LEARN INDONESIAN - Unit 2. How To Respond To "TERIMA KASIH"
Actually, it's so easy to reply a "Terima kasih". Most commonly, Indonesian will say “Sama-sama”. But, sure You can have a variety of responses depending upon the situation you are in, or adapt your reply depending on your relationship with the person you know. For instance, I may respond differently if it is a close friend or a stranger. But, the goal is to give a positive impression to the person you are talking to.

"Sama-sama"

Yes, I use this phrase in every formal situation or talking to a stranger. That's why I never use this phrase to my best/close friends, my family, or any close person I have. Because, personally, it is just awkward and feel like make a distance between us.

Then, what do I usually say to respond a "Terima kasih" from my close person?

This!

"Siap / Siaaap / Iyah / Okeee / Sip / Okesip"

And "Siap/Siaaap" is my favorite anyway. :D

LEARN INDONESIAN - Unit 1. KATA GANTI (Pronouns)
I = Saya / Aku

"You can use both of them in a formal/informal situation. But, personally, the word "Aku" has a cute/soft tone. Hehe!.

You = Kamu / Kalian

"The word "Kamu" means you as singular, while "Kalian" means you as plural. So, whenever you have a speech in front of a group of people, you'd better use "kalian". Sometimes, I replace the word "kalian" by using a phrase "Kamu semua", and it has a neutral tone."

Example:
- Kamu istriku satu-satunya = You're my only love.
- Kalian adalah murid kesayanganku = You guys are my beloved student!
- Kamu semua adalah murid kesayanganku = You guys are my beloved student!

She = Dia
He = Dia

We = Kami / Kita

"The differences between those words are the one is exclusive (Kami) and the other is inclusive (Kita)."

Example:
- Kami tidak suka itu! = We don't like it! <em>(let say, my wife and I are talking to our kids)</em>
- Kita harus lebih baik lagi! = We have to make it better next time! <em>(let say, you're a boss and encouraging your team)</em>

They = Mereka
