Review Summary

  • Nouns (e.g., nasi, sate)
  • Number + Classifier + Noun
  • Minta + [item] + tolong
  • Saya + pesan + [item]

よくある間違い

In Indonesian, you must use a classifier (like 'piring' for plates) when counting nouns.

Wrong: Saya pesan dua nasi.
正解: Saya pesan dua piring nasi.

Always include 'Saya' as the subject and 'tolong' to maintain politeness in a restaurant setting.

Wrong: Minta nasi goreng.
正解: Saya minta nasi goreng, tolong.

The quantity should come before the noun and classifier, not at the end of the sentence.

Wrong: Saya ingin makan nasi goreng dua.
正解: Saya ingin pesan dua piring nasi goreng.
