Using the Prefix Me with Root Words

Thanks Barrie that was awesome. Your posts are so much better thsn anything I did with ‘word of the day’, because of your vast knowledge.

G’Day Nick,

Thanks mate, I try considering the amount of other things I have to do.

Obviously I have made a few small mistakes and been corrected for my errors in Bahasa Indo. Shit happens eh mate!

Tidak apa apa, as they say in Yogyakarta.

G’Day Nick,

Cheers mate. In Yogykarta they say (and I bet i’ll spell this wrong!) - Tak opor-opor. That’s Bahasa Jawa!.

Anybody out there care to correct me?. Hey Yenny, how do you spell it?

hahaha…
Barrie, it’s ora opo opo,

Opor is a kind of food using coconut milk
Opor ayam….yummmmm

and,
to run away = Melarikan diri (Melari is not exist)
running = Berlari

hmmm…where’s my previous post???

hehe, Barrie,
it’s ora opo opo

Opor is a kind of food that using coconut oil
Opor ayam….yummmm

to run away = Melarikan diri (there is no Melari in bahasa)
running = Berlari

Hi Yenny,

Thanks for the proper spelling in Bahsa Jawa. I wasn’t sure of that not having studied it.

And, I write and use Bahasa Indonesia as I was taught. That is, by a Professor from Universitas Indonesia.

Bazza & Yenny,
Great to have you both here to help us other Bali Bloggers with some words/spelling..

Cheers!

Barrie,

I’ve just started learning Bahasa. Your word of the day is a great resource. On this one, I have a question and a request.

First the question: on the prefix Meny that’s only used with words whose first letter begins with S, is the S always dropped?

Now the request: please provide the additional information you offered on prefix Pe.

Thanks, Tim

Hi Tim,

Yes, MENY is only used for those words beginning with the letter ‘S’.

The same applies when using the prefix PENY’. I will do the PE prefix for you soon.

I put this tip somewhwere else but I will give it to you now: Yaitu (that is), pick 10 words out of the Indo/English dictionary per day. If you can reemeber at least 7 or 8 of those words and their meanings, then you will find it will vastly improve your vocabulary. Just learn the root word (basic word).

Thanks Tim.

thanks. everyone. yo. G. root words suck. i hate language arts!!!
