does means language...correct ! Go to the top of the class.
My apologies, I tend to write too colloquially on here in regards to the Indonesian language.
A colloquial term for 'Bahasa Indonesia' for intensive speakers of the language is " Bahasa". The word 'Indonesia' is often dropped.
Sorry to confuse you.
You will find that 'spoken' Indonesian often differs greatly to what is written in tourist and phrase books. I found this out a long time ago!
I will try to keep it simpler for you in the future my rooted friend. :)
(As far as Dennis goes, he has had trouble with the English language too in the past... LOL!)
