Notes
Punya may be used as a verb (to have, to own, to possess) or as a noun (property, belongings). When used as a noun, punya is synonymous with milik.
Saya punya I have
Dia punya She/He/It has Mereka punya They have
Verbs in Indonesian do not change tense. Thus, punya remains punya for the past, present, and future tenses. To distinguish between the tenses, the Indonesian language uses aspectual words, which are words that denote the relationship of the action to the passage of time, especially in reference to
completion, duration, or repetition. Some examples include sudah (already) to show completion, sedang for the present, and akan (will/is going to) for the future. Also, look for a time reference in the sentence to indicate the tense. If there is no time reference, then assume the sentence is in the past tense.
Saya sudah pergi kesana kemarin. I already went there yesterday. Dia akan pergi kesana besok. He will go there tomorrow. Mereka sedang pergi kesana sekarang. They are going there now. Kita pergi kesana. We went there.
A number cannot be placed before any Indonesian noun without the use of certain “classifier words” between the number and the noun. This is similar to English, as in a bunch of carrots, a pair of shoes, a flock of birds, and so on.
The most common classifier word is buah. It is used for objects. Another common classifier word is orang, which is used for people. For single objects, Se (meaning a or an) is attached as a prefix to the classifier word.
Sebuah mobil a car
Dua orang polisi two policemen Sebuah hotel a hotel Tiga buah apel three apples
