To ask about location or place, you can use the word “di mana”? In today’s conversation, Tony ask about the baggage claim.
Tony : Di mana tempat mengambil bagasi? (2X) In English: where is the baggage claim?
To answer the question you can say the location which is started with the preposition “di”
For example : Di sana, di ban berjalan nomor 3
Another example :
Tony : Di mana Anjungan Tunai Mandiri (ATM)? In English: Where is the Automated Teller Mechine (ATM)?
Officer : Di sana In English Over there
Di lantai dua On the second floor
When showing location or something, Indonesian people usually use the right hand, both with their index finger, thumb or all five fingers. Showing something by using left hand is considered impolite.
That was Let’s Speak Bhs Indonesia, a lesson in bahasa Indonesia or the Indonesian language on the radio. Hopefully, this edition can be useful for those who want to know more about Bahasa Indonesia. We also hold monthly quiz with many interesting prizes.
