Sedang[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä]

The present tense "sedang" is used to describe an action that is currently happening. Here is an example:

Indonesian Pronunciation Finnish
Saya sedang makan. 'saya sədaŋ 'makan Olen syömässä.

As you can see, "sedang" is placed after the subject and before the verb. In this case, the verb is "makan" which means "to eat".

Here are some other examples using "sedang":

  • Saya sedang bekerja. (I am working.)
  • Dia sedang belajar bahasa Indonesia. (He/She is learning Indonesian.)
  • Kami sedang menonton TV. (We are watching TV.)

Lagi[muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä]

The present tense "lagi" is similar to "sedang" in that it also describes an action that is currently happening. However, "lagi" can also be used to express the idea of "again" or "more".

Here is an example of "lagi" used to describe an action:

Indonesian Pronunciation Finnish
Saya lagi makan. 'saya 'lagi 'makan Syön juuri nyt.

And here is an example of "lagi" used to express the idea of "more":

Indonesian Pronunciation Finnish
Saya mau lagi. 'saya 'mau 'lagi Haluan lisää.

As with "sedang", "lagi" is placed after the subject and before the verb.

Here are some other examples using "lagi":

  • Dia lagi nonton film. (He/She is watching a movie.)
