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 “Jangan Makan Makanan Pedas!”which means “Do not Eat Spicy Food!”This dialog is between Kevin and a doctorThe doctor prohibits Kevin to eat spicy food.

 

Dokter

Untuk sementara , Bapak jangan makan makanan pedas, ya!

Kevin

Having read 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 Jangan makan makanan pedas!” (2X) which means “Do not eat spicy food!” The word jangan (2X) which means do not is used to express prohibition.

Other examples.

To state prohibition, we can also use the phrase tidak boleh (2X) which means cannot. Let’s listen to another example to express prohibition.

Untuk sementara, Bapak tidak boleh makan makanan asam, ya! (2X) which means for a while, you cannot eat sour food, ok!

Untuk sementara, Bapak tidak boleh minum es, ya!(2X) which means for a while, you cannot drink cold water, ok!

 

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.
