This is not the proper spelling of most words but as phonetic as I can make it. Any errors are my own dumb fault.

[jtl513]

Good morning: Selamat pagi ...

 

Actually Sampai jumpa means ...

The problem is that whenever I try a simple phrase like selamat malam they reply wth a full sentence, and I have to admit that I have no idea what they said or asked! :o:o:D

[Copper10-8]

Trish, you know Bahasa a heck of a lot better than I. What is your understanding of "Sampai bertuma lagi?"

I was told it means something similar to "see you later" or "Goodbye"

Yeah, but they appreciate you trying it!;) Try this one:

"Nama saya John. Saya tidak gila hari ini" - It'll be a hit!

[jtl513]

Yeah, but they appreciate you trying it!;) Try this one:

"Nama saya John. Saya tidak gila hari ini" - It'll be a hit!

Google says the second part is "I'm not mad today". Is that "mad" as in angry, or "mad" as in crazy?

I was told it means something similar to "see you later" or "Goodbye"

The same Google Translate service says this means "Until lousy again?" But then it translates "Until lousy again" back to sampai buruk lagi

On the Oosterdam, Capt. van der Loo said that HAL purposely hires all Indonesians for their wait staff, and Filipino cabin staff. So, maybe you need some Tagalog phrases too...EM

Are you sure you heard that correct?;) You'll find the Indonesians as cabin and restaurant stewards, the Yum Yum guys plus GPA's (General Purpose Attendants). The majority of the Filipinos are bar/wine staff and also some of the asst. chefs in the Lido restaurant and kitchens. The majority of the Front Office/Neptune Lounge staff (mostly female, some male) are Filipino and you're seeing more and more Indonesian girls onboard in the two Tamarind restaurants (Eurodam + Nieuw Amsterdam) and in some of the Pinnacle Grill restaurants. Each ship also has two Indonesian girls who take care of the public restrooms. Most of the sailors of the Deck Dept. (Quartermasters on the bridge, tender drivers, etc.) are Indonesian and then there are, of course, the guys "behind the scenes" i.e. carpenters, laundry, electricians, etc.

Some Tagalog:

Good morning: Magandang Umaga

Good afternoon: Magandang hapon

Good night: Magandang gabi

See you again: Sa ating muling pagkikita

How are you? Kumusta ka?

How are you today? Kumusta ka ngayon?

How are you this morning? Kumusta Umaga?

Thank you: Salamat

Thank you very much: Ma Rame Salamat

You’re welcome: Walang anuman

My name is John: Ang pangalan ko ay John

I am John: Ako si John

Please/could you: Pude Ba

Delicious Masarap

The food is good: Masarap ang pagkain

"I'm not crazy today";)

 

The same Google Translate service says this means "Until lousy again?" But then it translates "Until lousy again" back to sampai buruk lagi

 

Not sure about the last one, still. Google + Bablefish translations are not always "the word of the street" but more formal

[mudscraper]

How does one say: The Wang Wangs are tasty and John is buying?

Kamu gila, mungkin besok, Musdcraper!;)

[mudscraper]

Kamu gila, mungkin besok, Musdcraper!;)

Time out!

Nowhere in the translation do I see the name John, Johan, Giovanni, Ivan or Juan.

 

Your translation may cost me big dough in the Crows Nest.:)

I had to try a number of searches to find this thread.

I was wondering if anyone tries to use some of these phrases when they are on their cruise?

I tried a few of them last year and the crew were quite pleased to hear someone try to speak their language.

[cruising cockroach]

Just remember that the Malay-based Bahasa Indonesia is not natively spoken by most Indonesians. Java, the most populous island, has its own language. Malay is only natively spoken by those in parts of Sumatra where there are some 5 major languages spoken.

[Krazy Kruizers]

Maybe others have tried to use a few words/phrases -- but we have not.

I have noticed that many of those just polishing and doing the odd jobs try to improve their English by speaking English whenever possible. Thus hoping for a better job.
