VOI - Voice of Indonesia | RRI - Radio Republik Indonesia

Voice of Indonesia presents “Let’s Speak Bahasa Indonesia,” a lesson in the Indonesian language on the Radio. We introduce some Indonesian vocabulary and tips on how to use it in a conversation. This segment is a joint initiative of Voice of Indonesia and the Language and Book Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture.  Today’s topic is Apakah kamu suka tariannya?  in English ‘Do you like the dance?’.

Read to this conversation about Apakah kamu suka tariannya?  in English ‘Do you like the dance?’. Siti asks Kevin whether he likes the dance that he just learned.

Now, I am going to introduce some vocabularies and expressions related to the topic today.

To ask whether someone likes something or not, you can use some expressions or sentences, such as:

-Apakah kamu suka?                   Which means     Do you like it?

-Anda suka?                                                              

-Bagaimana, suka tidak?                                                  

To respond the expressions you can say:

-Iya, aku suka  (yes, I like it) or  tidak, aku tidak suka (No, I don't like it)

For examples:

-Apa kamu suka menari?  (Do you like dancing?)

-Iya, aku suka sekali           (Yes, I like dancing very much.)   

That was “Let’s Speak Bhs Indonesia”, a lesson in Bahasa Indonesia or the Indonesian language on the radio. Hopefully, this edition will be useful for those who want to know more about Bahasa Indonesia.
