Physical activity. Lucas: In previous episodes, we learned verbs like 'masak' to cook and 'menari' to dance. Luna: Right. And now we are going to learn three more important action verbs. Lucas: The first verb is 'berlari'. This means 'to run'. Luna: 'Berlari'. Okay. Let me try. Berlari. Lucas: Perfect. 'Berlari'. That is correct. Luna: So if I say 'Saya suka berlari', it means 'I like to run'? Lucas: Exactly. 'Saya suka berlari'. You like to run. Luna: Oh that is so good. I love that phrase. Saya suka berlari. Lucas: Let us repeat it together. 'Saya suka berlari'. Luna: Saya suka berlari. Lucas: Great. Now let us look at the second verb. 'Melompat'. This means 'to jump'. Luna: 'Melompat'. Melompat. Lucas: Yes. 'Melompat'. Think of jumping up and down. Luna: Okay. So 'Jangan melompat di sini' would mean 'Do not jump here'? Lucas: Spot on. 'Jangan' means 'do not'. So 'Jangan melompat di sini'. Luna: Jangan melompat di sini. Lucas: Very clear. Imagine a sign in a library. 'Jangan melompat di sini'. Luna: Oh my gosh. That is funny. Jangan melompat di sini. Lucas: Let us say it again. 'Jangan melompat di sini'. Luna: Jangan melompat di sini. Lucas: Excellent. Now for the third and final verb today. 'Berenang'. This means 'to swim'. Luna: 'Berenang'. Berenang. Lucas: Yes. 'Berenang'. Like swimming in a pool or in the sea. Luna: Okay. So 'Dia pandai berenang' means 'He/She is good at swimming'? Lucas: Exactly. 'Pandai' means 'skilled' or 'good at'. So 'Dia pandai berenang'. Luna: Dia pandai berenang. Lucas: That is perfect pronunciation. 'Dia pandai berenang'. Luna: Aww. I feel like I can swim now. Dia pandai berenang. Lucas: Let us practice all three phrases together. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: First one. 'Saya suka berlari'. Luna: Saya suka berlari. Lucas: Second one. 'Jangan melompat di sini'.

'Saya suka berlari', 'Jangan melompat di sini', and 'Dia pandai berenang'. Lucas: Let us put them into a small scene. Imagine we are at a park. Luna: Okay. I see children playing.

Luna: Really? I think I got it. Saya suka berlari. Lucas: Yes. Remember the first phrase. Saya suka berlari. Luna: Saya suka berlari. I like to run. Lucas: And the second one? The warning. Luna: Jangan melompat di sini. Do not jump here. Lucas: Correct. And the third one? Describing skill. Luna: Dia pandai berenang. He or she is good at swimming. Lucas: Fantastic. Try saying them slowly one more time. Luna: Okay. Saya suka berlari. Jangan melompat di sini. Dia pandai berenang. Lucas: There you go. You sounded natural. Really good job. Luna: Thanks Lucas.
