Lesson 3 Expressing Yourself
Indonesian Ya (or Iya) Tidak Mungkin Lain Kali Lain Kali Yes No Possibly/Maybe Other An Occasion or Moment in Time Another Time English

In English, we have a blanket statement No. However, in Indonesian, there are multiple forms of No: Tidak and Bukan. Bukan is used to negate nouns or attributes of nouns. Tidak should be used to negate verbs and adjectives. Below are some examples that show when to use Tidak and when to use Bukan. Anda bisa bicara bahasa Inggris? = Can you speak English? Tidak = No. (I can not speak English). Anda orang Amerika? = Are you an American? Bukan = No. (I am not an American).
* Tidak vs. Bukan can be confusing! You are always welcome to discuss difcult topics on our forums at www.LearningIndonesian.com/community.
