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.
Hey guys,
Wondering what the go-to website is for Indonesian news/updates in English?
I'm mostly interested in Covid and international border related news. What's out there?
