Conversation: The Tourist

Mutiara and I were supposed to work on this during the tutorial with Cikgu Azam today, and here’s what we’ve got so far…

 

 

(A = the Tourist; B = the local)

 

A: Selamat Pagi! Maafkan saya, awak orang Singapurakah?

A: Good morning! Excuse me, are you Singaporean?

B: Selamat Pagi! Ya, saya orang Singapura. Ada apa?

B: Good morning! Yes, I am a Singaporean. What’s the matter?

A: Awak tahukah di mana pejabat poskah?

A: Do you know where the post office is?

B: Pejabat pos di sana. Tapi pejabat pos tidak buka sekarang.

B: The post office is over there. But the post office is not open now.

A:  Pukul berapakah pejabat pos buka?

A: What time does the post office open?

B: Pejabat pos buka pada pukul sepuluh pagi.

B: The post office opens at 10am.

A:  Oh, terima kasih!

A: Oh, thank you!

B: Sama-sama. Selamat tinggal.

B: You’re welcome. Goodbye.

A:  Selamat jalan.

A: Farewell.
