Handy expression<br />

To say 'to kill two birds with one stone' (to do two things<br />

simultaneously) in Indonesian, we would say sambil menyelam<br />

minum air, which literally means 'while swimming underwater,<br />

drink the water'. This expression can also be used to mean 'to take<br />

advantage of something else at the same time of doing something'.<br />

alia<br />

Sedangkan means 'while' or 'whereas, where in fact'. We can use it to<br />

contrast two things, such as people, likes and dislikes or qualities.<br />

Jalan Mawar lebar and bagus, sedangkan jalan Kenanga sempit dan<br />

kotor.<br />

Mawar street is wide and neat, while Kenanga Street is narrow and dirty.<br />
