Chapter 3 : How to ask

Ok, for making the question you need to know the question words that I gave you.

Now, how to make it!!

The structure is almost same as the English.

Question words + sentence (subject + verb)

Nah, it's easy, isn't it?

I'll show you the example.

Looking at this picture.

I can make sentences like this.

1.Who is sitting in front?

1.Siapa duduk di depan?

ans a prof is sitting in front.

Words 5 : Question

Then, after I told you how to make sentences now I'll give you the Question words.

So,you'll be able to ask anything.

1. Who,what = Siapa / Siapakah ? (it's going to be 'what' when you ask the name "Siapa nama awak?" means "What's your name?")
2. Where = Di mana / Di manakah?
3. When= Bila / Bilakah?
4. What = Apa / Apakah?
5. How = Berapa / Berapakah? 
6. How many = Berapa jumlah ?
7. How much = Berapa harga?
8. How far = Berapa jauh? 
9. How long = Berapa panjang? (for time)
10. How tall = Berapa tinggi?
11. Which one = Yang mana ?
12. Why = Mengapa , Kanapa?

Ps. You can add 'kah' after the question words ,it's going to be formal.

Chapter 2 : How to do the basic sentence

After I gave you so so so much words ,now I'll tell you haw to make sentence.

It's not too difficult (if you remember all words i gave you lol)

OK, first the most basic structure is 

subject + verb + object 

seem like English right?

for example : Saya makan nasi (I eat rice)

so Saya mean I which is subject

Makan means eat which is verb

Nasi means rice which is object

see is it difficult ? no right?

Now, What about objective ?

the objective,it's must come after noun.

for example : baju baru , kasut cantik

Baju means shirt and Kasut means shoes ,these are noun.

Baru means new and Cantik means beautiful ,which are objective


So, now you can make some sentences :)
let's try sometime 

Adjective : Kata abjektif

Now, I'll tell you the words of adjective .

I'll start with the Feeling and Tasting mean Rasa.

For the others.

1. sick / well = sakit / sihat,baik
2. tall / short = tinggi / pendek,rendah
3. loud / soft = kuat , nyaring / perlahan(sound),lembut(touching)
4. left / right = kiri / kanan
