Today we are excited to share some tips on how to learn Bahasa Indonesia for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ll be learning the basic sentence patterns in Indonesian and basic expressions that are often spoken alongside the adverbs of time for present, past and future sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indonesian for beginners has two elements that you should notice to create basic sentences. First, the basic sentence pattern or basic formula in formulating active sentences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishqu.com\/zone\/how-to-say-religious-greetings-in-indonesia\/\">How to Say Religious Greetings in Indonesia<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, adverbs of time to explain the present, past, continuous and future tenses. Alright, let&#8217;s learn Indonesian with EnglishQu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn Bahasa Indonesia for Beginners: Basic Sentence Patterns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sentence structure pattern in Bahasa Indonesia is exactly the same as in English, which is Subject + Verb + Object\/Complement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Indonesian, we call it <em>Subyek + Predikat + Objek.<\/em> <em>Subyek<\/em> is subject, <em>Predikat<\/em> is verb, and Objek\/obyek is object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have a look at the following comparison of sentence patterns between basic English and Bahasa Indonesia sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>English:<\/strong> I <em>(subject)<\/em> play <em>(Verb)<\/em> piano<em> (object)<\/em> every Saturday <em>(adverb of time)<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bahasa Indonesia: <\/strong>Saya <em>(Subyek) <\/em>bermain <em>(Predikat) <\/em>piano <em>(Obyek) <\/em>setiap hari Sabtu (<em>Keterangan waktu)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Indonesian doesn&#8217;t recognize Past Tense and Past Participle verbs. Whether to show past tense or past perfect tense, we use one verb form, present.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The use of Third Singular pronouns is different from English. For he, she, or it, we simply pronounce <em><strong>Dia<\/strong><\/em> in bahasa Indonesia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Subjects\/Pronouns<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I = <em>Saya<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You (singular) = <em>Kamu<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>He, She, It =<em>Dia<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We = <em>Kami, Kita<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You (plural) = <em>Kalian<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They = <em>Mereka<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adverb of Times in Bahasa Indonesia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn bahasa Indonesia for beginner, you need to know that for Present Tense, Past Tense\/Past Participle, and Future Tense sentences, Indonesians use one single verb form (present).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, it is important to be familiar with the following Adverb of Time to distinguish the sentences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Today = <em>Hari Ini<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now = <em>Sekarang<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On (Monday&#8230;) = <em>Hari (Minggu&#8230;<\/em>and so on<em>)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yesterday = <em>Kemarin<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two days ago = <em>Dua hari lalu<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last week = <em>Minggu lalu<\/em> (Week means Minggu in Indonesian)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last month = Bulan lalu (<em>Month<\/em> means Bulan in Indonesian)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Last Year = Tahun lalu (Year is <em>Tahun<\/em> in Bahasa Indonesia)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tomorrow = <em>Besok<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two days later = <em>Besok Lusa<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next week = <em>Minggu depan<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next month = <em>Bulan Depan<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next Year = <em>Tahun Depan<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn Indonesian for Beginners: Sentence Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indonesian people only use one type of verb in making sentences. This verb does not change for all types of Tenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn Indonesian for beginners, please note that the one verb form needs to be followed by an adverb of time to clarify the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.englishqu.com\/zone\/explaining-level-of-education-in-indonesia\/\">Level of Education in Indonesia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at the examples of Present Tense, Past Tense and Future Tense sentences in Bahasa Indonesia in the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Present Tense<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Past Tense<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Future Tense<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Saya bermain piano setiap hari<\/em><br>(I play piano everyday)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Saya bermain piano kemarin<\/em><br>(I played piano yesterday)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Saya akan bermain piano besok<\/em><br>(I will play piano tomorrow)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Saya berkunjung ke Bali setiap tahun<\/em><br>(I visit Bali every year)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Saya berkunjung ke Bali tahun lalu<\/em><br>(I visited Bali last year)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Saya akan berkunjung ke Bali tahun depan<\/em><br>(I will visit Bali next year)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Lisa selalu bertemu teman-temannya pada hari Sabtu<\/em><br>(Lisa always meet her friends on Saturday)<br><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Lisa bertemu teman-temannya pada Sabtu<\/em> <em>lalu<\/em><br>(Lisa met her friends on last Saturday)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><em>Lisa akan bertemu teman-temannya lusa<\/em><br>(Lisa will meet her friends in two days )<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The examples of Present Tense, Past Tense and Future Tense sentences in Bahasa Indonesia<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use adverb of time to clarify the situation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For Future Tense sentences in Indonesian, use word <em><strong>akan<\/strong> <\/em>(will\/be going to) followed by the verb and adverbs of times.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ve read the information on how to learn Bahasa Indonesia for beginners.
