Lesson 33 Sangat (Very)
CONGRATULATIONS! BRAVO! FELICITATIONS! SYABAS! Without fanfare but with dogged determination you have already completed half of the course and you are now embarking upon the second half. I know what it means to struggle through a language course on one's own so please allow me to take my hat off to you on your remarkable achievement. - PJG

A second reading (by Muhammad Nor Ismat, a native speaker)
|
Ini sangat mahal! Dia sangat marah.  Saya sangat lapar. Ini sangat mustahak. |
This is very expensive! He is very angry. I am very hungry. This is very important. |
mahal = expensive murah = cheap marah = angry lapar = hungry mustahak = important |
More examples:
Dia sangat pandai (He is very clever)
Kopi ini sangat panas (This coffee is very hot)
Note the difference between the former sentence and this: Kopi ini terlalu panas (This coffee is too hot)
There is another word for "very" though it is a little bit more formal than sangat. The word is amat eg. Barang ini amat mahal (This item is very expensive) or Dia amat pandai. (He is very intelligent.)
And what is another word for barang, do you remember? It also starts with the letter "b" (you can find it in Lesson 19).
