C What is a suitable gift to thank someone for having you for
terimakasih atas undangan makan di rumah orang? a meal?
Hadiah apa yang pantas diberikan sebagai ucapan terimakasih atas undangan makan di rumah orang?
Seller A Yes it’s common, but it’s less appropriate to bring food to
dinner/meal in someone’s house
Ya, biasa tetapi kurang pantas membawa makanan untuk undangan makan di rumah orang.
Info button: Indonesian people don’t take food when they have been invited for a meal because it looks as though they think the hosts won’t feed them well enough!
B Well Muslims do not eat any pig products. And many Muslims do not drink alcohol either.
Bagi orang Islam, dilarang makan makanan yang
mengandung babi. Dan juga orang Islam dilarang minum minuman keras.
Info button:
Muslims can only eat meat that has been prepared correctly. Shops will often advertise that they have ‘halal’ food so that Muslims know they can eat those things.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast all day and do not eat or drink anything until after sunset.
C I think that chocolates are a suitable gift.
Saya kira cokelat adalah hadiah yang pantas.
A Yes, I always take some food delicacies from my home region when I go to visit friends elsewhere.
Ya, saya selalu membawa makanan kecil yang lezat dari tempat tinggal saya kalau mengunjungi teman di daerah lain.
B Well Muslims cannot eat pigs or pig products, so you
wouldn’t give those. Cows are sacred to Hindu people. So you would never give beef or leather goods as a gift to a Hindu.
Bagi orang Islam, dilarang makan makanan yang mengandung babi, jadi kurang pantas memberi hadiah tersebut. Bagi orang Hindu, sapi adalah binatang keramat. Karena itu kurang pantas memberi daging sapi atau barang-barang kulit sebagai hadiah kepada orang Hindu.
Info button: Not everyone practises a religion in the same way. There can be different denominations (variations) of a faith, and individuals can practice their faith in different ways as well. For example, some Christian people eat fish on Good Friday, rather than red meat. But others may not worry about that.
C An adult can send a fruit basket the next day.
Mungkin, untuk orang dewasa bisa mengirimkan buah-buahan dalam keranjang keesokan harinya.

Seller A Oleh-oleh is an important tradition in Indonesia. I
sometimes buy small gifts of food from the sellers at the train station.
Oleh-oleh adalah tradisi penting di Indonesia. Saya kadang-kadang membeli hadiah makanan kecil dari penjual di setasiun kereta api.
Info button: Indonesian people usually take a gift with them to ‘open the door’ when they are going to visit someone. B Never give knives or scissors or other cutting tools, because that means cutting the friendship.
Jangan memberi pisau, gunting atau alat pemotong lain karena artinya memutuskan tali persahabatan
C For Chinese, white, blue and black are unlucky colours because they are used for funerals. So be careful when choosing and wrapping a gift!
Untuk orang Cina, putih, biru dan hitam adalah warna sial karena warna itu dipakai untuk pemakaman. Jadi, hati-hati kalau memilih atau membungkus sebuah hadiah!
A Of course! I always bring back some special foods if I travel so that my family and friends can try them too.
Tentu saja! Saya selalu membawa makanan khas kalau bepergian supaya teman-teman dan keluarga saya bisa mencobanya juga.
Info button: Different parts of Indonesia are famous for different food delicacies. What is your home region specialty? B Don’t give clocks or watches as they are associated with funerals and are very unlucky.
Jangan memberi hadiah jam atau jam tangan karena barang itu dihubungkan dengan pemakaman, dan membawa sial.
C Yes, the colour of a gift is important. Yellow, red and green are colours that symbolise happiness.
Ya, warna hadiah cukup penting. Warna kuning, merah dan hijau menandakan kebahagiaan.
Info button: The ‘meanings’ of colours can vary according to cultural background. For example, white means purity in Indonesia generally, but for Chinese people it is a funeral colour.

(thinks – which becomes speaks when selected)

Selamat pagi Pak. Mungkin nanti. Saya perlu informasi tentang adat memberi hadiah di Indonesia. Bisakah Bapak membantu saya?

Tidak, Pak. Saya perlu informasi tentang tawar-menawar. Bilamana orang Indonesia tawar-menawar?

