar. (I am hungry now.)

Dia sudah capai. (He/she is tired now.)

4. To indicate an activity that will take place in the future, the word
akan can be used. However, in colloquial style it is sometimes
omitted.
Anda (akan) pergi ke kantor?
(Will you go to the office?)
It is not uncommon to use mau to indicate a future activity.
Saya mau pergi jam dua.
(I want to/will be going at two.)
5. In Indonesian, verb-forms do not change to show differences in
time.
Biasanya dia pulang jam empat.
(He usually goes home at four.)
Dia sudah pulang.
(He has gone home.)
6. The word biasanya and kadang-kadang can be placed at the
beginning, in the middle, or at the end of a sentence.
Biasanya saya bangun jam enam.
(Usually I wake up at six.)
Saya biasanya bangun jam enam.
Saya bangun jam enam biasanya.
7. The word jam and berapa are used together in combination to ask
about the time.
Jam berapa sekarang?
(Whats the time now?)
Anda mau makan jam berapa?
(What time do you want to eat?)
Not that phrase can also go in the final position.
Do not confuse this phrase with berapa jam?
Berapa jam Anda naik mobil dari Jakarta ke Bandung?
(How many hours does it take you to go by car from Jakarta to
Bandung?)
8. The word kamu is used when addressing a relative, a close friend,
or a child.
Tati, kamu suka minum kopi?

(Tati, do you like to drink coffee?)

Tono, kamu mau makan sekarang?
(Tono, do you want to eat now?)
