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 about Kesehatan which means Health.

Here is the conversation entitled “Aku Siap Divaksin” which means “I’m Ready to Ge Vaccinated”. This dialog is between Kevin and Mela. Kevin tells her if he is ready to get Covid-19 vaccination.

Now I am going to introduce some vocabulary and expressions related to the topic of the day.

In the dialog, you hear Kevin say Aku siap divaksin (2X) which means I am ready to be vaccinated. In the expression, there is the word siap (2X) which means ready. In the dialog, the word siap (2X) means sudah bersedia (2X) which means already willing. For example, Aku siap divaksin (2X) which means I am ready to be vaccinated. It explains thatKevin is willing to get Covid-19 vaccine.

Other examples:

Let’s read to the other examples of using the word siap (2X) that shows willingness.  

Apakah kamu siap melaksanakan tugas? (2X) which means Are you ready to do the job?

You can answer Ya, aku siap (2X) which means Yes, I’m ready

Apakah kamu siap menjadi ketua tim? (2X) which means Are you ready to be the team leader?

Ya, aku siap (2X) which means Yes, I’m ready

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.
