How are you? Sapunapi gatrane
Yes please Nggih. Matur suksema
No thankyou Matur suksema. Titiang seng kayun
Good thanks Becik-becik, matur suksema
No worries Tan dados repot-repot
Your crazy Raga banyol gati
Your a champ Raga becik gati
Please note.
My studies, such as they are, concentrate on Basa Madia, the Middle or respect Language, which doesn't hopefully, offend higher or lower caste.
‘A' at the end of a word becomes ‘oe'.
‘E' can be very soft, hard or even sounding like ‘u' EG Good Evening =Rahajeng Peteng and the Peteng sounds more like P't'ng. Night = Wengi and sounds as Wungi.
Repot sounds as Ray-pote.
A natural Balinese speaker can give you better info'.
