If you are looking an online translator, well that's all you can get I think. Personally, i never trust online translator to translate my script or writing. It will never be precise. For single word, yes it is accurate. But for sentences or phrases, never use online translator. I suggest that you use the printed dictionary. So far, i use the one by: John M.Echols and Hassan Shadily, published by PT Gramedia Jakarta, Many academics refer to this dictionary because it's the best we can find here.

If "kok" is at the end, it has a different use. It is often combined with "only" or "just" (hanya/saja/aja/cuma) Kok kamu marah sih? Aku cuma/hanya bercanda kok Why are you angry? I am just kidding. for "mah", i think it's like "sih" in this way: Kalau saya sih lebih suka warna biru./ Kalau saya mah lebih suka..... As for me, I like blue more. "sih" is more common to use in all Indonesia's area. But "mah" i think it is used more in West Java (Bandung, Tasikmalaya,etc) and most jakarta "to/toh/tho" It is actually like the word "kan". It is very common in Central Java, especially the ones who speak Javanese. It is most likely, maybe most of the time, used in questions, therefore the intonation is up. Kamu suka nonton TV to? Kamu udah sarapan kan? They are the same use. You like watching TV, don't you? You have had breakfast, haven't you? "Deh" 'deh' often emphasises that something is true. Iya deh/oke deh.. => Alright then this one is different, but it barely has a meaning Kalau kamu mau aku juga mau (deh) If you want it, I want it too, really I hope this will help you Ririe.. If you have another question then let me know yaa

Yes, indeed Ririe.. It's hard to be understood when you're not a native speaker. But since you are eager to learn Indonesian, I will try to help you and explain the best I can, okay :) Kok, sih, kan,dong, deh, mah, lho/loh, to/toh/tho, gih, They are called "Emotive particles". And yes, they are very informal. Emotive particles are very often used in combination. Often you can roughly identify what each particle means in the sentence. But in many other cases you can’t really say what each one means – you can just see that the combination makes the sentence sound smooth and natural. "sih" sih on questions is very common. It tends to make the asker sound not really keen to get an answer. This softens many questions, by making them sound less abrupt. Please note, the intonation is very important in emphasizing the meaning. But I only can show you in speaking of course, hahaha Example: Rumahmu di mana sih? Where is your house anyway? With a slight change in the intonation, it will give a different impression: this is said to someone who is acting arrogantly: Siapa sih lu?! => Who do you think you are? Apa sih maumu?! => What the hell do you want?! Another change in the intonation implies a matter of fact like explanatory tone. Eh, mau pergi makan ya? Tapi aku udah makan sih. Hey, you guys wanna grab some food? but actually I already have eaten. Or Mamaku ngasi aku duit lagi. Padahal aku nggak butuh sih. My mom gave me money again. The thing is, I don't really need it. Sometimes it is used for agreement, like: Iya bener sih... => That's true, though "KOK" It is mainly to say "why", like the informal way to say "kenapa" Kok kamu jahat sih sama ku? Why are you mean to me? ("sih" doesn't really have any meaning here") Sometimes, it also suggests a situation when you are surprised, like to say "How come??" Kok bisa jadi masalah (sih)?! How come it's a problem?? +++ to be continued +++

Ini adalah pusar dunia

ini adalah pusar dunia (this is the navel of world)

ini adalah pusar dunia ..
di sini kita bertemu wajah-wajah aneh
dengan kecantikan agak alami
kulit ebony dari ayah pribumi
dan matanya zamrud yang bersinar seperti permata
wajah mestizo dari ras baru
baru, seperti millenium yang sedang memulai
ini adalah pusar dunia ,dan kita sedang sudah menari

ini adalah pusar dunia
tempat kita tidak tahu dimana kita akan berakhir
dan kembali lagi dalam diri sendiri
di dalam sumber mengenai napas
di sini kita bisa bertemu pria-pria bugil dengan pengalaman fantasi
ini adalah pusar dunia, merasa bahwa energi ini sedang menaik

ini adalah pusar dunia
di sini ada sumur imajinasi
dimana pengalaman berkumpul dan menjadi sebuah ekspresi
dimana kehidupan menjadi berharga
dan cinta kita menjadi sebuah tindakan
dimana tidak ada aturan, yang ada hanya pengecualian

ini adalah pusar dunia
di sini lahir energi
pusat tentang dunia yang baru
dari di sini dimulai semua jalan yang baru
dari provinsi oleh kerajaan yang besar
saya dengar suara yang sedang datang
ini adalah pusar dunia dan kita sedang sudah menari
ini adalah pusar dunia

 

Is this a poem or a song?

 

The correct word is "atau" for standard Indonesian writing. So, how come it becomes "apa" to replace "atau" Here is the explanation. Actually, it is from: Apakah dia itu laki-laki atau apakah dia itu perempuan? So, to shorten it in daily speaking, we say: Dia itu laki-laki apa perempuan? btw, "cowok" and "cewek" are informal. Hope this will help you.
