Jolianne: Mr. Rebo, Mrs. Resiwulan, you beautiful Pupus Ayu, and you, too, John. Thank you, thank you very much for your hospitality during my stay here. You are very awesome. You, Mr. Rebo, you are cool..! I love your cooking.

Jolianne: Bapak Rebo, Ibu Resiwulan, kamu Pupus Ayu yang cantik, dan kamu, juga, John. Terima kasih, terima kasih banyak untuk keramahtamahan Anda selama saya tinggal di sini. Kalian sangat mengagumkan. Anda, Bapak Rebo, Anda keren..! Saya suka masakan Anda.

Rebo: I will cook for you tomorrow for breakfast before you leave. This is the last menu I have, Jolianne.

Rebo: Saya akan memasak untuk Anda besok untuk sarapan sebelum Anda pergi. Ini adalah menu terakhir yang saya miliki, Jolianne.

Jolianne: That's awesome, Mr. Rebo. What food menu would you make tomorrow?

Jolianne: Itu mengagumkan, Bapak Rebo. Menu makanan apa yang akan Anda buat besok?

Rebo: This is a Balinese food. The name is Plecing Kangkung. You will find it when you arrived on Bali island.

Rebo: Ini makanan khas Bali. Namanya adalah Plecing Kangkung. Anda akan menemukannya ketika Anda tiba di pulau Bali.

Jolianne: Fantastic…! That's sound good, Plecing Kangkung. I will try it tomorrow. By the way, can you tell me…? or could you tell me…? How the peoples of Bali about? I meant the culture or character of the people of Bali.

Jolianne: Fantastis…! Kedengarannya bagus, Plecing Kangkung. Saya akan mencobanya besok. Ngomong-ngomong, bisakah kau memberitahuku...? atau bisakah kau memberitahuku...? Bagaimana dengan masyarakat Bali? Maksud saya budaya atau karakter masyarakat Bali.

Rebo: Emmm… I thought, my wife, Resiwulan know better than me. When we stayed in Bali, I only focused to learn to cook. My wife socialized oftener with Balinese. Resiwulan, could you tell her? Or can you tell her?

Rebo: Emmm... saya pikir, istri saya, Resiwulan, tahu lebih baik daripada saya. Ketika kami tinggal di Bali, saya hanya fokus belajar memasak. Istri saya lebih sering bergaul dengan orang Bali. Resiwulan, bisakah kau memberitahunya? Atau bisakah kamu memberitahunya?

Resiwulan: Sure, I know better than my husband. I know how a Balinese is. I like Balinese, because they put their culture first, rather than their own personal interests. If you pay attention, you will see them as selfish people, but they are not. They strongly adhere to the culture and customary rules there. So, when you enter within their circle, you will feel their kinship to everyone. They are very open-minded and easygoing.

Resiwulan: Tentu, saya tahu lebih baik dari suami saya. Saya tahu bagaimana orang Bali. Saya suka orang Bali, karena mereka mengutamakan budaya mereka, daripada kepentingan pribadi mereka sendiri. Jika Anda memperhatikan, Anda akan melihat mereka sebagai orang yang egois, tetapi mereka tidak. Mereka sangat mematuhi budaya dan aturan adat di sana. Jadi, ketika Anda masuk dalam lingkaran mereka, Anda akan merasakan kekerabatan mereka dengan semua orang. Mereka sangat berpikiran terbuka dan santai.

John: Rebo, back to what will you cook tomorrow, Plecing Kangkung, I'd like to know... Is it the primary food of Bali people, or food for ceremonies only, like here in Java is yellow rice for salvation ceremonies?

John: Rebo, kembali ke apa yang akan kamu masak besok, Plecing Kangkung, aku ingin tahu... Apakah itu makanan utama orang Bali, atau makanan untuk upacara saja, seperti di sini di Jawa adalah nasi kuning untuk upacara selamatan?

