I am from England, living in Australia, and married to an Indonesian woman. I would like to enjoy English/Indonesian conversations with people (I have a Cert III in TESOL so I can help people with their English).

    Try this: Cindy and Bob do not seem to have many interaction repertories; rather, they repeat automatic responses to each other. Notice the "," changed to ";", and "instead" changed to "rather".

    You would say "his or her". In writing, you could write "his/her". For example: A person who is only interested in his/her own troubles is not your friend.

    How do I say "Any time" or "Any time after 3pm"? For example, in English: - What time shall I call you? - Any time after 3pm. How do I say that in Indonesian? Thank you.

    As far as I know, they are the same. They can be used interchangeably. Unless somebody else knows better ... ?

    Yes I am curious too. Is Bahasa Indonesia unsuitable for your purposes? Just wondering because it would probably be easier to find/learn Bahasa Indonesia than Bahasa Bali.

    It means "I have all four names", "I have possession of all four names", or "I know all four of the names". Same thing. He has the 4 names, but that is all he will tell us. He is implying that he is "working on" the situation, I suppose.

    It is used as a "filler". It doesn't usually mean anything. It's just something to say while the person thinks of the next words. You will also hear "like" a lot. "Oh that movie? It's was kind of like ... you know ... boring ..." Other similar phrases are: ya know, ya know what I mean?, ummm, uhhhh, look, it's kinda like, sort of, yeah nah. (They all mean NOTHING) :)

    Rumor is unconfirmed or unverified information. For example, "I heard that the factory is going to close down at the end of the year!" That is a rumor. Gossip is similar, but it is usually "secret" stuff about somebody else. For instance, a co-worker whispering, "Did you know Jane is pregnant?" That's gossip. Sometimes the two words can be used interchangeably; there is some overlap in their meanings. However, generally speaking, a "rumor" is nothing to be ashamed of; it's just unconfirmed information. "Gossip" is usually about a person(s) in particular, and causes embarrassment if that person(s) finds out that somebody was spreading the gossip.

    It's similar to "said", but it implies that the person is stating a fact (or something that they believe to be a fact). It has more "finality", or weight, than "said". "Stated" is somebody making a "statement". "We are lost," said Andrew. "We are lost," stated Andrew. The 1st one is just Andrew saying "we are lost". The 2nd one gives the reader the sense that Andrew is 100% sure they are lost, and he is stating that fact. Hope that helps a little bit.
