Hello - Salam
Googbye (to those leaving) - Selamat jalan
Googbye (to those staying) - Selamat tinggal
Please - Silakan
Thankyou - Terima Kasih
You're welcome - Kembali
Yes - Ya
No - Tidak
Excuse me - Permisi
Sorry - Maaf
I understand - Saya mengerti
I don't understand - Saya tidak mengerti
Help - Tolong
Where's the toilet? - Di mana kamar kecil?
