"Namun saya tidak tahu."

Translation: However I do not know.

[lili114354]

not sure why 'however i don't know' isn't an accepted translation here?

[anph89]

How about "However I am not tofu"?

[DennisAndreas]

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.

[ElvinTjia]

This is true. Tahu means to know in Indonesia provided that the h is silent.

[Suerte201011]

Im always mistaken for tofu, this is going to be so useful!

[FelixBinns]

I wrote I do not like tofu. But i was tired and not paying much attention.

[troth93]

However instead of but should be correct.

[Lisa-Lisa-Lisa]

my son in law is Indonesian and is my tutor

[Lisa-Lisa-Lisa]

[win.metacutie]

Difference between namun and tapi?

[RobertStitson]

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.'

[boringtomi]

Yeah but they don't accept "however"

[AbdullahAAK]

Is it tahu with silent or non silent h?

[DennisAndreas]

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.

[Adam117151]

Tahu = tofu does it not?

[DennisAndreas]

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.

[Ren137590]

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.

[Origin5world5_]

I do not hear them pronounce the 'k' in 'tidak', should it be pronounced or not?

[Lisa-Lisa-Lisa]

please fix don't
