"Saya minum susu, dan kamu minum air."

Translation: I drink milk, and you drink water.

Why does this sentence mix formal and formal pronouns? "Saya" is formal and "kamu" is informal.

[demoksaputra]

'Saya' is indeed a formal pronoun, but some people also use it in informal situation.

[VarmaKafo]

What would the informal version of 'saya' be?

[digitalpointer]

aku

[Chronos58]

Its like Tagalog(Philippines), But we say "ako".

Ooohh

@Deinonysus
Because it's still about basics. Keep in mind that Indonesians do not refer to strangers using "you" or in this case "kamu" cause that would be rude. Use honorifics instead.

[Bapak/Ibu] for elders
[Mas/mbak] for non-elders

It may differ for each region but that should suffice if you're only visiting big cities.

Deinonysus, I have the same question. But, I assume that this course is targeted for oral as we see a lot of informal usage combined with formal. In oral, the effectiveness is more important and we don't need to pay attention much on the language structure.

If it is not, the course has some mistakes :((

[mainfaloooo_]

Brooo i had 2 typos and it showed incorrect

[ezupo1]

this language should be the new esperanto. It is easy to understand because its pronunciation is clear as water.

[kenurremot]

Do you need the "and"?

Is "I drink milk, you drink water" also correct?

[JanisLim]

Cause they put the word "dan" in there which means "and". Guess they just want to test that word?

[goleemt]

I got the same thing.

[zahra705773]

Yes this need "and"

[Ailan_Artur]

Me, who knows english, mandarin and portuguese " Skirt drinks milk, but you drink air"

[BabyPuspit1]

'Saya' is a formal word for someone we REALLY respect
So Instead of 'Saya' we say 'Aku'
"Aku minum Susu dan Kamu minum Air"
Simple.
