Welcome to the DAY12 Phrase Book

INDONESIAN

Compiled for The DAY12 Phrasebook by Eva Asmus (Germany)

The DAY12 Phrase Book has been lovingly compiled by Day12 readers from around the world to arm you with a few words and phrases for your next destination. From basic vocabulary such as 'Yes', 'No' and 'Thank-you', and simple structures like, 'Where is the..?' and 'How much is this?' to the more advanced, 'I'm bored of talking. Shall we go to bed?' and 'Is that a ghost?!', The DAY12 Phrase Book will help you get by with the minimum of fuss and the maximum of fun. Enjoy, or as they say in France, 'Cafe au lait!'

Add your language...

Pronunciation: It would be impossible to adequately express, in text, the correct pronunciation of the phrases below, so to avoid being misinterpreted by the old woman at the bus stop, can we suggest you use the printable version to break the ice on your next train journey and have a local talk you through the correct pronunciation? And if they suggest any useful phrases, let us know and we'll add them to the list. As with many languages, Indonesian has different ways of saying 'I' and 'you' depending on the level of politeness. The examples below use the formal or polite forms.

Do you speak a language that doesn't appear here? Email us at morethanfootprints@day12.com and we'll send you the template for this page. You can also get in touch if you have ideas for any words or phrases we've missed.
