The Focus of This Boot Camp Lesson is Indonesian Phrases That Come in Handy When
Learning Indonesian

It's best to start with...

1. Maaf.
"Excuse me."

You can use the next phrase when you don't know what something is called in Indonesian. In
the blank, you can put an English word, or point to something and use ini ("this") like speaker
A did in the dialogue.

If someone uses an Indonesian word that you are not familiar with, and you would like to ask
for the English translation, you can use the same structure to ask what it is called in English.

For Example:

1. Bagaimana bilang _____ di bahasa Indonesia?

"How do you say (word) in Indonesian?"

2. Bagaimana bilang ini di bahasa Inggris?

"How do you say it in English?"

Tolong means "please" (literally, "help"). You can use this word when you are asking for
something or asking someone to do something for you. Diulangi means "to be repeated," from
the verbal root ulang, which means "to repeat."

For Example:

1. Tolong diulangi.
"Please repeat it."

You can pair the following two phrases with tolong diulangi to ask for someone to repeat
something.

For Example:
