Uniques lingo! Normally we use bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian lingo), but in Jakarta, Betawi dialect and bahasa gaul (slank lingo) involved to the standar Indonesian all-together. It makes something new and different in hearing and sometimes the meaning.
Here I enclosed several 'bahasa gaul' which used daily.
I (English): saya (Indonesian) : gue, aku, aye, akika (bahasa gaul)
You: anda: kamu, elu, ente
Good morning: selamat pagi: 'met pagi
Good evening: selamat malam: 'met malam
Nice to meet you: senang berjumpa dengan anda: hai 'bro!
Take care: hati-hati: titi deejay (acronym from 'hati-hati di jalan')
See you: sampai jumpa: ketemu lagi yaw
Trully sorry if I made mistake: maaf bila saya berbuat kesalahan: kalo ade saleh maapin aye
I'm sorry: maafkan saya: maapin aye
Finish: sudah, selesai: sutra, kelar 'bo
Yes: ya: iye, yo-i
No: tidak: nggak, gak, enggak
(further, you can ask me anytime :D)
