Lesson 31 • More on Describing People

Adalah

is a simple word that has no real direct translation in English. Its purpose is effectively to

separate the subject from the rest of the sentence. It sometimes seems to take on the role of “to
be” in some sentences, but its real purpose is to act as a connector. If we had

adalah

in English, it

might be used like this:

My mother’s brother is my uncle.

In Indonesian,

Adalah

would be used as a connector for the subject and take the place of “is”.

My mother’s brother adalah [is] my uncle.
