"Saya seorang ayah."

Translation: I am a father.

[Deinonysus]

Could you also just say "Saya ayah" or is "seorang" required?

[DiegoJaviUnlam]

Hai teman! I think "Saya ayah." can fit perfectly fine in colloquial speech, so it could fit well here also. For example, "seorang" is also not required in Indonesian films, as "Merah Putih" trilogy, set during the Indonesian Independence Revolution, where an Indonesian character (the actor Lukman Sardi) says a Dutch officer (Rudy Wowor), "Saya guru, dia petani!", that can mean "I am a teacher, he is a farmer!", in English.

I hope it helps.

Selamat belajar! :)

what is this seorang exactly?

[LisichkaB]

Seorang is derived from the word orang (person) and means literally "one person". But when this word is put before a noun like in the sentence above, you can interpret it as the article "a".

[BrianViolin]

I am your father Luke...

[INalsGio]

Saya seorang ayahmu, Luke

[BrianViolin]

Sounds like he recorded the sentence just as he turned into a werewolf... I assume we don't usually pronounce 'ayah' with a growl?

[IbnuDaBost014]

Tell that to luke and he won't believe that
