Aku Mau "Kepala"*1
Kemarin saya pergi ke pasar tradisional*2. Di sana saya melihat*3 banyak "kepala". "Kepala"-nya*4 banyak, hijau-hijau*5, dan segar-segar. Aku bertanya kepada seorang bapak*6, berapa harga "kepala"-nya. Bapak itu tertawa dan bertanya, " Kamu mau kelapa atau kepala?"Aku yakin, bapak itu masih tertawa sejak kemarin.
Dan, aku tahu di lain waktu aku ingin mengatakan, "Aku mau "kepala" yang manis."
* Please pay attention to the first letter, always type it in the capital. (I know alphabet differs a lot from Urdu writing)
1) Add quotation marks to indicate special meaning of the word.
2) The noun phrase pattern in bahasa consists of a noun followed by an adjective, e.g. buku merah (red book), rumah besar (big house), etc.
3) Change the word "lihat" (the root word) into an active voice by adding the prefix me-.
4) The word "-nya" refer to word "the" (kelapanya = the coconut)
5) I use a reciprocal form to emphasise it. (hijau-hijau=very green, segar-segar= so fresh)
6) If the man looks older, it's better to address him "bapak". If he's the same age with you or younger, then you can address him "laki-laki", but you first mention him. You can write "orang itu" afterwards.
It's such a hilarious story. I also find it difficult to pronounce "kedelai" and "kedelai". They are "soybean" and "donkey" respectively.
Keep on practising,
Tere

saya yakin, dia orng pria masih terus tertawa dari hari kemarin
dan aku tahu, se lainkali aku akan mengatakan lagi "Aku mau kepala kelapa yang manis"
