"Kamu berubah."

Translation: You changed.

Why does the audio sound like 'b' is silent and she's saying 'rubah'?

All other 'ber' words seem to have the 'ber' sound clearly emphasized except this one.

[Tomasz517261]

I agree. It sounds exceptionally silent.

[DarkHylian]

I noticed that in many "obvious" cases, the vowels can be mute indonesian.

Many times i heard my indonesian girlfriend talking with her friends, and instead of "terima kasih" she says "t'rima kasih".

Maybe only the first vowel can be muted ?

[ReidNutter]

Don't we all?

[MiguelLuca15]

And why past only... Nothing show that it is in the past... So you change may be accepted also!

[AbdullahAAK]

Just how important is it in everyday casual Indonesian to pronouncing the final h?if I say beruba will people understand me or not?

[JamesNorel]

You've changed...

[GordonDrum1]

I nothing this. There appears to be no difference to present tense and past tense.

[asdfghjkl.exe]

yes

What's the difference between berubah and mengganti?

[tthatchbass]

Mengganti is more like 'replace', e.g. "Saya harus mengganti celana saya" - I need to change (replace) my pants.

Berubah focuses on thhe subject. Kamu berubah - You (subject) changed/transformed.

Mengubah - similar to berubah but instead of focusing on subject, focuses on object --- Saya mau mengubah kebisaan saya - I want to change my habits.

Again:

Mereka berubah karena ketiak menjadi takut - They (focus on subject) changed because there became scared.

Kami mau mengubah musik itu di sini - We want to change the music (focus on object) here.

Aku mau mengganti makanan ini dengan makanan yang lebih enak - I want to change (replace) this food with food that is more delicious.

Hope that helps

I missed something. Since "rubah" and "berubah" both mean "to change" what is the purpose of adding "ber" to "rubah"? Same for the "Mem" verbs.
