tofu = tahu (where the h in tahu is pronounced)
to know = tahu (where the h in tahu is not really pronounced well)
This is what I learnt from speaking in Indonesia, although I am not too sure because maybe I pronounced it wrong myself all the time and people wouldn't mention it.
you would use 'bukan', not 'tidak', since tofu is a noun and not a verb/adjective.
I wrote I do not like tofu. But i was tired and not paying much attention.
nope it is swallowed or suddenly silenced. like when we say can't and leave the t off the end
my son in law is Indonesian and is my tutor
Kind of like the difference between 'but' and 'however', so more or less interchangeable. Most Indonesians use them with the same meaning. 'Namun' though should only be used at the beginning of a sentence, not in the middle. 'tapi' can also be made more formal as 'tetapi.'
The k in "tidak" is pronounced with the glottal stop. Same goes with berak (to poop), emak (mum/mummy),

This is correct based on my girlfriend (Born and raised in Jakarta). The girls voice that was on this site pronounced it more like to know but the new guy pronounces in more like tofu.
