Cultural Notes Indonesia has two education systems. The general education system prepares students to go to college. The students whose parents can afford to send their children to college typically attend these schools. The vocational school system trains students in various skills, which enables them to enter the work force upon completion. There are many reasons why one takes the vocational tract; however, financial considerations often play a part in the decision. There are four levels of education: 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.)
Elementary School, Sekolah dasar (SD), grades K-6 Middle School, Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP), grades 7-9 High School, Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA), grades 10-12 College or University, Sekolah Tinggi (ST)

These schools offer various college degrees. The length of time to complete a degree depends on the degree requirements. Note: Students must pass school and state exams in order to go on to a secondary school and to a university. 1st Grade 2nd –6th Grade
Kelas 1 SD Kelas 2-6 SD
7th Grade 8th-9th Grade
Kelas 1 SMP Kelas 2 SMP

Grammar Notes What grade are you in? I am in the third grade. She is in the seventh grade. He is an elementary school teacher.
Anda duduk di kelas berapa? Saya duduk di kelas 3 SD Dia duduk di kelas 2 SMP Dia adalah guru SD.
The “to be” verb adalah is rarely used when speaking. Adalah is never used for adjectives.
201
Notice the use of the preposition di (in, or, on, or at). Dia duduk di kelas 1. Dia guru di sekolah itu.
She is in the first grade. She is the teacher at that school.
Apa, which literally means “what,” is used in sentences that ask questions. However, when it is used in an interrogative, it takes on the meaning of a question marker rather than a word. Apa dia mengajar di Sebuah College? Apa anda suka membaca di rumah?
Does he teach in a college? Do you like to read at home?
Apa is also used as a noun modifier to ask “what kind” or “what sort.” When used in this way, it also acts as a question marker, but it is placed behind the noun and at the end of the sentence. Ini buku apa? Anda sedang membaca buku apa? Dia orang apa?
What kind of book is this? What book are you reading? What nationality is he?
The preposition pada (in, on, or at) is used when the subject is time related. Pada jam 4:00 sore Pada tanggal 2 Juni
At 4 o’clock in the afternoon On the second of June
Affixes: Circumfixes: ke + verb or adjective + an produces a noun Suka (to like) becomes kesukaan (the favorite). pel/ pe/ per + verb + an produces a noun Ajar (to teach or to study) becomes pelajaran (the lesson). Tanya (to ask) becomes pertanyaan (the question). Prefixes: ter + adjective indicates a superlative Malas (lazy) becomes termalas (the laziest). Dia siswa termalas di kelas ini. (He is the laziest student in this class.) Baik (good) becomes terbaik (the best). Melody siswa terbaik di kelasnya. (Melody is the best student in her class.) Adjectives: Noun modifiers, such as adjectives and possessives, always follow the word they modify. The relative pronoun yang (the one, whose, or which) sometimes intervenes. Melody seorang siswa yang pandai. Dia seorang guru yang baru.
202
Melody is a smart student. She is a new teacher.
Kelas baru Siswa malas Siswa yang malas
New class Lazy student The student who is lazy
Negatives: Bukan (no or not) is used to negate nouns and pronouns. Saya bukan siswa, tetapi guru. I am not a student but a teacher. Tidak (no or not) is used to negate verbs and adjectives. Dia tidak pergi ke sekolah itu. He does not go to that school. Murid-murid itu tidak malas. Those students are not lazy. Moyo siswa tidak baik. Moyo is not a good student.
