Indonesian Questions

Learning the Indonesian Questions is very important because
its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you
master it the more you get closer to mastering the
Indonesian language. But first we need to know what the role
of Questions is in the structure of the grammar in Indonesian.
Indonesian questions may be either a linguistic expression
used to make a request for information, or else the request
itself made by such an expression. Usually it starts with why,
how, where, when.
Grammar Tips:
In Indonesian there are 4 ways of asking a question to get a
yes or no answer, and they are the following:
-Verb + pronoun: Unlike English, the auxiliaries do and does
are not used. apakah dia punya waktu luang? (Does she have
free time?)
-Pronoun + verb: Only the intonation makes the sentence
interrogative: apakah dia punya waktu luang? (Does she have
free time?)
-Verb +...+ pronoun. The pronoun goes last: apakah dia punya
waktu luang?(Does she have free time?)
-Finally you can also make a question by adding a tag
question to the end of a statement.dia punya waktu luang,
bukan? (She has free time, doesnt she)
Yes- No question

Question which seek the answer 'yes' or 'no' are yes-no
question. example

kamu lapar? (are you hungry)

tidak. (no)

the answer might not be a simple positive or negative . There
are many other responses, such as kadang-kadang (
sometimes), mungkin ( possibly) and so on.

Yes- no question are spoken with interrogative intonation,
marked by a rise in final pitch, and written with a final
question mark. Frequently intonation ( a question mark in
writing) is the only difference between a statement, marked
by a fall in final pitch and yes-no question


Sri sudah pulang (Sri has gone home)
Sri sudah pulang? (Has Sri gone home?)

Dia guru (he is a teacher)
Dia guru? (Is he a teacher?)
Bukan as a sentence tag

Bukan can be attached to a statement to turn it into a
question.Bukan then corresponds to a sentence tag with 'be',
'have', or 'do' in English. This is usually used either when the
speaker, is uncertain as to the truth of the statement, seeks
confirmation or, when knowing the statement to be correct,
seeks agreement from the addressee

Example:

kamu mahasiswa, bukan? (you are a student, aren't you?)

pesawat berangkat jam lima, bukan? (the plane leaves at
five, doesn't it?)


Here are some examples:

Learning the Indonesian Numbers is very important because
its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you
master it the more you get closer to mastering the
Indonesian language. But first we need to know what the role
of Numbers is in the structure of the grammar in Indonesian.
Indonesian cardinal number convey the "how many" they're
also known as "counting numbers," because they show
quantity.
Grammar Tips:
In Indonesian numbers from 1 to 20 are unique and therefore
need to be memorized individually. Numbers from 21 and
upwards are formed by using the following pattern: for
example 21 can be formed by using 20 + 1 while connecting
them. 22 = dua puluh dua. 45 can be formed by using 40 +
dan + 5 while connecting them: 45 = empat puluh lima.
