Todays Word of the Day is Gosok

Hey, Barrie!

Great Indonesian lessons!

I don’t quite understand the second phrase, though. If penggosok means polisher, why would it be translated as a verb (My father polishes…). There must be a trick.

I have encountered this kind of problem several times when trying to translate Indonesian texts.

Needless to say, “The Word of the Day” section is one my favourites.

See you!

hi Barrie,

I don’t think Bergosok is exist in bahasa

and Hermann is right, the sentence should be:
Bapakku menggosok sepatunya tiap pagi.

if you write Bapakku penggosok sepatu means:
My father works as a shoe polisher
