If I remember correctly, Indonesian language has a lot of Portuguese words, not as much as the Dutch though.

[@lucasli7826]

Actually Portuguese is quite similar to Indonesian tho. Coz even the root of Bahasa Indonesia is Malay but developed with alot influence from Portuguese, Dutch, Spanish, English, and Arab (other than local languages). Actually Indonesian language is the youngest language among all of South East Asian languages, less than 100 years but one of the most developed with more than 120 thousand words & still counting.

Omg 2 Indonesians in 1 video, am i dreaming 😍

[@Surcradis]

[@kilanspeaks]

I think this is the first video on this channel with two Indonesian participants? 2:08 The proper term is “sepeda motor” although, yes, we only say “motor” in daily conversation. 3:41 Haha, good guess, but “sepeda” actually came from “vélocipède” which is originally a French word. Nowadays, the French clipped it and say only the first part of the word (vélo) while we Indonesians say the rest (sepeda). 😁 4:03 So, the correct word is actually “bus” in Indonesian, but we usually say “bəs” (with a schwa, like how Genesia pronounced it) or “bis” (like how Stefanie pronounced it). Why the confusion? Because we borrowed it from Dutch, and their “u” sounds kinda in between “u” and “i.” But yeah, the proper way to say it in Indonesian would be like “boos” if you wrote it in English phonetics. 6:33 Ugh, this is classic Indonesian inconsistency with loan words. It started as “telefon,” but in the ’50s they wanted to get rid of the letter “f,” so they changed it to “telepon.” Now they decided that “f” is cool again, so both “telefon” and “telepon” are acceptable. Make it make sense! 7:15 Yeah most people just say “sandwich,” but if you wanna go proper Indonesian, it’s either “roti lapis” or “roti apit.”

Sempre tive dificuldade em distinguir Tailândia, Malásia, Indonésia, Filipinas e Singapura...o Vietnã é o único que consigo identificar realmente por motivos óbvios...sei que são países diferentes com histórias e culturas diferentes mas é como diferenciar um chinês, japonês e koreano somente pela aparência....para um ocidental é muito complicado.

[@Syiepherze]

Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore -- and Thailand to a lesser extent -- have a shared culture and history, so the languages spoken there will have similarities. The main varieties of Malay(-ic) languages spoken are Bahasa Malaysia/Bahasa Melayu (or "Malay"; spoken in Malaysia and Brunei, and in Singapore chiefly among Singaporean Malays) and Bahasa Indonesia ("Indonesian"; in Indonesia). The Malay languages are Austronesian (so they are distant cousins of Hawaiian or Malagasy), and have influences from Sanskrit, Tamil, Arabic, Persian, and various Chinese languages (due to invasions, contact with foreign religions, trade/migration, etc) as well as the colonial languages of Portuguese, Dutch, and later English. Of course, other languages are spoken by the different ethnic groups in the region. Thai on the other hand, is a unique language (Kra-Dai family) but it has some similar historical influences For example, one common Portuguese word throughout is "sabão"; in Malay/Indonesian it exists as "sabun", while in Thai there is สบู่ (sà-bùu) (I can't speak Portuguese, sorry 😅)

[@eduardosantos5078]

I never seen someone in Philippines use English as communication tool for other languages unless it's their first language. We use random English words here and there but most us would still use Philippine languages. Here's the thing, In Philippines we don't usually use Tagalog cause it depends on the region you visit. If your language closer to the other regional language then it's fine to communicate using your own language with random Tagalog or English words. For Example in southern Philippine most of the people speak Cebuano so Cebuano can still use as a tool for communication. Same goes to Northern Luzon, everyone has their own language but their common language is Ilocano. Now if the case is northern meet southern, I think that's the moment where Tagalog is use but this is a rare case tho cause we don't usually visit each other.

[@aerainkorea]

this is so true!~ i actually shared how people from other regions like cebu & ilocos communicate since i had experience like this before when i met someone from cebu but doesn't know tagalog so we sorted to english.. it was just not included here, i guess😂😅

Official Indonesian vocabulary is written in the "Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI)" or Big Indonesian Dictionary. Indonesian vocabulary is increasing day by day and developing rapidly due to progress in the development of the Indonesian language which emerged from the Indonesian region or during the daily use of Indonesian by Indonesians. So it's very cool if we use and develop Indonesian vocabulary. FYI, in 2023, Indonesian will become the 10th official language at the UNESCO general assembly or conference and is part of the education curriculum in many countries. Indonesia has the following principles: Prioritize Indonesian, preserve regional Indonesian languages, and master foreign languages.

As an american who has traveled much of the world and lived months at a time in other places, particularly the "english" speaking philippines where I met my wife, I can tell you english is an adventure in southeast asia (or even down in NZ and OZ for that matter). My wife is not normal, she is a writer and editor in English and completely lost her filipino accent within a week of us moving to california at 29. Having a primer before travel will make it less "interesting". For example I learned that in Malaysia you need to find out the other speaker's ethnicity before using any language that could be viewed as evangelical. Along the borders in Thailand you have to comport yourself as a nonpolitical being, while you can mostly just relax in the capital as long as you don't ever talk about the monarch. Singapore and Vietnam are other places where you can mostly just enjoy yourself as long as you first gain a clear legal understanding of some unique features. Indonesia is diverse in language, so they're used to speaking Bahasa or English with people from other parts. And then the Philippines where sorta everyone speaks some kind of English I knew not to tell a woman that she is a great hostess (the ultimate compliment to women in America), not to ask for a napkin or kleenex, to ask for colgate instead of toothpaste, to ask for a cr instead of a toilet, not to book motels, not to talk about overseas job opportunities, and not to talk about how much I like eating sara lee products... but all of that can vary by region, of which there are so many.
