Hello everyone! Welcome to our podcast.
Hello friends, I am Rizky!
And I am Sari, glad to meet again.
How are you doing today, Sari?
I am good, but this afternoon I panicked.
Wow, why did you panic? What was the problem?
When paying for books at the shop, my wallet was lost!
Oh dear, were you panicking over buying books again?
Hey, not because of shopping! My wallet was really lost.
Oh no, losing a wallet really shocks you.
Yes, my heart felt like dropping, Rizky.
But you are calm and safe now, right?
Already calm, because the wallet is back.
Very good, luckily your important item is safe.
Many people often lose their belongings.
True, especially when walking in crowded places.
Because of that, today we learn about lost wallets.
We will learn six important and practical phrases.
Six easy phrases for Indonesian language beginners.
First phrase when realizing the loss: My wallet is lost.
Second phrase when searching location: Where was it left behind?
Third phrase to ask people: Did anyone see it?
Fourth phrase to ask for help: Ask the staff.
Fifth phrase when checking contents: What are the contents?
And sixth phrase bringing relief: Luckily it has been found.
All these phrases are very useful in daily life.
Learning a new language does not feel difficult.
Now, I want to tell an exciting story from yesterday!
Come on, let us listen to an experience story from Rizky.
Yesterday afternoon, I went to an art market in Bandung.
The art market in Bandung is cool, pleasant, and lively, right?
Yes, many big cool trees and wooden handicraft stalls.
Surely it was fun to take a relaxing stroll there.
I wanted to buy a batik keychain as a gift for my friend.
Wow, a batik gift is a very nice and unique choice.
At the craft stall, I chose a blue keychain.
The color was surely bright and the craft neat.
Then I opened my small bag and took out cash.
Shopping at an art market is indeed nice with cash.
I paid the seller, then put my wallet in my back pocket.
Oh dear, the back pants pocket is not safe, Rizky!
Haha, yes, at that time I was relaxing while eating grass jelly ice.
Eating sweet grass jelly ice indeed makes you forget your surroundings.
Half an hour later, I wanted to buy bottled water.
Was that when you realized something was wrong?
When I touched my pants pocket, my wallet was lost!
Oh no, you must have been shocked and felt weak immediately!
Yes, my body immediately felt cold and my pocket was empty.
You must have panicked thinking: Where was it left behind?
Exactly, I immediately tried to remember where I sat earlier.
Hopefully your wallet just dropped near that spot.
I went back to the wooden bench where I drank grass jelly ice.
And what was the situation under the wooden bench?
Under the bench was empty, no wallet at all.
Oh dear, this kind of situation makes you even more confused.
I asked the ice seller: Did anyone see it?
Great, asking people around is the right first step.
The seller did not see it, but gave advice: Ask the staff.
Smart advice, market security staff surely know lost item information.
I immediately ran fast toward the market security post.
Hopefully the guards on duty there could help search.
At the security post, there was a neatly uniformed officer welcoming me warmly.
The officer surely asked for proof that it was your wallet, right?
Yes, the officer smiled and asked: What are the contents?
You have to explain item contents clearly and completely.
I mentioned my name card, cash, and family photo.
And did all those items match the wallet at the office?
Very matched, the officer then opened the desk drawer and took it out.
Thank goodness, a kind visitor honestly returned your wallet!
The officer gave the wallet back, and I said: Luckily it has been found.
A story that brings great relief, people there are really honest.
I was very grateful, and bought the seller sweet iced tea.
Very good, giving thanks is a sign of a good person.
Now, come on let us study those six phrases one by one.
Let us discuss their meanings and usage examples in conversation.
We begin with our first phrase: My wallet is lost.
Dompetku hilang means my wallet is lost.
The word dompet means a place to store money, and hilang means not there.
When you realize your item is missing, say this directly.
For example to a shop cashier: Excuse me, my wallet is lost, let me check first.
You can also add the word waduh in front of the sentence.
Exactly, like: Oh dear, my wallet is lost, I cannot pay.
Friends or cashiers will immediately understand and want to help.
Now we move on to the second phrase: Where was it left behind?
Ketinggalan di mana means where was it left.
We use this phrase when trying to find out the item's location.
Not because it was stolen, but we accidentally forgot putting it down.
For example when asking a friend: Where was your wallet left behind, Rizky?
The answer can be: Left behind on the dining table, or on the cafe chair.
This phrase invites us to remember the last place we sat.
True, so we know where to start searching from.
We move to the third phrase: Did anyone see it?
Ada yang lihat means did anyone see it.
The word lihat is a casual form of the word melihat.
This phrase is short and friendly when asking people around.