Rebo: Do you know? Balinese food, if you notice, all is used for ceremonies. They present what they eat for the gods, including Plecing Kangkung. But Babi Guling is the best food there; that's my opinion.

Rebo: Apakah Anda tahu? Makanan Bali, jika Anda perhatikan, semua digunakan untuk upacara. Mereka menyajikan apa yang mereka makan untuk para dewa, termasuk Plecing Kangkung. Tapi Babi Guling adalah makanan terbaik di sana; itu menurut pendapat saya.

Jolianne: Woow... everything sounds really good. Do you have any idea...? Where I could find those foods? Babi Guling and Plecing Kangkung? Could anyone tell me...?

Jolianne: Woow... semuanya terdengar sangat bagus. Apakah kamu punya ide...? Di mana saya bisa menemukan makanan itu? Babi Guling dan Plecing Kangkung? Adakah yang bisa memberitahuku...?

Pupus Ayu: I know, I know. Near where you stay later, 15 minutes by using a motorcycle, you would arrive at Uluwatu. There, you would find special menus of Balinese cuisine, including Babi Guling and Plecing Kangkung. Uluwatu is one of the best places worth visited.

Pupus Ayu: Saya tahu, saya tahu. Di dekat tempat Anda menginap nanti, 15 menit dengan menggunakan sepeda motor, Anda akan tiba di Uluwatu. Di sana, Anda akan menemukan menu spesial masakan Bali, termasuk Babi Guling dan Plecing Kangkung. Uluwatu adalah salah satu tempat terbaik yang layak dikunjungi.

Jolianne: I don't suppose you know...? Or I don't suppose you would know...? Or Would you happen to know…? Pupus Ayu. But now, I thought, you know well about Bali.

Jolianne: Saya kira Anda tidak tahu...? Atau saya kira Anda tidak akan tahu...? Atau apakah Anda kebetulan tahu...? Pupus Ayu. Tetapi sekarang, saya pikir, Anda tahu betul tentang Bali.

Pupus Ayu: I thought you would never ask.

Pupus Ayu: Saya pikir Anda tidak akan pernah bertanya.

Jolianne: Cool..! The quote in the movie.

Jolianne: Keren..! Kutipan di film

Pupus Ayu: Yes...! I love these words. "I thought you would never ask."

Pupus Ayu: Iya...! Saya suka kata-kata ini. "Saya pikir anda tidak akan pernah bertanya."

John: I was wondering. Whether Bali Leak really exist?

John: Saya bertanya-tanya. Apakah Leak Bali benar-benar ada?

Resiwulan: Yes, John. When I talked to one of the ancient Balinese. She said Bali Leak would raise the head when needed. Resiwulan whispered, "So now it's like sleeping."

Resiwulan: Ya, John. Ketika saya berbicara dengan salah satu orang Bali kuno. Dia mengatakan Leak Bali akan mengangkat kepalanya saat dibutuhkan. Resiwulan berbisik, "Jadi sekarang ini seperti tidur."

In this session, when Resiwulan and John were talking, Jolianne was calling the receptionist of Bukit Cottage for asking for information about motorcycle rental.

Jolianne: I’m calling to find out. Can I rent a motorbike there later?

Jolianne: Saya menelepon untuk mencari tahu. Bisakah saya menyewa sepeda motor di sana nanti?

Bukit Cottage: Yes, Miss Jolianne. We also provide some cars if you need them. You can drive yourself or use our driver.

Bukit Cottage: Ya, Nona Jolianne. Kami juga menyediakan beberapa mobil jika Anda membutuhkannya. Anda dapat menyetir sendiri atau menggunakan sopir kami.

Jolianne: Perfect...! Thank you, Bukit Cottage. I will come tomorrow at noon. Around 13.30pm. And I need only one motorbike. Could you provide for me, please?

Jolianne: Sempurna...! Terima kasih, Bukit Cottage. Saya akan datang besok siang. Sekitar pukul 13.30pm. Dan saya hanya perlu satu sepeda motor. Bisakah Anda menyediakan untuk saya, tolong?

