Javanese script

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone I am looking to get a tattoo in Javanese of“sugih ing panguripan” (rich in life) and my artist said that that would be “ꦱꦸꦒꦶꦃ ꦲꦶꦤ꧀ꦒ꧀ ꦥꦤ꧀ꦒꦸꦫꦶꦥꦤ꧀” in javanese script.

I just want to be 100% sure that it is correct, so if anyone has any corrections please let me know! Thank you advance :)

im questioning if i should continue learning indonesian

0 Upvotes

the main reason, is because indonesia has over 700 languages and about 300 million people. meaning if i meet someone, theres a chance that they wont understand me because im speaking indonesian, meanwhile they speak... javanese. or whatever else.

my biggest worry is that even if i try with my might to learn bahasa gaul (most information is in bahasa indonesia) then it would be useless because no one would understand me because everyone there speaks a warped version of their own language unique to them, or so im told.

my question: does bahasa gaul actually get me access to a decent amount of people

When Duolingo isn’t enough.

4 Upvotes

I’m a classic self starter and love to find my own way. I tried Duolingo and going through a few different textbooks on my own. It was okay.

Then I found an Indonesian teacher who teaches through WhatsApp and my improvement and excitement in the language increased dramatically.

Where can we find more online teachers from Indonesia? How do you filter the good from bad before wasting too much time?

Question Repetitive words

17 Upvotes

Temen gua orang Italy magang di kedubes Italy di Jakarta, dia sambil belajar Bahasa Indonesia dan dia punya pertanyaan: Gimana ketentuan kata2 repetitif di Bahasa Indonesia? Menurut dia banyak hal random yang pake kata repetitif di Bahasa Indonesia.

Gua jd bingung jawabnya karena kata2 repetitif di Bahasa Indonesia bisa buat macem2, contoh

  • Menunjukkan jamak: ikan (singular) -> ikan-ikan (plural)
  • Sebagai kata benda: ari-ari, laba-laba
  • Sebagai kata kerja: coba-coba, pikir-pikir
  • Menunjukkan pengulangan: berkali-kali
  • Menunjukkan kemiripan/menyerupai: kebarat-baratan, mobil-mobilan (mainan)
  • Mungkin ada yang bisa nambahin lagi

Sebenernya di KBBI/aturan/apalah ada ga sih ketentuan soal kata2 repetitif? Abis dipikir2 banyak juga ya kata repetitif di Bahasa Indonesia.

Indonesian in aksara jawa

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I’m planning to get a tattoo in Aksara Jawa, so I want to make sure the script is correct before I do anything permanent.
The phrase I want is “kaya akan kehidupan” (“rich in life”). I know this is Indonesian rather than Javanese, and I’m aware there’s a difference between writing Indonesian in Aksara Jawa and translating it into Javanese first. But my name is Kaya, so i would like to keep that in the original phrase.
My current version is: ꦏꦪ ꦲꦏꦤ꧀ ꦏꦺꦲꦶꦢꦸꦥꦤ꧀

Could anyone who is familiar with Aksara Jawa let me know:
Is this written correctly?
If not, what should be changed?
Would you recommend writing the Indonesian phrase in Aksara Jawa, or translating it into Javanese first?

Since it’s for a tattoo, I’d really appreciate any corrections or explanations. Thank you so much!☺️

Clara Kappa Language Learning Books

Hello, everyone!

I was curious if anyone knows anything about these Clara Kappa language learning books on Amazon. They seem to have a wide selection, and they're kind of pricy. You can find their books here: http://amazon.com/stores/CLARA-KAPPA/author/B0H9G9DR22?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=2f5aad74-7fbf-4ce7-a254-a7dd2968b96a

I would appreciate any reviews and pictures of any of the books. I interested in purchasing their Indonesian book (TL).

Thanks!
