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 Bagaimana memainkannya?  in English ‘How to play it?’.

Read to this conversation about Bagaimana memainkannya? In English ‘How to play it?’. Kevin asks Siti, how to play the gamelan music.

Kevin   : Bagaimana cara memainkannya?

Siti       : Cara memainkannya, yaitu dengan dipukul–pukul dengan alat pemukul.

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

To ask about how to use an object, you can use expressions.

For examples:

Bagaimana cara memainkan dram in English ‘how to play the drum?’.

To respond to the question/expression, you can answer in accordance with the way to use the tools.

For examples:

Kevin         : Cara memainkan dram yaitu dengan dipukul-pukul dengan alat pemukul  in English ‘The way to play the drum is by beating with drum sticks

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.