Adult A Certainly. What would you like to ask?
Tentu saja. Mau bertanya apa?
B Not always. Supermarkets and department stores have fixed prices. However, at markets Indonesian people always bargain.
Tidak selalu. Di supermarket dan toserba, harganya pas. Tetapi di pasar orang Indonesia selalu tawar-menawar.
A I’ll try. What do you want to know?
Akan saya coba. Anda ingin tahu tentang apa?
B If the prices aren’t fixed then we always bargain for a cheaper price.
Kalau harganya tidak pas kami selalu tawar-menawar untuk harga lebih murah.
Student Follows A above: (thinks – which becomes speaks when
selected)
A Foreigners may pay higher prices for goods. Why is that?
(thinks – which becomes speaks when selected) A Is there a special way of giving or receiving gifts in Indonesia?
Orang asing biasanya mendapat harga lebih mahal. Mengapa begitu?
B Do Indonesian people use plastic bags when they shop?
Apakah orang Indonesia memakai tas plastik kalau berbelanja?
C Why would sellers sometimes give sweets as a change?
Mengapa penjual kadang-kadang memberi permen sebagai uang kembali?
Adakah cara khas dalam memberi atau menerima hadiah di Indonesia?
B Do Indonesian people give gifts to people they meet through their work?
Apakah orang Indonesia memberi hadiah kepada rekan yang ditemui di tempat kerjanya?
C Do Indonesian people open a gift straight away in front of the giver?
Apakah orang Indonesia biasanya membuka hadiah langsung di depan orang yang memberinya?
Seller A Local people shop in the market every day. If I give them
a good price tomorrow they’ll come back to my stall. But, tourists may not bargain well!
Orang lokal berbelanja di pasar setiap hari. Kalau saya memberi harga murah, besok mereka akan kembali ke kedai saya. Tapi, turis biasanya kurang bisa tawar-menawar!
B Sometimes, but most people bring their own baskets or bags.
Ya kadang-kadang, tetapi kebanyakan orang membawa tas atau keranjangnya sendiri.
Info button: The sellers must pay for the bottles in
Indonesia. So if you buy a cold drink in a small bottle, you must drink it at the stall and leave the empty bottle there. If you want to take the drink away, the stallholder will pour the drink into a small plastic bag with a straw.
People often regularly buy small sachets of things like shampoo or washing powder, rather than have to pay for large amounts. You can see the sachets hanging up behind the counter in many shops.
A We never give or receive a gift with our left hand. We use the right hand or ‘sweet’ hand. And it’s polite to show reluctance before you accept the gift. That way you don’t appear greedy.
Orang Indonesia tidak pernah memberi atau menerima hadiah dengan tangan kiri. Kami pakai tangan kanan atau ‘tangan manis’. Dan sangat sopan kalau menunjukkan rasa segan sebelum menerima hadiahnya. Dengan begitu tampak tidak rakus.
B Yes small gifts are given to show respect. They may have the business logo on them. If the visitor is a foreigner, the gifts might be an Indonesian souvenir.
Ya, hadiah kecil diberikan sebagai rasa hormat. Mungkin hadiah itu berlogo bisnis. Kalau yang berkunjung adalah orang asing, hadiahnya bisa berupa tandamata khas Indonesia.
Info button: Business people will avoid gifts that seem too personal or romantic, especially in Muslim cultures. If a
businessman needs to give a gift to a female, he may say that his wife is sending the gift, to avoid embarrassment or
misunderstanding.
C No. It’s more polite to say thank you and open the gift later.
C If there is only a little bit of change, we often give sweets. Those small coins are very annoying!
Kalau uang kembalinya sedikit saja, kami sering memberi permen. Karena uang receh sangat menggangu!
Info button: Having many small coins can be a problem. In 1994 Australia eliminated 1 and 2 cent coins and
transactions are rounded to the nearest 5 cents. Would you rather have some sweets instead?
That way you don’t appear to greedy or impatient.
Tidak, akan lebih sopan kalau mengucapkan terima kasih dan membukanya nanti. Dengan begitu tidak tampak rakus atau tak sabar.
Student Thank you Ma’am.
