Vocabulary Review Here are some of the frequent words used in this lesson that have appeared in previous les- sons. Make sure that you remember their meanings. memakai to use, wear menunggu to wait membantu to assist merusak to damage, destroy memelihara to take care of menolong to help mengajar to teach ujian examination menjadi to be, to become Rambu di Jalan Raya Bahasa An Overview of Indonesian Verbs Probably no feature of Indonesian is more difficult for foreign learners than verbs, so at this point we are going to pause to take stock of what has already been presented on verbs, and we will add more information about them. The discussion that follows is a little technical in places, but don’t worry if you don’t take it all in at first reading. It is given here more for the sake of completeness than because it is absolutely essential for mastering the language. After all, there are well over 200 million Indonesians who speak their lan- guage perfectly, mostly without any self-aware knowledge of its grammar, and in theory you can too. Nevertheless, many students of Indonesian do find that an understanding of the grammatical system can sometimes help improve fluency, correctness and expressiveness. But knowledge of the grammatical system of a language can only complement and never substitute for accurate im- itation of models and memorable repetition as tools for the attainment of practical correctness and fluency. You have already noticed that words in Indonesian are either single, indivisible forms (single morphemes or free morphemes) that stand on their own and don’t change their form, or they are “divisible” and can be broken up into a base word and one or more affixes (multiple morphemes). Lesson 60 Some examples of the former category — the “nude” words of Indonesian — are: mau, makan, rumah, kuning, pandai, telepon, mobil, pensil, komputer Examples of the latter category — the “clothed” words of Indonesian — are: berjalan, makanan, buah-buahan, membaca, perpustakaan, menarik The words above belong to various parts of speech: nouns, verbs and adjectives. In this lesson we are looking for the moment at verbs only. So far you have met three kinds of verb: 1. Helper verbs or auxiliary verbs These are verbs that sometimes occur on their own, but more usually occur immediately in front of another verb. They function to give an extra dimension of meaning to the second verb, es- pecially by showing some aspect of how the doer of the action does the action or relates to the action expressed in the second verb. Examples of helper verbs are: dapat, suka, boleh, bisa, mau, mulai, ingin, harus, ikut, pandai Helper verbs have only one form, and they never change form. So they are “nude” words, or single indivisible morphemes. Study these examples. The helper verbs are in italics. Kami suka makan di Rumah Makan Kartika. We like eating at the Kartika Restaurant. Apakah Ibu Prawoto ikut makan nanti malam? Is Mrs Prawoto going to join us for dinner tonight? Maaf, saya kurang pandai menulis dalam bahasa Cina. Sorry, I’m not really very good at writing in Chinese. Mereka tidak dapat datang. They can’t come. Biasanya mahasiswa tidak mau masuk kuliah pada malam hari. Students don’t usually want to follow lectures at night. Saya sudah mulai belajar Ilmu Kimia. I have begun to study Chemistry. 2. Intransitive verbs. I suppose you could say that an intransitive verb is one that “looks back” in the sense that it relates back to the doer of the action and not to anyone or anything else. In other words it signi- fies an action that is done by someone or something, but it is not done to anyone or anything. An example of an intransitive verb in English is the verb “to die”. You can say: “She died.” But you cannot say: *“She died her husband.” Intransitive verbs take several forms in Indonesian. Some are single morphemes, others have prefixes. Some examples of single-morpheme intransitive verbs are: Lesson 60 setuju, mandi, tidur, bangun, pergi, datang, terbang, masuk, duduk, kawin Other intransitive verbs consist of a base word plus an affix. The most common affix on in- transitive verbs is the prefix ber-, in fact most (but not all) words that have a ber- prefix on them are intransitive verbs. berjalan, berhenti, beristirahat, berubah, berlibur, bermain, berbicara A complicating factor here is that sometimes the ber- prefix is dropped, especially if you are speaking rapidly or informally. Compare these pairs of sentences. Each pair has basically the same meaning and both sentences are 100% correct, but the first is formal and the second in- formal. Saya ingin berjalan kaki saja. Aku kepengin jalan kaki aja. I’d prefer to just walk. Sesudah beristirahat dia mandi Sesudah istirahat dia mandi. After taking a rest she had a bath. Pada hari Sabtu pagi biasanya saya bermain golf. Sabtu pagi biasanya aku main golf. I usually play golf on Saturday mornings. There are also some intransitive verbs that have a me- prefix. You have already met one or two of them. Apakah Anda pandai menyanyi? Di mana Anda mengajar? Are you any good at singing? Where do you teach? Katanya mereka akan menikah. I’ve heard they’re going to get married. Gunung Merapi meletus kemarin. Mount Merapi erupted yesterday. Lesson 60 3. Transitive verbs If an intransitive verb is one that “looks back”, a transitive verb is one that “looks forward” in the sense that it signifies an action that is done to someone or something. You have seen that the English verb “to die” is intransitive. An example of a transitive verb in English is “to fell”. In English you can say: “She felled the tree.” But unlike “She died” we cannot say: *“She felled.” Actually, verbs like “to fell” are a bit of a rarity in English. As you can see, it cannot be intransit- ive.

