Lucas: Now imagine you're at the market, and you taste a fruit. You can say Ini manis or Ini masam. Luna: So if I try a papaya, I can say Ini manis. Lucas: Exactly. And if it's a sour mango, Ini masam. Luna: Got it. Can we try a quick dialogue? Lucas: Sure. I'll be the seller. You taste a papaya. Luna: Okay. Ini manis? Lucas: Ya, betik ini manis.
