I am not well (Tidak Enak Badan)

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 Development Agency of the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture.  Today’s topic is ‘Tidak Enak Badan’ which means ‘I am not well’.

Raed to this conversation about ‘Tidak Enak Badan’ which means ‘I am not well’. Kevin asks Rama to take him to the clinic because he feels unwell.

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

In the dialogue, Kevin feels unwell. Tidak enak badan is an expression for the condition or state when someone feels uncomfortable or sick. Kevin asks Rama to take him to the clinic, to see a doctor. Kevin says the word tolong as an expression of the beginning of the sentence Tolong antar aku ke klinik, Rama or Tolong temani aku ke klinik which means ‘Please take me to the clinic’.  Rama responds by saying Baik, aku akan mengantar kamu ke klinik terdekat, Kevin which means ‘Ok, I'll take you to the nearest clinic’.

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.
