lha kan saran itu bisa dihitung bu? misal nih dia memberi saya tiga saran yang berbeda untuk menyelesaikan masalah saya.
lha ya itu. disitu salahnya.
apa yang salah bu?
lha ya itu menganggap advice, saran, itu termasuk countable nouns.
lho? maksud ibu advice itu uncountable noun?
yap
masak sih bu?
gini-gini yang satu ini patut diingat. suatu kata benda bisa saja termasuk kata benda yang tidak bisa dihitung dalam bahasa inggris tapi dalam bahasa lain kata benda yang sama malah masuk golongan kata benda yang bisa dihitung. contohnya ya saran alias advice tadi itu.
sik sik kata benda apa aja yang kayak gini ini bu? bikin pusing menentukan countable atau uncountablenya hehe
ada yang konsep seperti accommodation, luggage, travel, terus material seperti wood, sand, water, cheese.
terus apalagi bu?
ada information, news, knowledge, termasuk tidak bisa dihitung tuh.
oh ngerti aku sekarang.
ada satu lagi. uncountable nouns ini kalau dalam bentukan plural biasanya yang dihitung ukuran atau tempatnya. misal yah a glass of water versus two glasses of water. waternya sendiri tetep uncountable noun tapi ukuran atau tempatnya ya kamu lihat sendiri, bisa singular bisa plural. bikin contoh sendiri sono.
kalo a slice of cheese bisa bu?
bisa banget. contoh lainnya meski luggage sebagai satu konsep termasuk uncountable nouns tapi kita bisa bilang a bag atau two bags.
wah sip sip. ngerti aku sekarang
can i give you a piece of advice?
but of course.
ayo dicoba dalam kalimat biar inget terus uncountable nouns itu. perhatikan juga kalo pas baca nemu uncountable nouns. intinya sih belajar gih sono!
ah ibu ga seru deh!
netral, ga ada komitmen untuk memihak pihak manapun. i prefer to sit on the fence. i need to learn more before i share my opinions.
- #salah salah kata. kepeleset kata. i am sorry, it was a slip of the tongue really. I did not mean to say that.
- #lapar sekali. i only had a very light breakfast this morning. i could eat a horse.
- #ga enak badan, biasanya karena perubahan cuaca. i am feeling a little under the weather. i'd better get some rest.
- #kesimpulan singkatnya. just tell the story in a nutshell. i do not need to know all the details.
- #keputusan ada ditanganmu. so, what do you think we should do now? the ball is in your court!
- #full monty. lengkap, keseluruhan. i am full. my lunch was such a full monty! 4 sehat 5 sempurna, lengkap deh! eh tapi ati-ati ya, full monty juga bisa berarti naked :D
- #adam and eve. berima dengan kata believe. do you adam and eve it? kamu percaya ga?
- #bug. nggangguin, ngeselin. aarrrrgh don't bug me. don't you see that i am busy?
- #tube. tipi aka tv aka televisi. i will stay at home watching the tube.
- #snore. membosankan. tau kan snore sendiri benernya berarti ngorok? it was a 3 hour meeting. what a snore!
- #doggy bag. membungkus makanan yang telah dipesan tapi tidak habis dimakan di restoran. i'm full. do you have a doggy bag?

iya ih, ibu ga seru deh … :D

maksudnya two glasses of water kali ya?
whoaa … fisto got ya! good eye kiddo! it just shows that ibu teacher is human whom we should hormati for trying to share her passion. (to err is human etc etc ;))
btw; don’t be surprised when you hear native speakers use uncountable adjective for countable noun (eg “less people” instead of “fewer people”)! just because english is the only language they know, it doesn’t necessarily mean they can speak it properly. it also doesn’t mean that you should follow their salah kaprah especially when you write a formal essay.
ps. thanks for the email. i’ve been ill for most of the cold season.
thanks fisto. musti kursus ngetik dan membiasakan ngedit nih. biasanya main hajar ketik lalu publish :D