Bukit Cottage: Yes, sure, Miss Jolianne. All the best for you. What you need would be ready when you come.

Mr. Lintang welcomed John and Rebo when they came to his tavern, "hi...! Welcome to my tavern. Please come in." John and Rebo answered together, "thank you, sir."

John: Make us two coffee, sir. (In Indonesia, you can use this sentence to order a food or drink at a tavern or restaurant).

Mr. Lintang: Two coffee? Yes, wait a moment, please. 

Meanwhile, Mr. Lintang made the coffee. John and Rebo chatted until Mr. Lintang had finished to make their coffee.

And then Mr. Lintang told stories that when in the night he often went to the sea ride a traditional canoe to see the stars. He went to a small coral island to the north of Pasir Putih beach and stayed there to see the stars in the night sky. Mr. Lintang said that when he was there, he felt as if being inside of an enormous tube bottle of the stars. 

John and Rebo listened with pleasure and amazed by the place. They said that he could imagine how beautiful the place was. Blaa... Blaa... Blaa... John enjoyed the conversation with Mr. Lintang until Rebo reminded him it was time to go to Kawah Ijen. 

Rebo: I’m sorry to cut you off, but we actually gotta run to go to Kawah Ijen.

John just realized that it was already afternoon.

John: Well, it’s getting late. Anyway, we should get going. It was nice chatting with you, Mr. Lintang.

Mr. Lintang: Don't you want to go to the place I told to you?

Words and Phrase in Indonesian to Show Others You Are Listening and Have an Interest.

A simple learning from English to Indonesian.

Smell the fragrance of flowers at least once a year.

I am writing this with happiness for cultural exchange purpose. Having you read every the articles with English to Indonesian label, you will then know well the primary words or phrases that oftenest used in Indonesia. Have a fantastic day and may all the living beings be happy. Happy reading.

I believe that you are a very passionate person and have always a high curiosity. That's why you travel around the world, aren't you? 😊... And is Indonesia your next itinerary?

Here I want to show you how to respond in Indonesian when you listen to stories from other people or when they speak to you.

1. Really?

* "John, when I was a kid, at a bunch of bamboo trees we were there, there was an evil ghost who likes to kidnap youthful women in this village, called Gondoruwo," Rebo told a story to John during coffee time.

"Really? Ohh, I won't go there again," said John, frightened.

* "Hello, John. Please do not go to continue your travel, because all the cities are on lockdown because of covid-19," said Rebo.

"Really? I cannot go anywhere now?" John stood up from his seat while frowning.

From a conversation between John and Rebo above, I believe you know when you need the word, "Really?" in your conversations.

Now how to say it in Indonesian?

The word-reaction to uncertainty when doubt arises.

The word "Really" in Indonesian is "Sungguh."

This is the outlining of the word "Really" in Indonesian.

When you use the word, Really, with the suffix a question mark "?", there are four words that you can use, those are, "Benar?; Benarkah?; Sungguh?; Sungguhkah?" You can choose one of them, and all are correct.

Example:

John: Rebo, next year, I will fly to the moon.

John: Rebo, tahun depan, Aku akan terbang ke bulan.

Rebo: Really?

Rebo: Benarkah?

Additional example.

You: Hi, admin. I really like to read your article conten.

You: Hai, admin. Saya sungguh suka membaca konten artikel anda.

I am as an admin: Really?

I am as an admin: Sungguhkah?

I wish you can use the word, "Really," in Indonesian well.

2. That’s interesting.

This is the best way to say that you agree to go to somewhere offered by your friend in Indonesia.

Rebo: John, I will show you Pasir Putih beach in Probolinggo, tomorrow. 

John: What can we do there.

