 …………..............................................................................

In the monologue there is the expression “Di dalam kamar ada meja, lemari, televisi, dan AC” (2x) which means “Inside the room, there are table, wardrobe, television, and air conditioner”. There is the adverb “di dalam” (2x) which means “inside”, which shows a particular location or place, namely a space that contains something. The expression “di dalam” (2x) which means “inside” in the monologue shows a hotel room that contains a table, wardrobe, television, and air conditioner.

Other example.

Let’s listen to another use of “ “di dalam” (2x) which means “inside” in another sentence.

Di dalam kapal ada restoran (2x) which means “Inside the ship, there is a restaurant.”

Chris menyimpan kameranya di dalam tas khusus (2x) which means “Chris puts his camera inside a special bag”

…………..............................................................................  

In Indonesian, there are some variations of places to stay. Besides hotel (2x) which means hotel, there are also wisma (2x) which means guesthouse, losmen (2x) which means inn, penginapan (2x) which means lodge, pondok (2x) which means cottage, and resor (2x) which means resort.

The difference falls on the facility and shape. Wisma (2x) which means guesthouse usually has less facility than hotel (2x) which means hotel. While pondok (2x) which means cottage and resor (2x) which means resort have different shape or form from hotel. Pondok (2x) which means cottage and resor (2x) which means resort usually has some separated buildings or rooms, instead of one single big building like a hotel.
