Classifiers:
Indonesian uses certain classifier words before nouns. This is similar to English when writing or saying ---
“a pair of,” “a bunch of,” “a flock of,” and so on. The general classifier word for things in Indonesian is buah, for weapons it is pucuk, and for people it is orang.
Se should be used before classifier words when a singular item is indicated, such as one, a, or an.
There are many more classifier words that are not listed here.
Dua orang polisi memakai pistol. Two policemen used pistols. Dia seorang sipil. He/She is a civilian. Mereka punya sebuah truk hamfi. They have a Humvee.
Nano memakai sepasang sepatu bot. Nano wears a pair of military boots. While se is used to indicate singularity, the classifier and prefix ber is use to indicate many.
Berpucuk-pucuk senjata ada di kamar itu. Lots of weapons are in that room. Berpasang-pasang sepatu bot dikirim lewat pos. Many pairs of boots were sent through the mail.
Prepositions ke and di:
Ke means “to” or “toward.”
Jalan ke pangkalan militer. This is the way to the military base.
Di (at, in, or on) may be followed with atas (above), bawah (below), dalam (inside), or luar
(outside).
Mereka tinggal di pangkalan militer. They live on the military base. Saya taruh pistol dibawah tempat tidur saya. I put my pistol underneath my bed.
Ada:
You have learned that adalah or ialah is the “to be” verb. You have also learned that its use is optional.
Ada, on the other hand, means “there is” or “there are,” and it may be used with the preposition di. Ada, in this case, has the meaning of where something is located, like at, in, or on.
Ada dua tentara di dalam mobil hamfi. There are two soldiers inside the Humvee.
Ada banyak keluarga militer tinggal di daerah ini. There are many military families
that live here. As stated in a previous lesson, the prefixes pe, pem, peng, peny, and pen, with the suffix an, turn verbs
Periksa (to inspect) becomes pemeriksaan (the inspection).
Note: The “p” sound is dropped from the word periksa.
Ini pos pemeriksaan. Anda harus keluar dari mobil anda! This is a checkpoint. You must get out of your car!
Dia punya pemeriksaan kesehatan di rumah sakit militer itu. He had a physical exam at that military hospital.
The prefix ber can be added to verbs, nouns, or numerals to form active intransitive verbs. Remember, intransitive verbs cannot take a direct object. When added to nouns, it changes the noun into its
possessive form, just as an apostrophe “s” does in English.
Kuasa means “power,” and berkuasa means “to have the power” or “to be in charge.”
Dia berkuasa di pos pemeriksaan itu. He is in charge in that checkpoint. Presiden berkuasa untuk menunjuk kepala staf. The president has the power to
appoint the chief of staff.
2. “What do soldiers do?” “What do soldiers use?” “What do soldiers wear?” Read along as you listen to the statements and repeat them after the speaker. Confirm the items shown in the photographs.
