Ada banyak 'partikel' yang suka diomongin waktu ngomong bahasa Indonesia. Orang asing yang belajar bahasa indo lalu datang ke indo pasti bingung ko banyak kata yang ga ngerti yah? Malah kalo kita sendiri ga pelajari, artinya pun ga tau. Misalnya, lagi makan baso, lalu temen nanya dari belakang, "Lagi makan apa sih?". Kata "sih" di sini gada arti khususnya, cuma menunjukkan perasaan. Inilah enaknya pake bahasa Indo daripada Inggris, soalnya banyak kata penanda perasaan, seperti bahasa Jepang juga.

There are many 'particles' that often be spoken while speaking Indonesian. A foreigner that has learnt Indonesian and comes to Indonesia will of course be confused with so many 'words' that he/she doesn't understand. Even when an Indonesian himself, if he/she never have thought about the particles, the meaning is also not understood. For example, while eating meatball soup, a friend comes from behind and asks, "Lagi makan apa sih? ("What are you eating sih?"). This "sih" has no specific meaning, it only expresses feeling. This is the advantage of using Indonesian than English, because there are so many words indicating feeling, as it is with Japanese.

Kemarin ada bule nanya lewat imel, dia mau bikin suatu artikel mengenai bahasa 'kasar' Indonesia, lalu minta ku cekin dulu dan minta saran2 dsb. Ternyata karena orangnya uda belajar indo cukup lama, bagus juga pembahasannya. Walaupun ada beberapa yang salah dan terasa aneh. Jadi ku bantuin dan tambah beberapa kata baru.

Yesterday a western asked me by email, she wanted to make an article about Indonesian slang, then she asked me to check it first and to give some suggestions etc. The fact that she has studied Indonesian for quite a long time, the article is good enough, although some are wrong and some feel unnatural. So I helped her and added a few new words.

Gara2 itu ku jadi tertarik dan mau coba bikin ulasannya di sini. Semoga lumayan nyambung dan berguna untuk orang asing yang belajar bahasa Indonesia. (Sebetulnya ku tulis artikel2 juga uda sedikit2 pake partikel itu yah?)

Because of that I become interested on it and now want to make an article about it. I hope it can be followed and is useful for foreigners that learn Indonesian (Actually I wrote the articles with some particles, didn't I?)

From what I know, "Si", "Sang" etc are not considered slang words. It can be used in formal writing. It is just a word placed before a name to call somebody who doesn't deserve words like "Pak", "Bu", etc ^^

Hey... I came across this page when I was exploring, seeking for Indonesian slang language. Currently I am constructing my new weblog. I don't think it's a good idea to visit my blog as it hasn't been finished yet. Well... I have to say that your article is very good. I am surprised! But I think your efforts are useless: Languages cannot be systematize, I think. Besides, English doesn't have particles, so...
But... Your article is very good (haven't I said that?)

Having reverse pattern comparing to Indonesian and English, Japanese has something to be considered. For instance, Watashi wa Indomie ga suki = Saya Indomie suka = I Indomie like. I've been wondering why Japanese has that kind of pattern. Where does it come from? A friend of mine told me that its stucture showed us how they try to make the relationship between subject and object are so close. What about Indonesian language? Are there any causes why slang paricles exist in Indonesia language? Once we understand this, we will appreciate our language more than ever even they are only slang particles.

Ibham Veza [jp], 26 Feb 2007, 4:36 reply
I think, actually, I'm quite positive that the Indonesian particles are needed when spoken, because Indonesians want and need to be expressive. Otherwise, Indonesians will sound too dull like in meetings or speeches. Example:
A: Koq lu nggaq ngomong ke gue dulu sih? Why didn't you tell me sih? (with 'sih'=expression of sadness and disappointment, without 'sih' = expressing anger)
B: Lho, kan udah gue bilangin. Lho, kan I told you already. ('lho'=expressing surprise, without 'lho'= I'm not so surprised that you didn't know, with 'kan'=did you not hear me?, without 'kan'=in my opinion it sounds like B is blaming A for not listening to B) There's a whole intonation that comes into play with this. I have heard foreigners speaking Indonesian by making up their own intonations. It sounds really strange because I can't tell their emotion when speaking, but some foreigners can pull it off really well that they sound like real Indonesians.

