Yes , I get many things back to front , so is it sedikit blog or blog sedikit ?

By blog you mean bodoh? (stupid) it's sedikit bodoh, the order is just like english when its not an object (sedikit gila=little crazy, sedikit nakal=little naughty etc)

But yeah i think bodoh sounds a bit harsh, it's a word im careful in using even around friends, even more so goblok, which is kind of a harsher rough slang type word for stupid.

If I get something wrong in bahasa Indonesia, i just say "sorry ya, saya tidak professional " (I think professional is same just different spelling) "masih belajar" still learning ya.

Im not sure if thats what Indonesian's would say, but i kinda just like to use phrases that are a bit playful, as Indonesians love that playful joking type thing.

BTW. I think blog in Bahasa Indonesia is same as blog in english like a online journal thing

Typo?

Yes correct indo blog is Balinese for stupid or unlucky depending on how you’re using it in a sentence. . Part of my stupidity is along time ago the family I was knocking around with tried teaching me Bahasa Indonesia, Balinese and village talk which succeeded in confusing the fuck out of me . I would sometimes try and say a sentence with 3 different languages in it and get some very odd looks from Indonesian’s that weren’t Balinese . I should speak way better than I do and now have trouble retaining a lot what I did learn . Not a good sign with both parents having had dementia . I’m thinking an opinion den in cambodia as part of my aged care plan .

You’re probably better than most Supa.
I have trouble getting terima kasih to roll off the tongue naturally.

Oh okay, i only know a couple Balinesse words, Sin kin kin, Singla piss, Om Swastiastu, Matur suksma, Bli :D

But i know what you mean when i go stay with my wife's family in Java all they speak is Javanese and it drive's me crazy as i only know about 20 words or so, so I have no idea what they are talking about unless i hear one of those words. (usually a dirty word when my wife and her mum are talking about sex :)

Ive also found when i go stay with my friends in the Telos i understand their Bahasa Indo real easy as its real basic common man lower class words, expression and conversation but if i talk to well off well educated Indonesian's in cities etc even in basic convesation they often use and expressive themselves with all these words i dont know, like they are on an Indonesian version of Dawson's creek.

It is rewarding learning Bahasa Indonesia though.

Big croc got someone in the Telos so police & army shot it.

Warning: footage is pretty graphic in typical Indo style, you see the body (this is what they would have shown on Indo news)

Hectic. Seems they got some degree of closure after the attack, in a way that we aren't allowed to with sharks.

That’s better footage than I saw last week in the western news. Nasty way to go.
They’ve had a few in Lombok last few years. Getting close to Bali.

Wasn’t there one on Kuta beach the last year or two?
