Schedule & Booking

1. Saya mau reservasi untuk dua orang

   I would like to make a reservation for two people

   Usage

   Used to make a reservation at a restaurant or hotel

   Grammar Note

   "Orang" is the counter for people. "Satu orang" (1 person), "tiga orang" (3 people). "Pesan" is another word for reserve/book/order

2. Jam berapa tempat ini buka?

   What time does this place open?

   Usage

   Used to ask what time a shop or facility opens

   Grammar Note

   "Jam berapa" is the standard "what time" question. Opposite of "buka" (open) is "tutup" (closed). "Jam buka" = business hours; "hari libur" = day off/closed

3. Jam berapa tempat ini tutup?

   What time does this place close?

   Usage

   Used to ask what time a shop or facility closes

   Grammar Note

   Business hours vary widely in Indonesia. Urban malls and convenience stores often have long hours, but small shops in rural areas may close early afternoon. "Jam 10 malam" = 10 PM

4. Apakah ada antrean panjang?

   Is there a long queue?

   Usage

   Used to check if there is a long wait at a popular attraction or restaurant

   Grammar Note

   "Antrean" = noun of "antre" (to queue; colloquially also spelled "antrian"). Combine with "Berapa lama menunggu?" (how long to wait?). Pre-booking often avoids queuing entirely

5. Bisa reschedule janji temu?

   Can I reschedule the appointment?

   Usage

   Used to ask for a change to a scheduled appointment

   Grammar Note

   "Janji" (promise/appointment) + "temu" (meeting) = appointment. "Reschedule" is used as a loanword. More formal: "mengubah jadwal" (change the schedule)

6. Berapa lama perjalanannya?

   How long does the journey take?

   Usage

   Used to ask how long a trip or journey will take

   Grammar Note

   "Berapa lama" asks about duration. "Perjalanan" derives from "jalan" (road/walk). Answers: "Dua jam" (2 hours), "tiga puluh menit" (30 minutes)

7. Kapan jadwal berangkat berikutnya?

   When is the next departure schedule?

   Usage

   Used to ask about the next bus, boat, or transport departure

   Grammar Note

   "Berikutnya" = "berikut" (following) + "-nya". In Indonesia, long-distance buses and ferries often run on "jam karet" (rubber time) — schedules are approximate

8. Besok kita bertemu jam berapa?

   What time do we meet tomorrow?

   Usage

   Used to confirm the meeting time for the next day

   Grammar Note

   "Besok" (tomorrow), "hari ini" (today), "kemarin" (yesterday) are essential time expressions. "Bertemu" = "ber-" + "temu" (meet), expressing mutual meeting. "Ketemu" is colloquial

9. Apakah hari Minggu libur?

   Is Sunday a day off?

   Usage

   Used to ask if a place is closed on Sundays

   Grammar Note

   Days: Senin (Mon), Selasa (Tue), Rabu (Wed), Kamis (Thu), Jumat (Fri), Sabtu (Sat), Minggu (Sun). "Libur" = holiday/day off. Some shops close Friday afternoons for Jumat prayers

10. Tolong konfirmasi ulang reservasi saya

    Please reconfirm my reservation

    Usage

    Used to reconfirm a booking before arrival

    Grammar Note

    "Ulang" = again/repeat. Used in "konfirmasi ulang" (reconfirm) and "coba ulang" (retry). In Indonesia, bookings can sometimes be lost, so reconfirmation before arrival is advisable
