Next, it is a conversation about "Mengambil Bagasi" or in English “Taking the Bagage”. The conversation is between Tony (A) a British man,  and (B) an airport officer at Adi Sucipto Airport, Yogyakarta. Let’s follow the conversation :

Tony :

Permisi

In English

Excuse me!

       

Officer :

Ya

 

Sure.

       

Tony :

Dimana tempat  bagasinya?

 

Where is  the baggage claim?

       

Officer :

Pesawat apa, pak?

 

What is the flight, sir?

       

Tony :

Pesawat Garuda dari Jakarta

 

Garuda from Jakarta

       

Officer :

Oh, disana. Di lantai 2, ban berjalan no 3

 

Over there. It’s on the second floor, the baggage conveyor belt, number 3.

       

Tony :

Terima kasih

 

Thank you!

       

Officer :

Sama-sama

 

You’re welcome.

After the conversation, now I’ll introduce some vocabularies and idioms related to the topic today.

Permisi

In English

Excuse me!

Ban berjalan

 

Conveyor belt

Bagasi

 

Baggage

Di mana

 

Where?

Nomor tiga

 

Number 3

Pesawat

 

Plane

Apa?

 

What?

Dari jakarta

 

From Jakarta

Di sana

 

Over there

Di sini

 

Here

Di lantai dua

 

On the second floor

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.
