About English Indonesian Dictionary
A comprehensive English-Indonesian and Indonesian-English offline dictionary. Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world, and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is one of the easiest Asian languages for English speakers to learn.
About Indonesian
Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) is spoken by over 270 million people as a national language. It uses the Latin alphabet and has relatively simple grammar compared to other Asian languages, making it accessible for learners.
Who is this app for? Travelers to Indonesia and Bali, Indonesian learners, business professionals, digital nomads.
Probably the easiest major language for an English speaker
Indonesian has a genuine claim to this. It uses the Latin alphabet with essentially phonetic spelling. There are no tones. No grammatical gender. No verb conjugation — verbs do not change for person, number or tense. No noun cases. No articles.
Tense comes from time words: sudah for already, akan for will, sedang for in progress. So "I eat", "I ate" and "I will eat" all use the same verb form with a different marker, which is a far smaller system than a conjugation table.
Plurals by repetition
Indonesian marks plurality, when it needs to at all, by reduplication: buku is a book, buku-buku is books. Often it does not bother, because a number or context makes it obvious — much as English says "three fish" rather than "three fishes".
The genuine work is in the affix system. Roots take prefixes and suffixes that change meaning systematically: from ajar (teach) you get belajar (to study), mengajar (to teach), pelajar (student), pengajar (teacher), pelajaran (lesson). Learning to read the affixes multiplies your vocabulary from a much smaller set of roots.
Indonesian and Malay
Indonesian and Malaysian Malay are closely related standardised varieties of the same language and are largely mutually intelligible, though spelling conventions and a good deal of everyday and technical vocabulary differ. Indonesian draws more loanwords from Dutch, Malay more from English.
Indonesian is the national language of Indonesia and is spoken by well over 200 million people as a first or second language, making it one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Indonesian really easy to learn?
For an English speaker it is among the more approachable major languages. There are no tones, no grammatical gender, no verb conjugation, no cases and no articles, and spelling is essentially phonetic. The real work is the affix system.
How does Indonesian express past and future?
With time words rather than verb changes — sudah for already, akan for will, sedang for in progress. The verb form itself never changes, so there is no conjugation table to learn.
How are plurals formed?
By reduplication when it is needed at all: buku is a book, buku-buku is books. Often the plural is left unmarked because a number or the context already makes it clear.
Can I use this dictionary for Malay?
Partly, since the two are closely related and largely mutually intelligible. Spelling conventions and a fair amount of vocabulary differ, so a dedicated Malay resource is a better fit if Malaysia is your target.
