"Saya tidak memerlukan respek Anda."

Translation: I do not need your respect.

How do I say "I don't need to respect you."?

[jmaddz]

In this case, the active verb would be "respek" not "perlu."

So, "I don'tneed to respect you" would be something like "Saya tidak perlu merespekkan anda." However, I dont think "respek" would be conjugated this way, it sounds weird. But you get the idea.

Thanks:)

Ya I thought that was what it meant.

I would say "saya tidak perlu respek Anda" is this wrong or just informal. When should I use "memerlukan" and when "perlu".

[jmaddz]

Yeah it gets weird because "respek" is an abnormal verb, a transliteration of the English word. So its functions become a bit muddy. I would prefer they had introduced the verb "hormat" instead.

I suspect this would be an incredibly insulting thing to say to someone, especially in Jawa.
