    Please also explain the use of word 냄새 in this sentence, because I think it has an abstract meaning.

    What does this sentence mean? So I found this sentence "뭐든사람사는냄새가좋다" somewhere. Does it mean "All people are good"? I really appreciate it if you can give some explanation. 감사합니다! :D

    How common for a girl to call a boy/man older than her 형? So I watched this movie and a girl called a man older than her 형 instead of 오빠. Is it common? Why did she do so? Do you Koreans see it as a strange thing? I find it interesting actually, because I personally like listening to the pronunciation of 형 and I like pronouncing it as well.

    I quit to be a teacher 2 years ago but last week I started to help a 12 years old girl to study english.
    I remember how much I liked this relationship "Teacher-student, She is a hyperactive girl and very smart but also a lazy girl.

    Belajar bahasa Indonesia tanggal 15 Maret 2016

    1. Kenapa Anda sekarang keluar kantor meskipun belum dapat izin dari orang jepang? (actually I don't really get what you mean by "luar kantor", but I assume it's "go out of office")
    Pasti harus informasikan Pastikan untuk memberitahu ke orang jepang terlebih dahulu sebelum keluar kantor untuk kirim mengirim barang.
    Hati-hati lain kali (this sentence is fine, but "lain kali hati-hati" sounds more natural).(←How to say" next time, please be careful" dalam bahasa Indonesia?)
    2. Bisanya sebelum dapat izin dari orang jepang, Anda tidak bisa keluar kantor sendirian.
    3. Saya mau minta data hasil penjualan ke India dari Januari 2015 sampai Desember 2015.
    (How to say " Please send the data by PDF file" dalam bahasa Indonesia?) (it's "tolong kirimkan datanya dalam bentuk PDF")
    4. Mohon dikirim kirimkan data itu segera.
    5. A: Saya baru saja dapat e-mail dari Anda. Bolehkah saya sekarang memajukan itu kah mengerjakannya/memulainya/melakukan tahap selanjt?(Artinya "Is it ok to proceed this
    now?")
    B:Boleh.
    6: Tolong dilihat yang terlampir. (Please see attachment.)

    Using informal language is not rude at all in Indonesia. In fact, we hardly talk in formal language except when it is extremely formal, like if you are a news presenter. I even use informal language when talking to my supervisors. It becomes unacceptable when you are impolite, even if you use formal language, so be careful on the words you choose instead of thinking about whether it's formal or informal. However, if you are a foreigner, we do understand that you are still learning so that even if you chose the wrong words and sound impolite, as long you do it unintentionally, it will always be fine.

    "mau" and "ingin" has the same meaning. However, "ingin" is formal and "mau" is informal.

    Well, actually, the change of word order of "sedikit" in your example sentences HAS NO relationship with the word "bisa". The word "bisa" is added just to emphasize that you CAN speak a little Indonesian, but it does not affect the position of "sedikit". All of three sentences have the same meaning and are all natural. But, the problem is, the first and the third sentence are FORMAL, while the second sentence is INFORMAL so that it does not really follow the order of standard sentence. The second sentence has a slangy nuance and you can only find and use it in informal situation.

    Tentang Belajar Bahasa Indonesia

    Aku suka sekali belajar bahasa Indonesia karena bahasa ini memang bahasa yang sangat menarik. Walaupun tidak ada banyak peraturan-peraturan grammar, bukan berarti bahasa Indonesia adalah bahasa yang seratus persen gampang. Setiap bahasa ada kemudahannya dan kesulitannya. Kemudahan bahasa Indonesia yaitu tatabahasanya. Tapi yang sangat sulit butat pelajar asing itu perbedaannya antara bahasa Indonesia yang formal, dan bahasa Indonesia yang tidak formal, alias bahasa gaul. Kalau misalnya seorang asing belajar bahasa indonesia melewati melalui buku selama 10 tahun, tapi tidak pernah ke Indonesia, kalau dia ke Indonesia nanti, sulit banget loh mengartikan omongan orang-orang di jalan dan semacamnya. Ini aku kasih satu contoh dalam bahasa Indonesia bisa bilang begini "Saya tidak mau mengabiskan waktu dengan teman-teman saya" tapi di Jakarta, anak-anak muda pasti tidak bercakap berbicara seperti ini, mereka akan bicara begini "gw nggak mo ngabisin waktu ama temen2 gw." Aku, sebagai orang asing yang dulu tinggal di kampung/desa, malah lebih terbiasa berbicara mengunakan bahasa Indonesia yang tidak formal dan terbercampur dengan bahasa daerahnya, bahasa jawa. Dulu di Indonesia saya pasti ngomong beginig "aku ra gelem ngabisin waktu mbek konco2ku" yaitu bahasa jawa terbercampur dengan bahasa Indonesia.

    *****

    *"seorang (yang) asing" means "a stranger". "orang asing" on the other hand, has two meanings: "foreigner" and "a stranger". So in this context, because what you mean (i suppose) is a foreigner, you cannot use "seorang asing"

    *"melewati" has a closer meaning to "across", so it's not appropriate in your text.

    *"bercakap" is more common in Malay, but not in Indonesian. We prefer "berbicara" instead. If you use "bercakap-cakap", it's fine. However, it must be followed by an object. You can say "bercakap-cakap dengan (name a person or people)", but you cannot say "bercakap seperti ini".

    *"tercampur" has a nuance of "mixing something without intention or accidentally". In my point of view, in term of non-formal  languages, you don't do it accidentally.


    This is one of the best Indonesian notebook entries I've ever corrected (Well, I did not correct that many, though). Well done!

    "I am always thirsty" can be translated as: [very formal] * Saya selalu haus ==> saya (I) selalu (always) haus (thirsty) * saya selalu merasa haus ==> saya (I) selalu (always) merasa (feel) haus (thirsty, intransitive verb) * saya selalu merasa kehausan ==> saya (I) selalu (always) merasa (feel) kehausan (the state of being thirsty, noun) You can use the same sentences as above and make it colloquial by changing the subject you use and add some exclamations, such as: [informal] * aku selalu haus ==> aku(I) selalu (always) haus (thirsty) [slangy] * gue haus terus nih ==> gue (I, slang) haus (thisrty) terus (keep) nih (an exclamation, slang) You use "nih" only in a very informal conversation and can be used in many different ways. However, in the above sample, you use it to emphasize the fact that you're always thirsty, and also to attract other people's attention. I've tried to think how to express that sentence in other ways, but we don't have many variations for it. So changing the subject and adding some exclamations are all you need to do to use it in colloquial speech.
