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, Culture, Research and Technology.  Today’s topic is about Nonton Film di Bioskop which means Watching Movie in the Cinema. 

Here is the conversation entitled Film Apa yang Sedang Tayang di Bioskop? which means What Movies are Showing in the Cinema? This conversation happens between Kevin and Nuni. Because it’s raining, Kevin and Nuni decide to go to the cinema. Let’s read to the conversation.

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

In the conversation, you hear the expression Film apa yang sedang tayang di bioskop? (2x) which means What movies are showing in the cinema? In the expression, the word sedang (2x), which means to be doing, is used to state something that is happening.

Let’s read to the other examples of using the word sedang.

Kevin : Kamu sedang apa? (2x) which means What are you doing?

Nuni  : Saya sedang menonton film. (2x) which means I’m watching a movie

Kevin : Sedang menonton film apa? (2x) which means What movie are you watching?

Nuni   : Film Gundala. (2x) which means Gundala

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.
