Maybe Bahasa Indonesia is not a too famous language in the world like any other language. Yet, as a country which has many populations and potential tourism place, I bet some of you have become or will become tourist in Indonesia. For getting along easier with native is easy, just greet them and smile from your heart. But, how to greet in Bahasa Indonesia?
To greet in Bahasa is easy, mostly words we say for greeting is "Selamat" which means "safe". By saying Selamat, you wish them safe undirectly :). These are some greetings which you can use while you are in Indonesia and want to greet natives or just say before your ordering food or check in hotels.
Selamat pagi : Good Morning
Selamat Siang : Good Afternoon
Selamat Sore : Good Evening
Selamat Malam : Good Night
Selamat Tidur : Good Sleep
Selamat Jalan : Have a nice trip
Terima kasih : Thank You
Sama-sama : You are welcome
Yet, if you want to be as informal as native mostly, just cut the word selamat and just say "pagi", or "siang", or "malam", which is enought understandable for us :)
Have a nice try
