Can somebody explain what "pun" means and how to use it in a sentence? I see it everywhere, even in a song when the singer says ""awanpun". What does a cloud have to do with "pun"?
Terima kasih!
Ferra, thank you again. I'm working on the 4th and 5th cases. Those are the hard ones. From 1 to 3 I totally understood, and I'm even myself building examples (That's the way I learn languages, especially bahasa Indonesia, repeating over and over and building new phrases... Sometimes I even start thinking in Indonesian... lol!). When I start to understand "pun" of cases 4 and 5, I'll be back and ask you to correct me, dong? Terima kasih!
Lea: Yes, I got those! "Juga" dan "meski". Lebih mudah! It doesn't mean they didn't give me trouble... But that's part of learning, nobody said it was going to be easy! lol! Thank you!
Nilton... Got it! It's hard, though... "pun" has many different meanings, and not being able to actually practice on site, that is, Indonesia, makes it even harder. I'm stubborn, though, and eventually will get there. Thank you, obrigado, terima kasih!
I understand. Sometimes it can get complicated when it comes to conjugation. I think you are doing a good job. I am trying to explain more the use of "pun" in sentences which I hope could make more sense to you. I'd be happy to try some other ways if these aren't clear enough.
Mempunyai arti juga (no.1): "Jika Anda tidak hadir, saya pun tidak hadir." "Jika kita rajin bekerja, penghasilan pun bertambah"
No.2 mempunyai arti meski, biar, kendati (even though, though, although). "Jauh pun tetap didatanginya juga" "Tinggi pun tetap digapainya"
No.3 mempunyai arti saja. I honestly find it hard to be explained. I'm sorry.
No.4 is used when we talk about something that is started to happen. For example in the words "hari pun malamlah" which means the day gets darker (the night is here). The sentence is normally used in a story. Very formal.
"Sepeser pun saya tidak pernah menerima uang dari dia."
Terima kasih, Fanny! Tetapi ada artinya lain yang aku belum mengerti. Mudah-mudahan aku akan tahu nanti belajar. Semua teman disini sudah coba bantuan aku disini... Kamu kenal Laug yang lama, Hasrat Cinta, oleh Yanna Julio? Lyricsnya punya kata "awanpun" yang aku cari di kamus, tetapi tidak ada disana...
1. juga atau demikian juga ( too or also) for example : Jika Anda Pergi, saya pun hendak pergi (if you are going, then i will be going too
2. meski, biar, kendati: (eventho ) for example mahal pun dibelinya juga ( eventho that is expensive he still buy it )
