Problems
However hard we try, we can not speak a foreign over night. Native speakers may not understand our pronunciation. We may use wrong terms. Yet, we need to explain or ask something and we are desperate to be understood.
Do you speak English? = Koe bisa basa Inggris?
Is there anyone here who speaks English? = Apa nang kene sing bisa basa Inggris?
Do you understand? = Apa koe ngerti?
I don't understand! = Aku ora reti
Yes, I understood! = Ya, Aku/Enyong ngerti
Please speak slowly = Ngapurani, ngomongé sing lindik.
Pardon (don't get it) = Kepriwe?
Please repeat it = Nyuwun sewu ulangi maning
Wait, I will look it up = Enteni, Enyong rep ndeleng buku gipi.
Please find someone who understands English = Ngapurani, goletna wong sing bisa ngomong basa Inggris
Please call police = Tulung celukna polisi
Please call a doctor = Tulung celukna dokter
Could you help me please = Ngapurani, bisa tolong/bantu Enyong?
