Indonesia English
1. Prefiks 1. Prefix
2. Infiks 2. Infix
3. Sufiks 3. Sufix
4. Konfiks

Does English have any konfix?

Is “renewable” a konfix?
 is Indonesian Language so difficult to learn?
Other than its affix games, here are the reasons why Indonesian
language tends to be difficult for foreigners to master

1 Formal Indonesian
is not used for casual
2 Colloquial/Vernacular Indonesian
is not standardized and varies
communication, just like: depending on the area as it tends
to be mixed with local language
Shakespearean English
Arabic Fusha
3 Colloquial/Vernacular Indonesian
Is very fluid and changing, with new
but it’s still used in formal slang emerging from time to time that
letters, textbooks, and only particular youth groups can
newspaper understand
take a peek at the Latest Trends
“Kenapa ga mau coba sama orang baru?”
N.B.
1. The purpose of this topic is not to shame the English learners especially
beginners, but rather to use everyday problems as faulty examples and learn through
them

2. The context matters. The person “in the wrong” or “orang baru” is someone
who flirt with his/her crush while, in most cases, his/her crush is already way too
turned off to respond back. In addition, despite being told that his/her English need
to be fixed, “orang baru” tried to justify his/her point and some even assumed that
the misconception happened because his/her crush’s lack of knowledge.
 Indonesian Homonym
Same pronunciation, same spelling, different meaning

“Bisa”
means “able” (V) or “venom” (N)

“Jam”
means “clock” (N) or “hour” (N)

Other Indonesian homonym:

“Hak” “Bulan” “Genting”

“Sleep well”
“Well”
It can be found in the
comment section that many
people are curious about
the correct answer to
“Sleep well”

Here are the

recommended answers:

“You too!”
“Thanks, I hope you do too!
 My Pleasure
1. Idiomatic response to “Thank you”
2. More polite & emphatic than “You’re welcome”
3. Shows that you were very happy to help

“Have a nice rest my pleasure” is not suitable

If he wanted to say that he’s happy with her being able to

rest, here are the recommendations on how to put it:

“Happy to know that you get some rest”

“Happy to know that you can finally take a break”

It seems to me that he wanted to use “my pleasure” as an

endearment or a pet name. If that was the case, here are
the recommended replacements:

My treasure, my love, my dear

Nonliteral Meaning
Dalam beberapa kondisi, bahasa tidak bisa diterjemahkan
secara harfiah per kata, melainkan harus secara keseluruhan

“Congratulation night”
Bahasa Indonesia
Selamat: congratulation
malam: night

English
Good night
Not congratulation night

“You’re welcome”
English
You’re: kamu
Welcome: selamat datang

Bahasa Indonesia
Sama-sama
Not same-same

Meaning & Context

Initialisms Acronyms Words Phrases

Context means the setting of a word or event. If your friend is furious at you for calling her your
worst enemy, remind her that the context of those remarks was Opposite Day.

Can’t find its closest full-meaning in Indonesia, will be explained by context

Could mean different or even the opposite, depends on the context
