ヒントとコツ (4)

🎯

The 'Lah' Trick

If you start a sentence with a verb to sound dramatic, always add '-lah'. It makes the inversion sound natural rather than like a mistake.

🎯

The 'Camera' Rule

Think of the verb as the camera. If you want the audience to see the action first, put the verb first. 'Lari dia!' is a close-up on the legs; 'Dia lari' is a wide shot of the person.

💡

Use 'belum' for 'not yet'

Never say 'tidak sudah'. Always use 'belum'.

🎯

The 'Adapun' Pivot

Use 'Adapun' whenever you feel you've talked too much about one person and want to switch to another. It's the smoothest way to transition.
