Description

In English

Speaking Balinese well doesn't always have to use subtle language, depending on who we are talking to. When we talk to people we have to respect or who are older, then we should use gentle language singgih. However, if we only communicate with peers or people we already know, it is enough to use Balinese andap to make our communication easier.

In Balinese

Mabasa bali sane becik boya ja setata ngangge basa bali alus. Nyutetang iraga mabaos ring sapasira. Yening ring meraga sane patut singgihang tur sane meraga lingsir, patut iraga ngangge basa alus singgih. Nanging yening ring timpal utawi anak sane sampun kenal, dados nganggen basa andap mangda aluh mababaosan.

In Indonesian

Berbahasa Bali yang baik tidak selalu harus menggunakan bahasa halus, Tergantung kita berbicara kepada siapa. Apabila kita berbicara kepada orang yg harus kita hormati atau yang lebih tua, maka kita seharusnya menggunakan bahasa halus singgih. Namun, apabila kita hanya berkomunikasi kepada teman sebaya atau orang yg sudah kita kenal, cukup menggunakan bahasa bali andap agar lebih memudahkan komunikasi kita.
