We can use mari and ayo for inviting someone to join in an activity
(mengajak). Both are usually placed at the beginning of a sentence and
are very common in spoken Indonesian. The difference between them is
in their degree of formality: mari is more formal than ayo.
Mari kita pulang.
Let's go home. - - -
&Q kifa makan dulu.
Let's eat first.
I
-
&Q jalan-jalan sore ini.
Letf go out this evening.
Ayo is often shortened to yuk and can be placed either at the beginning
of the sentence or right at the end. Yuk is even less formal than ayo
and, because of that, we can use it with friends. For instance, you can
say the following to your close friend, but not to your teacher:
-
Yuk kita ke perpustakaan.
Kita ke perpu-n a.
Let's go to the library.
-
We can also use mari, ayo and yuk to invite someone to our place or
function [mengundang) .
Mari mampir ke rumah.
mampb ke rumah.
Mampir ke rumah mk.
drop by.
If we want to be polite and more formal, we can use silakan ('please')
for mengundang (but not for mengajak). For example, you could say the
following to your'mother's friend who comes to visit.
Silakan masuk, Bu.
Please come in.
Silakan duduk, saya akan panggil ibu saya
Please sit down; I will call my mother.
With your friends, however, you may prefer to use ya or dong alongside
the verb. Your offers would resemble commands when you do this.
Masuk dong, jangan di luar.
Come in; don't stay outside.
Duduk dulu saya ke kamar sebentar.
Have a seat; I have to go to my room for a minute.
Datang ya ke pesta saya.
Datang dona ke pesta saya.
Come to my party.
Use appropriate words for inviting in the following situations. Consider
who you are talking to and choose the most suitable form for each
invitation. The verbs are given in parentheses. (Drop the meN- prefix, if
appropriate.)
