Useful Indonesian Phrases #7 - Halo semuanya. Apa kabar? Hello, how are you? This time, I wanna share how to ask, "Can you my picture?" in the Indonesian language. I'll be teaching you the colloquial way of saying this, which we use in Indonesia's daily life.
If you have any questions regarding the Indonesian language, you can ask me directly, or you can join my group. You can see it on my About Me page.
So, without further ado, let's dive in!
Can You Take My Picture?
This phrase that I'm about to teach you will come in handy if you're traveling to Indonesia, and you want to take a picture of yourself. You can say this phrase,
Maaf. Bisa tolong fotoin saya?
[Maaf] here means [excuse me]. This is a polite way in the Indonesian language when you want to ask someone to do something. But in other cases [maaf] means [forgive me]. But in this case, we usually use [maaf] when we want to ask someone to help us out with something in a polite way.
