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 “Ada keluhan lain?” which means “Any other problem?”. This dialog is between Kevin and a doctor at a clinic. The doctor asks Kevin if he has another medical problem. 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 a question, “Ada keluhan lain?” (2X) which means "Any other problem?". In the dialog, the doctor wants to know what Kevin feels besides fever and nausea. To ask another thing besides the aforementioned thing by the speaker, you may use some expressions such as ada and lain (2X) which means anything else? which are placed after an object. There is also a phrase ada lagi? which means anything else? For example, Ada keluhan lain? (2X) which means Any other problem?  

Let's read to the other questions to ask another thing besides things that have been mentioned by the speaker.

Jadi, Bapak demam dan mual ya? (2X) which means So you have fever and nausea?  
Ada keluhan lain? (2X) which means Any other problem?  
Tenggorokan saya juga sakit (2X) which means My throat hurts too

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.
