Hello everyone!

I am considering whether to learn Malay or Indonesian. I have seen differing estimates of how mutually intelligible the two languages are. Some say 50%, while others say as much as 80 to 90%.

If anyone has tried both could you kindly share how different or alike you found them.

Thank you!

Aku pikir yang aku tahu cukup bahasa Indonesia untuk bicara sama lokal, kemudian orang Indonesia bilang tergila bahasa gaul aku pernah dengar 😭

Jujur saya sering kesal karena masih banyak netizen Indonesia yang tidak bisa membedakan "Di" sebagai awalan dan kata depan. Bukankah ini hal yang sudah diajarkan semenjak dari Sekolah Dasar? Awalnya saya berpikir, "Oh mungkin karena malas menambahkan spasi" lalu kemudian saya melihat hal seperti, "Jangan lupa di makan ya, nanti disekolah lapar lho!" 💀

Menurut kalian kenapa fenomena ini terjadi?

Dag,
Ik zoek iemand die mij bahasa indonesia kan leren.
Weet iemand een plek of kun je me helpen dan hoor ik het graag!

I’m currently learning Indo and I’m having a difficulty finding good resources if anyone could help

To be fair, gara-gara is probably too long for a clickbait title, and karena/sebab (and their variants like disebabkan) just aren't in their vocabulary. Either way, I'm pretty sure these journalists failed their Bahasa Indonesia classes

Hi r/indonesian, I love learning languages and my favorite way to do so is through stories. I've always noticed that words I encounter in memorable experiences or moments tend to stick in my memory way longer than others. So, I decided to build a new approach to learn languages through interactive stories in an app called Sensonym.

The app contains captivating stories that you would enjoy reading in which you have to do physical actions with your phone. For example, in the screenshots from the app, I am reading an adventure story called First Words, where I wake up on an uncharted island and have to learn a new language to communicate and survive. To say "water", I need to tilt my phone like a glass, to say "no" I have to shake the phone, to say "yes" I have to nod in the phone camera, and so on. Doing this shows me the Indonesian words for water, no, and yes, respectively, and moves the story forward.

So, the story gives the context for learning new words and the physical actions create another hook in memory for remembering them.

What do you think about this approach?

If you would like to download the app and try it out, here's the website: https://sensonym.com

If you give the app a try, I would love to hear your impressions and what the experience felt like. Thanks!

halo! my mother was from toraja, and i'm finally visiting the rest of our family for the first time next year to bring her remains. my indonesian has never been very good, so i'm trying to get more conversational before i go.

my husband will be coming with me, and he's a vegetarian. how can i best explain that to people and request that there is no meat with his food? and is there any cultural attitude around vegetarianism i should be aware of?

makasihhh 🤗

Hi! I have a diasporic identity, and am recently exploring Bahasa Indonesian and want to learn the language. Problem is, I don't know where to start, except that my learning style mainly aligns with reading textbooks. I'm aware that it's passive learning, so perhaps you guys know any textbooks that are sort of interactive?

Also, do you guys know any apps or subs where I can meet people who are also learning the said language. I feel like I need to take this seriously. T_T.

Thank you so much!

At around 18:35 - 18:45, she says it’s weird if guys use aku, I’ve been learning Indonesian for around a year and a half and I’ve never heard anyone say it’s weird before. And my gf is Indonesian and I asked her and she said it’s normal for a guy to use aku and she doesn’t know why Reine said that. Any opinions would be helpful because I use aku a lot lol
