"Seseorang yang baik."

Translation: Someone good.

[Rick392366]

Seseorang yang baik.
Meaning: Someone good.

A good person = should be accepted as well I think.

'Someone good' , is that something you would say in English?
It sounds strange to me.

Two years have passed since @Rick392366's comment, but the default English translation remains the same as of Feb 2021... "Someone good" sounds like an awkward machine translation. I usually prefer word-for-word translations if they are necessary for a learning purpose. And I validate the quality of translation as a pair of sentences in English and Indonesian. From "a good person", I can translation as "seseorang yang baik", but from "someone good", I can't.

[Jake929031]

A good person would be, Seorang baik. Not sure why the use of yang.

[YdWin]

Because baik is the adjective of "orang"(person/people). Without "yang", seorang should be followed by a noun

[Jake929031]

Bagus is more good and baik nice

[Ms.Fixer]

No. The difference between "bagus" and "baik" is not the degree of goodness.

• Baik for: Human beings or animals' inner quality; or Situations & relationships

• Bagus for: The quality of inanimate objects or intangible things
