Daily Routine Verbs
Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Indonesian verbs do not change based on the person, making them incredibly easy to learn for daily routines.
- Verbs remain the same regardless of the subject: Saya makan, Dia makan.
- Use 'tidak' before the verb to make it negative: Saya tidak makan.
- Add 'apakah' at the start for yes/no questions: Apakah kamu makan?