Jika ada kelompok belajar bahasa korea atau orang korea yang berminat belajar bahasa indonesia atau inggris, saya berkenan bertukar ilmu dengan anda semua. Tanpa dipungut biaya tentunya.
Kalau ada yang berminat tolong kirim email ke debie_cp@yahoo.com

debie [id], 2 Mar 2007, 12:57 reply
Say, menurut aku, kata 'sih', 'dong', 'deh' ... dll, itu bukan menunjukan feeling tapi lebih ke arah emphasis (penekanan). Kalo bahasa Inggris mungkin seperti kata 'though'. Misalnya: 'I don't know though', kalo di artikan ke bahasa Indonesia kurang lebih 'gue ngga tau deh'. Atau contoh lain kata 'well' di depan kalimat dalam bahasa Inggris.
Aku quote para 1 di atas: 'Inilah enaknya pake bahasa Indo daripada Inggris, soalnya banyak kata penanda perasaan' ... Aku agak kurang setuju dengan kalimat ini. Bahasa Indonesia lebih enak karena struktur bahasanya gampang di pelajari dan grammar-nya ngga macem-macem, tapi susahnya di Indonesia banyak bahasa percakapan (colloquial) yang ngga masuk di kamus. Tapi kalo di bilang bahasa Indonesia lebih enak di pake karena banyak pake perasaan ... kayaknya ngga ada hubungan dengan kenapa suatu bahasa lebih enak di pake atau ngga. Bahasa Inggris juga banyak pake perasaan, misalnya 'jeez oh' ... ini kurang lebih artinya 'duile' atau 'ya ampun' ... dll.
Thanks.

I don't have many comment.in my opinion,"in the real indonesian language never have the slang particles.it is like: "sih,kok,si,etc".for example :
1. "Ada apa,sih ?"
2. "Kok,marah ?"
3. "Si Bayu pergi ke pasar". dan lain-lain
so,that is only bahasa yang tidak baku(bahasa gaul)artinya kita tidak di haruskan menggunakan partikel-partikel itu.tetapi,harus ingat penekanan nada pada kalimat tersebut, apakah kalimat itu kalimat tanya, kalimat pernyataan atau kalimat perintah.
for example :
1. Ada apa ?
2. Mengapa marah ?
3. Bayu pergi ke pasar.
ok ?.............for this.thanks.........

Lho, deng, ye, bok ama mah-nya manah? Ni deh, gue tambain. I would like to add four more:
DENG:
- (with a smile) I was lying/I was joking
A: Umur lo brapa? How old are you?
B: 27 bok! Eh, nggak 23 deng! I was lying and joking, I'm actually 23 (said with a smile)
- (usually with a serious face) I was wrong
A: Giman udah dateng belom? Has Giman arrived?
B: Udah. Yes, he has.
A: Lho, boilnya mana? Lho, where's his car?
B: O, belom deng... O, he hasn't arrived deng...
YE:
- That's not what I was talking about
A: Lu bisa berenang? Can you swim?
B: Bisa lah, gaya doang batu sich. Yes of course, but only rock style sich.
A: Ye, itu mah gua juga bisa. Ye, I can do that too. (That's not what I call swimming)
- Disappointed in you (in a funny way)
A: Lho, TVnya koq nggaq nyala2? Lho, why isn't the TV turning on?
B: Ye, kalo kabelnya belom kepasang, mana mungkin? Ye, if the cable is not even plugged, how is it possible?
BOK/BOQ (this is pretty new actually, I only started hearing it 3 years ago)
- Similar to the second meaning of lho written in the article, but whereas lho is used when the listener doesn't know the statement, bok is used regardless of whether the listener knows or doesn't know. Used mostly to emphasize when telling something.
- Or it's used to mean, friend like 'coy'
A: Pestanya di rumah lu aja bok! Let's have the party at your house bok!
B: Tapi rumah gua nggak gede2 amet bok! But my house is not really that big bok!
SICH/SIH (adding two meanings)
-blaming/you/his/their/my mother's/that person's fault
A: Yah, kita ditinggalin. Yah (sad), they left us.
B: Elu sich lelet banget. You sich are so late. (your fault)
-admitting/ I must admit...
A: Eh, lu kan udah lama di Jepang, lu udah mantep dong bhs Jepangnya...? Eh, you've lived in Japan for so long, your Japanese must be really good, right?
B: Gua belom bisa ngomong sich, tapi nangkep doang sich gua udah bisa. I can't speak yet sich (admitting), but understanding sich (if you're only talking about understanding), I understand pretty well.
MAH