Rebo: Good question, John. We can take a traditional canoe to the middle of the sea and see the beautiful scenery in the sea through the glass provided on the boat. If you like diving, you can do that, too. Pasir Putih is the largest beach in Probolinggo. You will love it.

John: Woow...! That’s interesting, Rebo. I agree with you, we can go tomorrow.

Now how to say it in Indonesian?

"That's interesting," in Indonesian is, "Itu menarik." You can add adverb "Very = Sangat" to express that you really like it. "That's very interesting," in Indonesian is, "Itu sangat menarik."

Example.

a. That's interesting.

John: Woow...! That’s interesting, Rebo. I agree with you, we can go there tomorrow.

John: Woow...! Itu menarik, Rebo. Saya setuju denganmu, kita bisa pergi kesana besok.

b. That's very interesting.

John: Woow...! That’s very interesting, Rebo. I agree with you, we can go there tomorrow.

John: Woow...! Itu sangat menarik, Rebo. Saya setuju denganmu, kita bisa pergi kesana besok.

Retrieve directly: 

That's interesting = Itu menarik.

That's very interesting = Itu sangat menarik.

3. Uh-huh.

You can use "Uh-huh" when you interest and agree to other people's idea by nodding your head.

4. Right.

Maybe you use the word, "Right," to respond to people who speak to you.

Rebo: Hi, John. Resiwulan told to me you want to learn to make a jemblem cake.

John: Right! I want to learn for it. How interesting to make an Indonesian cake, Rebo!

Rebo: Yes, You right, John. Jemblem cake is a traditional cake in this village. All right, Resiwulan has ordered me to buy ingredients at the local market. Do you want to come along?

John: Yes, Right! I want to come along with you.

Rebo: So you will know how the local market in our village, John.

John: Right, Rebo.

Rebo: Let's go now!

Now how to say it in Indonesian?

The word, "Right," in Indonesian is, "Benar."

But when talking about sides, left-side and right-side, in Indonesian are sisi kanan dan sisi kiri. 

Left = Kiri; Right = Kanan.

The word. "Right," to show have an interest.

Example.

Rebo: Hi, John. Resiwulan told me you want to learn to make a jemblem cake.

Rebo: Hai, John. Resiwulan berkata kepadaku bahwa anda ingin belajar untuk membuat kue jemblem.

John: Right! I want to learn for it. How interesting to make an Indonesian cake, Rebo!

John: Benar! Saya ingin belajar untuk itu. Begitu menarik untuk membuat kue khas Indonesia, Rebo!

Rebo: Yes, You right, John. Jemblem cake is a traditional cake in this village. All right, Resiwulan has ordered me to buy ingredients at the local market. Do you want to come along?

Rebo: Ya, Anda benar, John. Kue jemblem adalah kue tradisional di desa ini. Baiklah, Resiwulan telah memerintahkan saya untuk membeli bahan-bahan di pasar lokal. Kamu mau ikut?

John: Yes, Right! I want to come along with you.

John: Ya, Benar! Aku ingin ikut denganmu.

Rebo: So, you will know how the local market in our village, John.

Rebo: Jadi, Anda akan tahu bagaimana pasar lokal di desa kami, John.

John: Right, Rebo.

John: Benar, Rebo.

Rebo: Let's go now!

Rebo: Mari kita pergi sekarang!

5. Sure.

John: I have decided, I will stay in Indonesia forever.

Rebo and Resiwulan: Are you sure, John?

John: Sure! I am sure! I have bought a house around here. I would become your neighbor.

Rebo and Resiwulan: Are you sure, John? That's so nice.

John: Sure! I am sure with that! Five months later, I will move here with my wife and children.

Rebo and Resiwulan: Are you sure, John? That's so beautiful.

John: Sure! I am sure! My wife and children are very interested to stay here.

How interesting for saying, "Sure," in English conversation.

Now how to say it in Indonesian?

"Sure," in Indonesian are, "Yakin / Tentu / Pasti."

John: I have decided, I will stay in Indonesia forever.