    Man In India, 97 (24-II) : 55-67 © Serials Publications LITTLE BROTHER-BIG BROTHER RELATIONSHIP THROUGH MALAYSIA-INDONESIA SOSEK-MALINDO INITIATIVES: A CASE STUDY OF ENTIKONG-TEBEDU BORDER *Abdul Rahim, A., *Mohammad, S. A., *Mohd Kamarulnizam, A. and *Abubakar, E.H. Cross-border trade between two neighbouring countries reflects socioeconomic ties between border communities. As such, this paper examines the socio-economic development of communities at the border of Entikong (Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia) and Tebedu (Sarawak, Malaysia). Development undertaken by the respective governments, through the Sosek-Malindo platform, reflects to a certain extent, the concept of a Little Brother-Big Brother relationship, in which each intends to provide assistance through development projects that benefit both communities through employment creation and income generation. This can improve their socio-economic level that has been trapped in poverty and underdevelopment. Keywords: Cross border development; Tebedu, Entikong; Sosek Malindo; little brother-big brother I. INTRODUCTION Bilateral relations between two countries can take a win-win situation or a zero sum game in their effort to resolve conflicts. Malaysia-Indonesia bilateral relations often lead to win-win solutions because each believes the cost of conflict would be high due to economic interdependence on each other. In the context of this archipelagic relation, it may reflect the little brother-big brother (LB-BB) relationship since both countries derived from the same family lineage and share the same religion, Malay and Islam respectively. Indonesia is considered as the big brother from the Malaysian perspective since Indonesia achieved independence earlier, has extensive experience in overcoming colonialism, has a widely multicultural heritage, and it is a large country, in terms of geography and population (Kunaseelan, 1996).

    Country Briefing Indonesia INDONESIA Revised July 2009 Table of Contents Geography Political Background Economy Society & Culture Communication Transportation Health Safety & Security Food & Drink Useful Websites Geography Time - Indonesia is +7/8/9 hours GMT based in West/Central/East location. Indonesia is the 16th largest country in the world measured by land area, which measures 1,919,440 square kilometers (741,050 square miles). Indonesia lies between mainland Southeast Asia and Australia in the Indian and Pacific Oceans and is the world’s largest archipelago state. The Indonesian Archipelago consists of about 17,508 islands, of which 6,000 are inhabited. However, the country is comprised of five main islands – Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, Kalimantan (part of the island of Borneo) and Irian Jaya (the western half of New Guinea) in addition to 30 smaller archipelagos. As a result, the landscape varies from island to island, ranging from high mountains and plateaus to coastal lowlands and alluvial belts. Indonesia shares land borders with Malaysia on the islands of Borneo and Sebatik, Papua New Guinea on the island of New Guinea, and Timor-Leste on the island of Timor. Indonesia also shares borders with Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines to the north and Australia to the south across narrow straits of water. The capital, Jakarta, is on Java and is the nation's largest city, followed by Surabaya, Bandung, Medan, and Semarang. The country’s proximity to the equator results in a tropical monsoon climate, with a wet and dry season. The eastern monsoon brings the dry weather from June to September, while the western monsoon causes heavy rainfall from December through March.

The External Problems in Gamelan Indonesia national culture consists of liberal philosophy values in Indonesian society and culture that comes from outside and had already absorbed and adapted to the nation's culture. The existence of various Indonesian cultures from language, food, dance, music and several other arts can attract the attention of other countries to know more about the features and uniqueness of Indonesian culture. Some of Indonesia's heritage cultures are wayang, Saman dance, Reog Ponorogo, Kuda Lumping, Pendet dance, keris, plate dance, angklung, Kecak dance, gamelan and many more. Gamelan has several features such as the audio aspects include sound wave, tone color, interval, and scale system. Besides that, the elements also found in the visual elements include construction, ornament, shape, and beauty of materials used. Both characters could drive the international community recognizes that Javanese gamelan is "the most sophisticated music in the world." (Hartono, 2012). Because of this, gamelan often claimed by another country such as Malaysia. As a neighbor with a similar clump with Indonesia, there is no doubt that there will be cultural acculturation between Indonesian and Malaysian. However, it is not about a policy about the acculturation of both countries. However, it is about the recognition of Indonesian culture by Malaysian which then could lead to a fight or feud of both nations (Baswedan, Srihadi, Yusuf, Koban, & AR, 2010, p. 4).

It is specifically focused on investigating three things: the tendency of ar- rangers’ names, the title of the origin of folk songs performed in the competitions, the characteristic of the arrangement, and the relationship between the arrangers and the national choir competitions committee. The reason for choosing the topic is that such a folk song arrangement is one of the key factors in conducting a choir competition, folklore category. As for the research method, it is more on music behavior in a relational territory. Therefore, it used a document study and qualitative research design.

The findings revealed that the most frequently used arrangement was Ken Steven’s “Cikala Le Pong Pong.” The most popular arranger was Budi Susanto Yohanes, and Java and Madura were the two origins from which most of the folk songs were performed in choir competitions. The characteristic of the most popular one is its unique arrangement in the form of vibrant music rhythm and body percussion.