For example to a cafe waiter: Excuse me, did anyone see my wallet?
Or ask a roommate: Did anyone see my keys?
The sentence is brief, polite, and pleasant to hear.
People who hear it will immediately help look around.
Now the fourth phrase which is important: Ask the staff.
Tanya ke petugas means ask the staff.
A petugas is an official staff member working at that location.
For example security post guards or station information staff.
If you are confused in a crowded place, your friend will suggest:
Do not panic yet, try asking the staff over there.
Staff usually store items found by visitors.
So, asking staff is the safest step.
Then the fifth phrase when at the security post: What are the contents?
Isinya apa saja means what's inside.
The word isi means items inside a wallet or bag.
And apa saja asks for a complete list of items.
The officer will ask: The lost wallet, what are its contents?
We can answer: The contents are a name card, photo, and cash.
This is useful to prove that the wallet belongs to us.
The officer matches the items so it is not given to the wrong person.
And our sixth phrase full of gratitude:
Untung sudah ketemu!
Untung sudah ketemu means luckily it has been found.
The word untung shows a feeling of relief and gratitude.
And sudah ketemu means the item was successfully retrieved again.
When your wallet returns to your hands, say with joy:
Thank goodness, luckily it has been found, thank you very much!
All feelings of worry and tension disappear right away.
These six phrases are very practical and sequential.
Now, let us try daily conversation practice!
Let us enter the relaxed conversation practice section.
Rizky, imagine you are riding a public minivan on city streets.
Wow, I like riding minivans when traveling on a budget.
When you step down from the minivan, you realize your pants pocket is empty.
I am immediately shocked and say: Oh dear, my wallet is lost!
Then the friend beside you directly asks what?
My friend would surely ask: Where was it left behind, Rizky?
And you directly ask toward the minivan driver:
Mr. driver, excuse me, did anyone see a black wallet?
Very good, that sentence is polite and straight to the point.
If in a large train station, how do we do it, Sari?
If at a station, do not walk alone searching across all platforms.
Yes, train stations are big and passengers are very crowded.
We should directly walk to the station information post.
So we can say to our friend: Come on, ask the staff.
Station staff can make announcements through loudspeakers.
When reporting, the staff will ask about our wallet contents.
The officer asks friendly: What are the contents?
We mention the identity card, wallet color, and amount of money.
After the data matches, the officer returns the wallet to you.
We immediately smile broadly and say: Luckily it has been found.
It must feel very relieved and calm, Rizky.
So true, I feel like treating the friend who accompanied me to a meal!
Hey by the way, if a wallet is lost, what is your first step?
For me, search the last location directly for ten minutes.
Wow, I have a different opinion, Rizky.
Oh really? Why do you have another opinion, Sari?
In my opinion, the first step must be calling the bank to block ATM cards.
But if you block cards immediately, unblocking is troublesome if the wallet is found quickly.
True, but if the wallet is taken by bad people, money in cards could be lost.
Good point, so search a bit first, if not found after fifteen minutes, then block the cards.
Well, that is a great and wise agreement!
Besides, here is a good tip: always keep a name card or emergency number in your wallet.
Great idea! I also always take photos of important cards and save them on my phone.
So if there is trouble on the road, we still have complete data.
Wow, our chat today makes us even more alert.
Now, I am ready to join the situation quiz from Sari!
Great, let us test understanding with six exciting quiz questions.
Situation number one: You want to pay for coffee at the cashier, but the wallet is not in your bag. What do you say in panic?
The answer: My wallet is lost.
Exactly right, my wallet is lost is a very clear expression.
The cashier and our friend will immediately understand our situation.
Situation number two: Your friend panics searching for a lost item at the mall. You want to know where they last held it. What do you ask?
The answer: Where was it left behind?
Correct! This question invites your friend to remember the last location.
So we can search earlier places together.
Situation number three: You return to the cafe table, and want to ask people at the adjacent table. What do you ask politely?
The answer: Did anyone see it?
Wonderful, did anyone see it is a friendly way to ask.
People at the next table will be glad to help search.
Situation number four: Your friend is confused searching for a wallet in a station. You suggest asking the staff there for help. What is your advice?
The answer: Ask the staff.
Very clever! Station staff are the most appropriate people.
Staff can announce through the station loudspeakers.
Situation number five: You report to the security post, and the guard wants to make sure the wallet is yours. What does the guard ask you?
The answer: What are the contents?
Exact! The guard needs to match items inside that wallet.
We explain types of cards, money, or photos inside it.
Situation number six: The officer returns your intact wallet. You feel very grateful and happy. What do you say?
The answer: Luckily it has been found.
Great, all six of your quiz answers are one hundred percent correct!