me = nge (used in active sentence)
merokok (formal) = ngeroko (informal) = (rokok=smoke;me- = -ing = smoking)
memakan = ngemil = eating
makan = eat
me-makan=eati-ing
ngemil = eating (only for eating snacks, u should always say NGEMIL, MIL itself has no meaning)
aku = I/me (formal for dating/personal relation/only used beetween male to female, if used by male to male could describe having a GAY relation)
saya = I/me (formal for business/asking direction/not so personal relation)
gw = I/me (slank)
gw cape ah = i'm tired (+ah means confirmation of the tired condition, without +ah means you're tired but perhaps still can continue little bit)
kamu = you (formal for personal relation)
anda = you (formal for business relation)
lu / loe / luh = you (slank)
awas lu yeh = watch it (treathening words; with +yeh ending as a confirmation that you really should be carefull)
hueeee, baru sadar kalo bahasa indonesia itu susah juga dipelajari yah, kirain mandarin itu bahasa paling susah, ternyata ngajarin bahasa indonesia itu yang paling susah karena terlalu banyak partikle yang harus disesuaikan dengan keadaan sekitar dan perasaan dan penekanan, termasuk kata2 makian juga banyak sekali perubahan pemakaian partikel nya yah. hohoho.....
stupid = bodoh (soft/formal); bego (quite harsh); tolol (very harsh); gebleg (soft, used for joking)
gw gampar lu = i slap you OK (could be a threatening, could also be used in joking, depend on the speaker face)
cape lah, banyak banget yang mesti di tulis, hehehe
(tired - lah, so many to be written)
banyak = many
banget = so..... (so many) = slank
sangat = so..... = same like banget, it just formal type
well, better come to indonesia to hear the slank spoken by indonesian, step by step you could get a feeling on that slank language when to be used or when is not.

Hi, I think this article is very useful... i do want to suggest to make this article perfect is to add sound clips of the usual intonations of the particle because of course english speaking intellectuals usually arent equipped witht he skill of properly intoning foreign expressions.
thank you,

sughoi ne..... keren banget ada yg menuliskan tentang partikel slang dalam bahasa indonesia.
selama ini memang inilah bagian yg sulit dijelaskan pada orang asing yang belajar behasa indonesia. pengajar biasanya hanya mengajarkan bentuk formal, alhasil begitu orang asingnya datang ke indonesia jadi bengong. hehhehe
salam kenal ya.... boleh minta data pribadinya untuk sumber? kalau nanti artikel ini saya bagikan pada siswa saya nanti... *_^

Bahasa Indonesia baku sebenar nya sudah lengkap untuk menjadi bahasa percakapan, namun karena Indonesia ini terdiri dari banyak bahasa daerah yang mempengaruhi Bahasa Nasional maka timbullah bahasa yang tidak beraturan ini atau lebih dikenal sebagai bahasa Pasar. untuk mengerti arti dan maknanya tidak lain belajar bahasa asalnya. bahasa Pasar atau lebih dikenal sekarang "slag" ditiap daerah tentu saja tidak sama. yang selama ini orang cuma tahu slag jakarta. sebenarnya ada banyak slag di Indonesia. slag Medan, slag Aceh, slag makasar dst. tolong dicari saja. jadi mari berbahasa Indonesia dengan baik dan benar. Bahasa menunjukkan Bangsa.
