VOI - Voice of Indonesia | RRI - Radio Republik Indonesia

This is 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 Apa Hobimu? in English ‘What is your hobby?’.

Read to this conversation about Apa Hobimu? Which means ‘What is your hobby?’ Kevin and Siti are chatting in a campus yard. Siti asks what activity Kevin likes.

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

Hobby is a preferred activity and done in a spare time. When you want to ask someone about their preferred activities you can ask them by saying Apa hobimu? In English ‘What is your hobby?’. To respond the question, you can say your hobby such as:

- menari              which means                dancing

- membaca buku                                    reading a book

- berjalan-jalan                                       travelling

- berbelanja                                              shopping

- memasak                                              cooking

For example: in a conversation.

-      Apa hobimu?              which means      What is your hobby

-      Aku suka membaca                               I like reading

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.
