Bahasa Indonesia Video Lesson: Singular and Plural
Yeah, Bahasa Indonesia has singular and plural theory too, but dont worry. Its not complex because in this video. I show you two example of Singular and Plural in Bahasa Indonesia.
In Indonesian, there is an auxiliary in singular noun. For example: Seorang, Seekor, Sebuah, etc.
Seorang is used in peoples: for example: Seorang murid, seorang guru, seorang turis, etc.
Seekor is used in animals: for example: Seekor kucing, Seekor Anjing, Seekor binatang. Etc.
Sebuah is used in things or stuffs: for example: Sebuah buku, Sebuah Pensil. Etc.
And there are many other auxiliaries, such as “ sebiji, sepotong, selembar, etc.”
But, just take it easy, usually, seorang, seekor, and sebuah is commonly used in many words.
And, what about Plural? In Indonesian, there are two ways to make a singular tobe a plural:
1. Adding “beberapa”
For example: beberapa murid, beberapa kucing, beberapa buku
2. Repeating the word:
For example: Murid-murid, kucing-kucing, buku-buku.
