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.

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