Voice of Indonesia presents Let’s Speak Indonesian, a program that introduces the Indonesian vocabulary and guides you to speak in the language. Mari Berbahasa Indonesia or Let’s Speak Indonesian is a joint initiative of Voice of Indonesia and the Language Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture.  Today’s topic is still about Sakit which means Sick. 

Here is the conversation entitled Saya Sudah Mendaftar Via Teleponwhich means I Have Registered by Phone. This dialog is between Kevin and a clinic security officer. Let’s read to the conversation.

Having listened to the conversation, now I am going to introduce some vocabulary and expressions related to the topic of the day.

In the dialog, you listen to an expression Saya sudah mendaftar via telepon (2x) which means I have registered by phone. The expression is used to state a finished activity. There is the word sudah (2x) which means have. To state a finished activity, you can use the word sudah (2x) which means have before verb. For example: Saya sudah mendaftar via telepon (2x) which means I have registered by phone.

Let’s listen to the other examples:

Officer        : Apakah Bapak sudah mengambil obat? (2x) which means Have you got the medicine?

Kevin         : Ya. Saya sudah mengambil obat tadi (2x) which means Yes, I have

Mela : Apakah kamu sudah meminum obat? (2x) which means Have you taken the medicine?

Kevin : Ya. Aku sudah meminum obat (2x) which means Yes, I have

That was “Let’s Speak Indonesian” for today. Hopefully, this edition can be useful for those of you who want to know more about Indonesian language.
